Situation 9:
Going to Lunch
Wow,that went pretty well.Mr.Barnes was easy today.
Easy on you maybe,I don’t think he likes me.
Don’t be ridiculous.He likes you,but he’s a businessman
like me and so I know how to talk to him.
I’m not so sure.
Well,I’m sure that I’m hungry.Why don’t we continue
talking over lunch?
That sounds great;I’m starving (They walk outside the
building to a restaurant.)
Do you like Italian food? This place is terrific.
Like it?I love it.Let’s go in.(They sit down and
look at the menu for a while,then the waitress comes.)
What are your specials today?
Today we have roasted lamb and vegetable lasagna.
I highly recommend the lasagna.
The lasagna sounds good;I’ll have that.
And you,sir?
No.No vegetables for me,I want some meat.I’ll try the lamb,
please.
Also an excellent choice.Would you care for anything
to drink?
Yes,I’ll have a double martini.
Steve,what about the meeting?
Oh.Yes.Better make that a mineral water.
I’ll have some lemonade,please.And could you bring us
some bread to start?
Of course,I’ll be right back with that.
I like this place.They have really good service.
Just follow me and you won’t go wrong.
Not with restaurants,at least.
