Hey Jennifer, I'm trying to plan dinner with some friends coming in from out of town this Friday. Could you call Lonesome Dove and see if we can get a table?
Yeah sure. So, Friday night but what time? And how many people will it be? 
Let's say 7:00 pm, and there will be a total of 12. I would love to get the private dining room if available.
Alright, let me give them a call.
Thanks, let me know when you get it situated.
So, I'm on the phone with them right now, and they said the private dining room is booked for the whole night.
Damn that sucks.  Just tell them we will take a seat in the regular dining room then.  
Ok, hang on. 
Ok, I'm going to be so pissed if they can't get us in. 
Yeah, so they said for that size group, the only times they have available on Friday are either 5:00 or 8:30.
Yeah well that won't work, just tell them to forget it. I'll have to come up with something else. 
Are you sure? Maybe I try for Saturday night?
No, we already have plans then. Just tell them never mind. 
Alright, where do you want to try next? 
I guess try the Reata. Same time please.
Got it, I'll give them a call. 
Ok, thanks. I knew I shouldn't have waited until last minute to plan this. 
No worries, we will figure this out. I promise we will find you a great dinner spot. 
Ok, let me know what the Reata says please.
Ok, great news. You're booked for the San Jose room at 7:00.
You are a life saver. Thank you so much!
No worries, now you just need to take me to lunch!
