Dan: How's the braised quail?
Waiter: Very good, sir.
Dan: OK. And the, uh, the lay-pin?
Waiter: Lah-pan. Lah-pan. It's delightful.
Dan: OK, what is that again?
Waiter: Rabbit, sir.
Dan: Oh, well, I won't be having that. Um, how about chicken? You can't go wrong with chicken.
Waiter: Yes, sir.
Dan: Thank you.
Waiter: Miss?
Serena: Uh, I'll have the Lobster Bisque and Muscovy duck, please. Thank you.
Waiter: Merci, mademoiselle.
Dan: I can't believe the waiter forgot me. I was ...I was just here ... the other day. Yeah, I come here for the crowd. You wanna play “mistress or second wife”? Because it's harder than it looks. Believe me. So is her face.
Serena: Uh, will you excuse me? I, uh...I'm gonna go to the restroom to freshen up a little.
Dan: Yeah, of course, of course. I think the bathrooms are ...
Serena: Uh, don't worry. I'll find them.
Dan: Oh, excuse me, sir. Uh, how much is that duck she just ordered?
Waiter: $ 78, sir.
Dan: OK, right. Thank you. Um, you know what? Can you just cancel my main dish, and I'll just have the appetizer as the main.
Waiter: Of course, sir.
Dan: Thank you, Merci.
重点讲解：
1. restroom n. 公共厕所，洗手间
相关的说法还有：bathroom, toilet
2. appetizer n. 开胃菜
例句：If your last name starts with A～D, please bring an appetizer. 如果你的姓以字母A～D打头，请自带开胃小吃。
3. go wrong with 出毛病，有问题
例句：Yes, we do-but this time something go wrong with the transmission, and it is not readable. 有，我们收到了。但是这一次的传真好像在传送上有些问题，所以无法看得清楚。
4. fresh up 梳洗，变得精神饱满
“freshen”是“fresh”的动词形式，表示“变新鲜”的意思。
例句：Fresh up with Seven-up. 七喜助你精神焕发。
