Table for Two

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”

“Oh, I thought you said something.”

“No, must be all the noise.”

“Oh, yeah, it is noisy in here.”

“The music’s too loud.”

“Yeah, it’s too loud.”

 

“So, what are you going to order?”

“I don’t know. What are you going to order?”

“I’m going to have the same thing I always order.”

“Yeah, that sounds good. I think I’ll try the buffalo.”

“The buffalo, are you sure? Aren’t you allergic to buffalo?”

“I don’t know yet, but I’m going to try it.”

 

“So, how’s yours?”

“Good. It tastes like it always does. How’s the buffalo?”

“It’s fantastic. I’ve never had anything like it. You’ve got to try this!”

“Nah, it doesn’t look good to me. You eat it.”

“All right, but you don’t know what you’re missing.”

 

“So, do you want dessert?”

“No, I’m full. Do you?”

“Yeah, I think I’ll try the flaming custard.”

“The flaming custard, are you sure? Aren’t you allergic to that?”

“I don’t know yet, but I’m going to try it.”

 

“Well, how is it?”

“I’ve never tasted anything this good. Here, you’ve got to try a bite.”

“Nah, I’m full. You eat it.”

“All right, but you don’t know what you’re missing.”

 

“So, you ready to go?”

“Yeah, I’m ready to go.”

“So, what do you want to do next?”

“I don’t know. What do you want to do?”

“I don’t know. I’m stuffed. Maybe we should just go home.”

“Fine. Let’s go home.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

 

“Hey, did you see that couple sitting next to us?”

“Yeah, I sure hope we never end up like that.”

“Yeah, they just sat there talking about nothing.”

“I know, I know. I felt sorry for them.”

“Promise me that’ll never be us.”

“Don’t worry, honey, we’ll never be like that.”

“You’re right. We never run out of things to say.”

 

“What did you say?”

“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”

“Oh, I thought you said something.”
