[speaker001:] we really were lucky. We got the last available table for two-and we didn't even have a reservation! Did you see the long lines behind us?
[speaker002:] yeah, I'm glad that we didn't have to wait long. I'm starving!
[speaker001:] let's take a look at the menu so we can order. Do you want to choose an appetizer for us to share?
[speaker002:] what would you rather have, samosas or poppadoms?
[speaker001:] I heard that one of their specialities is the samosa.
[speaker002:] well, let's get a plate of those then.
[speaker001:] sounds good. What are you going to have for your main course?
[speaker002:] I think I might have a dahl.
[speaker001:] what's in a dahl?
[speaker002:] it's got chickpeas and vegetables in a spicy curry sauce with rice.
[speaker001:] that sounds nice. Do you want to share some kebabs as well?
[speaker002:] ok. How about some lamb kebabs?
[speaker001:] that's my favourite. Do you want to have some wine or beer?
[speaker002:] I think I'll have a beer.
[speaker001:] ok, shall I flag down the waitress?
[speaker002:] I wouldn't recommend it. I think we should wait until she comes round.
[speaker001:] you're right. That might seem a bit rude. It's a good thing I've got you with me!
[speaker002:] what would you do without me?
