22. In the Cafeteria 在自助餐厅里

A: What'll you have,sir?

B: I don't know. What's good today?

A: Why not try the beef pot pie? That's the special today. Lots of people come in on Mondays just to get our beef pot pie. Or, how about the oyster stew?

B: No, I'm hungry. That wouldn't last me the afternoon. I guess I'll have a hot beef sandwich with plenty of gravy.

A: Do you want it on whole wheat, white french, or rye?

B: Make it whole wheat.

A: Anything to drink?

B: Yes, coffee, but I'll come back for it later.
