SERVER: Hi. Welcome to the Farkel Family Restaurant. I’ll be your server today. You’re just in time for our early-bird special, so you can choose from that menu or from the regular menu. Can I start you off with some appetizers and something to drink?
ALAN: I think I may have a beer. What do you have on draft?
SERVER: We have Statler Lite and Orange Cow on tap.
ALAN: What’s your house wine?
SERVER: The house red is a Napa Valley cabernet, and the house white is a chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina.
ALAN: I’ll have a glass of cabernet.
SERVER: And for you, ma’am?
LIA: I’m driving so I’ll just have an OJ.
SERVER: Would you like any appetizers?
ALAN: No, I think we’ll just have the entree. I’ll have the filet mignon.
SERVER: Sure. How would you like it?
ALAN: I’d like it rare. And hold the mushrooms.
SERVER: And for you, ma’am?
LIA: I’ll have the seafood combination with rice.
SERVER: The dinner comes with a vegetable. What would you like?
ALAN: I’ll have broccoli and a side salad.
LIA: And I’ll have some sautéed onions with the seafood.
