How are you doing today? How many in your book today?
Fine, thank you. There be five of us. The rest will be along shortly.
Smoking or non?
Non-smoking is fine, thank you.
Right, this way, please. Something to drink first?
Just water, please.
Wold you like to see menu first or wait for your friends?
I wait, but please bring me some bread. Maybe I'd like to have some appetizer before they get here. Please give me the menu, and let me have a look.
