Sabrina: Good evening.
Waitress: Good evening.
Sabrina: Thank you. Do you have any specials today?
Waitress: Today's special is scalloped pork with whipped cream and mushrooms flambée.
Sabrina: Okay.
Waitress: Served with French fries.
Sabrina: Very good.
Waitress: Also, today's cod is prepared with whipped cream.
Sabrina: Cod à la crème fraîche.. Okay. We'll have a look at the menu. Thank you.
Waitress: Have you made your choice?
Sabrina: Yes. Go ahead, Arnaud.
Arnaud: Actually, I'm going to get today's special.
Waitress: Would you like it à la carte or with the menu?
Arnaud: Hmm, à la carte. Just the dish with fries.
Waitress: Okay. Oh, all these papers…I'll get there.
Arnaud: And you, what do you want?
Sabrina: I'm going to get the special for 11 euros with the vegetable soup as a first course, and the cod à la brasse as the main dish. That's it.
Arnaud: And we're also having…
Sabrina: Drinks…
Arnaud: Drinks, uh…first, water with the meal. Then, as an apéritif, I'd like a Sagresse.*
Sabrina: Do you have half-liter bottles of mineral carbonated water?
Waitress: I don't think so.
Sabrina: No? Only non-carbonated water.
Waitress: Or we have smaller bottles. These are all carbonated drinks.
Sabrina: You only have Badoit, in fact. Okay, well, I don't want anything, then. Just regular water.
Waitress: A pitcher?
Sabrina: Yes, a pitcher of water.
Waitress: Okay.
Arnaud: So that's it.
Sabrina: Thanks a lot.
Arnaud: Thank you.
Sabrina: That's for me. Thank you.
Waitress: Enjoy your meal!
Sabrina: Would you like some bread?
Arnaud: No, thanks.
Sabrina: Are these homemade fries?
Arnaud: Yes, do you want to try them?
Sabrina: No, thanks. What is it? What kind of meat is that? Pork? I thought this was scalloped turkey. Do you want to try some of my cod?
Arnaud: No, thanks.
Sabrina: Some of my tomatoes, olives? I don't know how it's prepared. I think these are potatoes.
Arnaud: It looks like rice.
Sabrina: Do you think so?
Sabrina: Isn't he the one who used to go Bordeaux to do the grape harvest?
Arnaud: No.
Sabrina: Ah.
Waitress: Here you go.
Sabrina: Thank you. Can we have the bill afterwards?
Waitress: Sure.
Sabrina: And we'll pay with credit card. Do we have to go downstairs?
Waitress: Yes, downstairs for credit cards.
Sabrina: Okay, thanks. Thank you very much.
