The waiter walks away.
M r s S m i t h. You are clever Jack, but what about dessert.
M r S m i t h. Dont worry, they bring round a sweet trolley, so we just point at what we fancy!
A while later Mr & Mrs Smith have finished eating and are drinking their coffee.
W a i t e r. Was everything to your satisfaction? M r & M r s S m i t h. Yes, lovely thank you.
M r S m i t h. The whole meal was delicious, our compliments to the chef. Unfortunately we have to be back for the baby-sitter so could we pay now?
W a i t e r. Certainly sir, Ill bring you the bill. Would you like me to order you a taxi.
