Enough lies! You don't have the money to pay the bill, am I right? I hope Mike is here. I couldn't find him in his office. Mike, are you there?

Hey, hi David. What are you doing here? Is everything alright?

Oh, I'm happy you're here. Hello, Mike. Please, bro, I need a favor.

A favor? Um, alright, but what kind of favor?

Well, I'm sorry to ask you this, but I need you to lend me money, please.

Oh no, not again, David. David, what do you need it for this time?

Listen, it's very important. I have a date with my new girlfriend Martha tonight, and I want to take her to a beautiful and luxury restaurant, Lavella. It's Italian, I think.

That's great, wait a minute, and you don't have the money?

Not really, I don't have enough. But I can pay you back next week, I promise.

David, man, you always say that. I don't have extra cash right now, I'm sorry, bro.

Oh come on, just this once. I promise I will pay you back. I will get some extra money next week.

No way, I already told you I don't have money now, sorry.

What are you going to do now?

I'll figure something out. I can't tell her the truth, she thinks I'm rich.

No way. Good luck with that, man, you're going to need it.

Yeah, I suppose so. Well, I'll see what to do. Thank you anyway.

So here we are. This is the restaurant I was telling you about. Do you like it?

Oh my god, this place is beautiful. Thank you for bringing me here.

David, don't even mention it. You deserve only the best for you.

Good evening, welcome to Bella Vita. Do you have a reservation?

Good evening, yes. My reservation is in the name of David White, table for two, please.

Of course, welcome Mr. White. Come over here please, I have a good table for you.

Our special tonight is a grilled salmon with truffle sauce served with roasted vegetables. We also have a fillet mignon with a side of mashed potatoes and asparagus. They are very delicious. Would you like to hear about the appetizers?

Uh, sure, uh, but first tell me, how much is the salmon?

Of course, that would be $65.

$65? Wow, I mean, yeah. And oh, and the steak?

The steak is $80, sir.

Right, right, I see. And the appetizers, how much does it cost?

We have shrimp cocktail for $25, a cheese platter for $30, and a Caesar salad for $20.

Um, alright, I think I'll have the salmon, it sounds delicious.

Oh yeah, a great choice. I'll have… let me check… just a Caesar salad. I'm not very hungry tonight. My stomach feels a little upset.

Oh no, are you okay? If you need a pill, we can go to the nearest pharmacy.

Yeah, yeah, just a little delicate today, but I'm fine, don't worry.

Then the salmon will be… and for drinks, what would you like to order?

Oh, I'd love a glass of wine, red wine please. That's my favorite wine.

But no, I mean, yeah, okay, but why don't you better order some lemonade?
