'Waiter there is an aeroplane in my soup!'

"Looks like dinner's going to take just a little longer."

"Your food didn't melt, young man... this is the soup course."

Frank & Ernie's Diner. Special: Scrabbled Eggs. No, sir, it's not a misprint -- Ernie adds alphabet soup.

"Which wine would you pair with the complimentary bread and butter?"

'You're lucky there, Sir. That's the last one in the world.'

'Who gets the decaf?'

"Have you decided on what you'd like to have?"
