Script
M :
Good evening, ma’am. My name is Mike. I’ll be your server today. Are you ready to order? Or do you need some more time?
W :
We are ready, thanks. I’d like the New York strip steak, and my husband will have the seafood spaghetti.
M :
How would you like the New York strip steak prepared?
W :
Medium-rare, please. And can I have rice instead of French fries?
M :
Yes, of course. Would you like a salad or vegetables with that?
W :
A salad with Caesar dressing would be nice.
M :
Great, and would you like an appetizer or soup to start?
W :
Hmm... what’s the soup of the day?
M :
Today we have clam chowder.
W :
Good. Okay, we’ll have two bowls of that.
M :
Certainly. And can I get you anything to drink?
W :
We’d like just still water with ice, please.
M :
Yes. Coming shortly. [Pause]  Here’s what you ordered. Is there something else I can do for you?
W :
No, thanks. We are good for now.
M :
Enjoy your meal.
