'We're indeed not the cheapest restaurant in town. Why do you ask, sir?'

"The Garlic Escargot Velouté...would you like that in the traditional tureen, or supersize in a bucket?"

'‘Because I said so' or ‘Just wait until you have kids of your own' section?'

'Heads it's mortgage payment, tails it's 1st growth Bordeaux.'

"Seat yourself. Grab a menu. Take any table. Hey, you know how to cook?"

"Ignore the screams, sir. I'll get a new fork."

'Who orderes the roasted chicken plate and who ordered the soup?'

"You were right-we should have just split one."

"I'm not all you can eat? But I brought my special plate!"

"Yum! I should have ordered dessert, too—can I try yours?"

'Your bill sir.'

"Interested in some romantic punk rock during your dinner?"

"Have you had a chance to look at the menu?"
