– Good evening. What are you going to order?
– Stake, maybe.

– Natural.
– Burnt to a crisp, medium or bloody?

– French fries, a little bit of sauerkraut for garnish?
– Yes, and add some green peas.
– Wine, brandy?
– No, thanks. Fanta “Grapes” with ice.
– Salad?
– Yes. Summer salad. Cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, spring onion, radish, dill, sunflower oil… Can you do it that way?
– We’ve got that kind of salad, it’s called “summer”, only it’s with olive oil.
– Even better. The vegetables here are nitrates-free, aren’t they?
– Yes, of course. The vegetables come here from a former assistant professor of one of local universities. He bought a tumbledown double-story house on a piece of wasteland, reconstructed it, fenced it, made a greenhouse, and began to produce top-quality vegetables for restaurants. He’s well off. We visit him sometimes.
– So you don’t check the vegetables?
– We do check them, every batch of vegetables. We have our own lab.
– Oh!
– Any soup?
– Borsch-soup, not much.
– Half a portion?
– Yes, please.
– Coffee, tea?
– Black Ceylon tea with lemon.
– For dessert?
– Chocolate waffle cake.

– A banana.
– Anything else?
– Some fish…
– We have a very good jellied pike-perch.
– Oh yes, please!
– Anything else?
– No, that’s it, I think, thanks. Yes, that’s it.
– I’ll bring it in a few minutes.
– Good evening. What would you like to order?
– I’ll go with a steak.
– And how would you like that to be done?
– Medium, please.
– And for your side?
– What are my options?
– Mashed or fries for your starch or a side of rice.
– Fries, please.
– And would you like a salad or a vegetable?
– Green peas, please, but I’d like a salad too.
– Very well.
– And to drink?
– Grape pop, if you have it, and I’d also like black coffee too, please.
– A summer salad, please, with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, green onions, radish, dill, and sunflower oil. Can you make it that way?
– That’s exactly what a summer salad is except that it comes with olive oil instead of sunflower oil.
– Great! Do you happen to know if the vegetables here are nitrate-free or not?
– They’re all nitrate free here. We actually get all of our vegetables from a former assistant professor from one of the agricultural departments here. He grows the best quality vegetables in the area.
– Do you still go ahead and check all of the vegetables yourselves?
– We check every batch of vegetables before we send any food out to the customer.

Some time later…

– Chocolate cake, please.

Машину можно напрокат?

– Конечно, Нет проблем, рады вам помочь. Какую марку хотите, куда собираетесь ехать?
– Мы едем в Сан-Франциско, я, жена и двое ребятишек. Нам мы хотелось что-нибудь покомфортнее.
– Сан-Франциско… От Нью-Йорка это чуть больше четырех тысяч километров. Я бы рекомендовал Шевроле Круиз. Это новая модель, разработана специально для дальних поездок. Кондиционер, плавный ход, круиз-контроль, люк, низкий уровень шумности, отличные технические характеристики. Заднее сиденье раскладывается, образуя два спальных места. Большой багажник. Надежная машина.
– Шевроле Круиз… Можно на нее посмотреть?
