Lesson H - Eating out

Rebecca : This looks like a nice restaurant. Scott : Yeah, it is. I come here all the time. Rebecca : Let's sit over there. Scott : OK. Rebecca : Can you pass me a menu please. Scott : Sure. What are you going to have to drink? Rebecca : I'm going to have a glass of beer. How about you? Scott : I think I'll have a glass of wine. Rebecca : Do you want to order an appetizer first? Scott : Not really, maybe we can just order some bread. Rebecca : OK. What are you going to have to eat? Scott : I'm not sure. I haven't decided yet. Can you recommend something? Rebecca : Sure, I've had the steak and the lobster before. They're both very good. Scott : I think I'll have the lobster. What are you going to have? Rebecca : I'm not that hungry. I think I'm just going to have a salad. Scott : I'm gonna go to the bathroom. When the waitress comes back, will you order for me? Rebecca : Sure. No problem.
