Lesson 73 : Eating out
M.= Martin - G.= Gail - C.= Clark
M.:
We
thought
we'd
go out
tonight
if
you're not too tired. There's a very good Italian restaurant just around the corner and there's also an excellent Indian place in town if you like Indian food.
G.: The children won't eat anything more exotic than a hamburger, I'm afraid.
M.: Well, we can get a take-away from MacDonalds for the kids, get them a video to watch and go out on our own.
C.: Sounds like a great idea to me. That'll give us a chance to catch up on all your news.
G.: We eat Italian quite often back home so it would be nice to go to an Indian restaurant for a change.
M.: Well, I'll phone and book a table now. (Picks up the phone and dials)... Hello, I'd like to book a table for four for this evening, please. ... Eight o'clock. ... Yes, four people. ...Sterne. ... No, S.T.E.R.N.E. ... Thank you. ... No sooner said than done. They're expecting us at eight. We'll have to leave here about a quarter to. I'll take the kids to get a take-away about seven and pick up a video on the way back.
Variety is the spice of life.
