[speaker001:] do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
[speaker002:] sure. Have you got anywhere in mind?
[speaker001:] I'm starving, so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions.
[speaker002:] that Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions. Do you want to go there?
[speaker001:] I'm not really in the mood for Italian, actually. I was thinking of something a bit spicy.
[speaker002:] if you want spicy food, then I'd recommend going to a Thai, Indian or Chinese restaurant. How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road?
[speaker001:] I really like that restaurant; you get a lot for your money there. But, they've westernized their food, so it's not actually that spicy.
[speaker002:] you're right. Most of their dishes have sweet sauces. We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us.
[speaker001:] the Taj? They're a bit expensive, but they do serve large portions of very hot food.
[speaker002:] the Taj it is then.
[speaker001:] shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money?
[speaker002:] they'll still charge us a corkage fee.
[speaker001:] that's right. It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway.
[speaker002:] don't worry about money. I'll treat you tonight.
[speaker001:] are you sure? We could go Dutch.
[speaker002:] no, I'll pay. It's my turn anyway. You paid last time.
[speaker001:] I won't argue with that! Let's go!
