Mr. Parson: Thank you. Do you want to choose, darling?

Mrs. Parson: Let me see. Er… Roast chicken with potatoes. And I'd like some vegetables too. And you?

Mr. Parson: I've no idea. Can you make a suggestion?

Mrs. Parson: Why don't you try grilled trot?

Mr. Parson: It's a very good idea. Waiter, please.

Waiter: may I have your order now?

Mr. Parson: Yes. Bring us grilled truth and roast chicken.

Waiter: What do you want to drink?
