Waiter: Are you ready to order, sir?

Mr. Williams: Yes. I’ll have the beef stew for starters and my wife would like tomato soup.

Waiter: One beef stew and one tomato soup. What would you like for the main course?

Mr. Williams: I’ll have the Cayenne Pepper Steak and my wife would like the Fried Trout with mashed potatoes.

Waiter: I’m afraid the trout is off.

Mrs. Williams: Oh dear. Err... What else do you recommend?

Waiter: The sole is very good.

Mrs. Williams: OK. I’ll have that. Do you have any coleslaw?

Waiter: No, I’m sorry, we don’t.

Mrs. Williams: Just give me a small mixed salad then.

Mr. Williams: Same for me.

Waiter: Certainly. Would you like something to drink?

Mr. Williams: Yes, please. May I see the wine list?

Waiter: Certainly. Here you are.

Mr. Williams: A bottle of Chablis ‘99, please.
