Transcript for Christmas Dinner

Woman: Right, let's try and get it sorted out today so we don't have it hanging over us, okay?

Man: Good idea, I'll take notes.

Woman: First thing, numbers. Have we got anything definite?

Man: Well, I've been working it out, and I think 40 to 43.

Woman: Shall we put 45 to be on the safe side?

Man: Yep, fine.

Woman: Dates? Well, that's straightforward.

Man: The last working day before Christmas, which is...

Woman: Which is December 21st.

Man: Which is going to be pretty difficult to book at Christmas. So, we'd better think of two or three places just to be on the safe side.

Woman: Well, last year's was hopeless.

Man: The Red Lion, isn't it?

Woman: Yeah, we ought to go for something more expensive because you...

Man: You get what you pay for.

Woman: That new Indian restaurant in Weatherfield is supposed to be excellent. The Rajdoot.

Man: Oh, how do you spell that?

Woman: R-A-J-D-O-O-T.

Man: And it's bound to be packed.

Woman: Well, let's put that down as the first choice and have some backups. What about the Park View Hotel as a second choice?

Man: Yeah, that's always reliable. Park View Hotel.

Woman: And the London Arms, in case.

Man: London Arms?

Woman: I'll call them now, if you want.

Man: No, I'll do it, John. You're really busy. Have you got the numbers?

Woman: Not for the Rajdoot, but...right. Park View Hotel. 777192 And London Arms. 208.657.

Man: Great. Before I ring, we'd better just make sure there was in the price range.

Woman: Up to 15 pounds ahead.

Man: I think you'll find some people won't be able to go that high.

Woman: Well, you can't get anything decent under 10 pounds.

Man: Okay, we'll say 12.

Woman: Okay.

Man: And we'd better make sure there's good vegetarian food.

Woman: And a non-smoking section. You know what the boss is like.

Man: Don't remind me. I'll let you know as soon as I get anything.

Man: Good news. I found Rajdoot's number straight away, and they can fit us in. Their Christmas menu sounds great.

Woman: What is it?

Man: French onion soup or fruit juice?

Woman: Uh-huh.

Man: Roast dinner or lentil curry? Sounds ordinary, but my friend said it was really tasty.

Woman: Mmm, lentil curry. That's unusual.

Man: And then for dessert, there's traditional plum pudding or apple pie. A plus coffee.

Woman: That sounds really good for 12 pounds. Did you book it?

Man: I'd said I'd check with the staff first, but they did say they'd hold the booking until next Wednesday anyway. Oh, and if we go ahead, they'd like a 50-pound deposit.

Woman: Oh, 50 is normal. That's fine.

Man: And they want a letter.

Woman: All right, to confirm.

Man: Oh, they say, with such large numbers, we have to choose the menu in advance.

Woman: Well, that won't be a problem. I'll put up a notice with details of the restaurant and the menu. When did you say they wanted confirmation by?

Man: It was, uh, let's see. Uh, the 4th of November.

Woman: Where do you think I should put up the notice? Where everyone's guaranteed to see it.

Man: On the cafe notice board, I should think.

Woman: Hardly anyone looks at that.

Man: Well, the newsletters, probably your best bet.

Woman: Good idea. I'll go and do that now.
