do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
sure. Have you got anywhere in mind?
I'm starving, so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions.
that Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions. Do you want to go there?
I'm not really in the mood for Italian, actually. I was thinking of something a bit spicy.
if you want spicy food, then I'd recommend going to a Thai, Indian or Chinese restaurant. How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road?
I really like that restaurant ; you get a lot for your money there. But, they've westernized their food, so it's not actually that spicy.
you're right. Most of their dishes have sweet sauces. We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us.
the Taj? They're a bit expensive, but they do serve large portions of very hot food.
the Taj it is then.
shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money?
they'll still charge us a corkage fee.
that's right. It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway.
don't worry about money. I'll treat you tonight.
are you sure? We could go Dutch.
no, I'll pay. It's my turn anyway. You paid last time.
