Dialogue: What’s for Dinner?

Underline or highlight the phrases from the chapter.

Mike : Hey Sarah, what’s for dinner?

Sarah : Gee, I’ve been so wound up about my job interview tomorrow that I haven’t given
dinner a single thought.
Mike : I could really go for something spicy like chili. Sarah : Spicy? I’m not into spicy food
right now, and actually I don’t feel much like cooking. Mike : Well, don’t look at me. I hate
cooking. And besides you’re the expert. That spaghetti you made the other night was
awesome.
Sarah : Flattery will get you nowhere. What do you say to ordering a pizza?
Mike : Good idea. I’m crazy about pizza. In fact, my favorite is Hawaiian. Sarah
: I can’t stand pineapple on pizza.
Mike : I didn’t realize you were so fussy.
Sarah : I’m not. It’s just that I prefer to eat fruit for dessert, not with the main course.
Mike : How about if I order Hawaiian and you order something else?
Sarah : But a whole pizza is too much, and I don’t care for leftover pizza.
Mike : Well, there’s always Chinese food. Don’t we have a menu somewhere?
Sarah : The last time we ordered from that place the food was greasy and it took them forever to
deliver. But you know what? There’s a new Greek restaurant downtown. It’ll be my treat. Mike :
But doesn’t Greek food have lots of garlic? Just the thought of garlic turns me off.
Sarah : Garlic’s good for you. I can’t get enough of it myself.
Mike : At this rate we’ll never get anything to eat. I’m starving.
Sarah : Can’t you think about anything but your stomach?
Mike : Not when it’s getting close to dinnertime.
(The phone rings and Sarah answers.)
Ally : Hi, Sarah. Sorry for the late notice, but would you and Mike care to come over for
dinner tonight?
Sarah : Yeah, sure. Is there anything I can bring, like a salad?
Ally : No, just bring yourselves. Is six-thirty all right?
Sarah : That’s fine. See you then. Mike, guess what? Ally’s invited us over for dinner.
Mike : Sweet! Did she say what she was having?
Sarah : Really, Mike! Hey, we should pick up some wine on the way. What do you think, red or
white?
Mike : Actually, I’d rather get some beer.
Sarah : Oh no, here we go again.
