Mike: Hallo, everybody. What’re we having for supper?
Mom: Fish.
Mike: And chips?
Mom: I’m afraid I haven’t had any time. Just boiled potatoes and lettuce.
Mike: Oh, Mum. Let’s have chips.
Ellen: I’ll do the chips if you like.
Mom: Oh, all right, but get on with it. And, Mike you’d better set the table, will you?
Mike: Okay, Mum.
Dad: Pass me tomato sauce, will you Mike?
Mike: Here you are, dad.
Dad: Thanks.
Mom: Another piece of fish, Julian?
Dad: No, thank you, my dear. I’ve had enough.
Mom: And you, Mike?
Mike: Yes, please, a small one and another helping of chips if I may.
Mom: Yes, of course. There’s plenty left. Help yourself to some lettuce, Ellen, it’s good for you.
Ellen: No, thank you, Mummy, you have such a large helping.
Mom: A bit of cheese then?
Ellen: Yes, please, and I could do with a piece of that nice brown bread.
Mom: Here you are, dear, help yourself. And you Mike, pass me the butter, please.
