Fantastic characters

Ordering lunch and dinner



Waiter: Are you ready to order, sir?
Mr. Locke: What do you recommend me?
Waiter: If you taste our beef stew, I'm sure you will like it!


Mr. Locke: All right! I´ll have the beef stew for starters and my wife would like tomato soup.


Waiter: One beef stew and one tomato soup. What would you like for the main course?


Mr. Locke: I´ll have the Pork Steak and my wife would like the Fried Trout with mashed potatoes.

Waiter: I´m afraid the trout is off.


Mrs. Locke: Oh dear. Err... What else do you recommend?


Waiter: If you like vegetables, the cheese-spinach is a very good dish.


Mrs. Locke: OK. I´ll have that. Do you have any coleslaw?


Waiter: No, I´m sorry, we don´t


Mrs. Locke: O.k. I'll have a small mixed salad then.


Mr. Locke: The same for me.


Waiter: Good choice! Would you like something to drink?


Mr. Locke: Yes, please. May I see the wine list?


Waiter: Certainly. Here you are.
(...)

Mr. Locke: A bottle of Chablis ‘99, please.


Waiter: Excellent choice!
