- Waiter! Will you show us the bill of fare?
- Here you are, sir. And this is the wine list.
- Well, you may remove it as we are not going to take any drink. We are driving, you know. We mean to have a snack and that's all. Have you got lobsters?
- I'm sorry, sir, but they are not on the menu.
- What about salmon?
- We have run out of it.
- What a nuisance! Well, what is that famous food you treat your customers to?
- Chicken broth is our speciality.
b) - Is your restaurant licensed to serve hard drinks?
- Certainly, sir. And we have a wide choice of them, too.
- Very well. I'd like to have dinner. What would you recommend for the first course?
- I think there is nothing like onion soup which is, incidentally, our cook's favourite job.
- Indeed? And choosing a grill, what will you suggest?
- If you order roast saddle of mutton, you'll make a fine meal. And what about the sweet, sir?
- I'll go without it. Just a glass of mango juice.
- Well, you asked me about hard drinks. What will you have, sir?
- Nothing whatever. It was a mere curiosity.
c) - Will you please put your purse away, George?
- Why should I? It is my turn to pay.
- It is unfair. You paid the bill last time, didn't you?
- Yes, but the sum was so small that it isn't worth mentioning. If you object to me paying the account, let's go halves then.
