2. Script
------
James: Where have you been?
Ella: I'm sorry I'm late. There were a lot of customers in the store.
James: It's okay. I booked the table for seven o'clock but they have kept one back for us.
Ella: I didn't have much time to change.
James: You always look good.
Ella: (laughing) I wouldn't say that.
James: Well, let's eat, I'm starving.
Ella: Here's the waiter. I hope you asked for non-smoking.
James: Of course I did. I want to make this a special occasion.
Ella: And why would that be?
James: Because you've done so well in your exams.
Ella: I couldn't believe it when I saw all those A's.
James: Well, you deserved it. You worked hard. Now, have a look at the menu. Would you like a starter?
Ella: No, I think I'll just have a main course and dessert. I won't be able to eat it all otherwise.
James: So will I. What would you like to order?
Ella: Well, I do like fish and the salmon
looks great.
James: I think I'll have a steak. I never have that at home.
Ella: Sounds great.
James: What would you like to drink?
Ella: I'll have a still mineral water, please.
James: And I'll have a cola, I think.
Ella: It's busy here tonight.
James: Yes, this is a popular place. And it is the weekend.
Ella: It's a good job you booked the table.
James: Well, especially when it's busy it saves time later.
Ella: You're right. Well, here's to the future, and good luck with everything you do.
James: And well done in getting those wonderful grades!
Ella: Oh, look, here comes the waiter now! Let's order!
