6. Talking to Room Service



1.

A: I'd like to order dinner.

B: What would you like?

A: I'd like to order a bottle of champagne, lobster tail, and filet mignon, medium rare.

B: I'm sorry. We're currently out of filet mignon. May I suggest the porterhouse instead?

A: I'd prefer the filet, but the porterhouse will do.

B: And may I suggest chocolate-covered strawberries with the champagne?

A: Normally, I would take you up on that suggestion, but just the champagne will do for tonight.

B: Okay, no strawberries. Room service will be charged to your amenities account. Is that all right?

A: That's fine.

B: It will be up shortly. Enjoy your food, sir.



2.

A: Could I order dinner?

B: Of course. What would you like?

A: I want a bottle of champagne, lobster tail, and filet mignon, medium rare.

B: I'm so sorry. We ran out of filet mignon. May I suggest the porterhouse instead?

A: That's too bad, but the porterhouse will be okay.

B: May I be so bold as to suggest chocolate-covered strawberries with the champagne?

A: Not tonight, thank you.

B: No strawberries. We'll charge your amenities account, if that's okay.

B: Your meal will be delivered as soon as it's all ready. Enjoy!



3.

A: Could you bring me some food, please?

B: Sure. What do you fancy?

A: Can I have a bottle of champagne, lobster tail, and filet mignon, medium rare?

B: Sir, the filet mignon was so popular tonight that we ran out. May I suggest the porterhouse?

A: No filet? Okay, porterhouse will be fine then.

B: Perhaps you would like chocolate-covered strawberries with the champagne?

A: Not tonight, but thank you for the suggestion.

B: Okay. This will be charged to your amenities account, okay?

A: No problem.

A: I'd like you to bring me some food.

B: Just name it, sir.

A: Please send up a bottle of champagne, lobster tail, and filet mignon, medium rare.

B: Regrettably, we're currently out of filet mignon. May I suggest the porterhouse instead?

A: Sure, I love porterhouse, too.

5.

A: I need something to eat, please.

B: Tell me what you're hungry for.

A: Can I order something from the kitchen?

B: Just tell me what you'd like, please.

A: A bottle of champagne, lobster tail, and filet mignon, medium rare would hit the spot.

B: I hate to tell you this, but we have no more filet mignon. May I suggest the porterhouse instead?

A: Sure! Right now, I would even eat hamburger!

B: Have you ever tried chocolate-covered strawberries with champagne?

A: Thank you, but I just finished eating some chocolate-covered cherries.

B: That'll be a bottle of champagne, lobster tail, and porterhouse, all charged to your amenities account.
