***Restaurant***
                          
S: We have a reservation, under Reid and Jackson.
                          
Waiter: This way please.
                          
S: Thanks.
                          
Waiter: Here is your table. Would you like anything to drink? (He said giving them both menus)
                          
A: Uh, I’ll take a coke.
                          
S: Give me the same.
                          
Waiter: Okay, I’ll be back with your drinks shortly. 
                          
S: Can you please tell Jackson that Spencer and Adam are here?
                          
Waiter: It’s Jackson’s night off. He left three hours ago.
                          
S: Oh, okay then.
                          
Waiter: I’ll be back momentarily.
                          
S: Thanks.
                          
A: That’s a bummer. (He said after the waiter left)
                          
S: Yeah, I just thought he’d be here.
                          
A: Me too. I forgot that he doesn’t live here.
                          
S: I’ll try calling him quick.
                          
A: He won’t answer. His phone was off when I tried calling him from the hotel.
                          
S: I really wanted to say goodbye to him personally.
                          
A: And give him the gift we bought him.
                          
S: I guess we’ll just have to leave it here.
                          
J: Leave what here? (He asked pulling out a chair and sitting down)
                          
A: Jackson!
                          
J: Adam!? (He said teasingly) So why are you so excited to see me?
                          
S: We wanted to have dinner with you because it’s our last night but then the waiter told us that you weren’t here.
                          
J: I needed to go get my favourite customers something to remember the great state of Texas by.
                          
A: We’re happy that you’re here. I tried calling you earlier but your phone was off.
                          
J: Yeah I saw it a while ago it’s because my battery was flat.
                          
A: And we wanted to call you to come here because we wanted to say bye and also give you something.
                          
S: That’s why we weren’t here the whole day because we had some shopping to do and then we had to come back to the hotel and pack.
                          
J: You guys didn’t have to buy me anything.
                          
S: Neither did you but you still bought.
                          
J: I guess we’re even then.
                          
S: Yeah.
                          
Just then the waiter showed up with their drinks.
                          
Waiter: Would you like to order anything now?
                          
A: Yes please, I’ll have the steak and uh... mash.
                          
S: Can I please have the pasta.
                          
Waiter: With which kind of sauce?
                          
S: Uh... I don’t know.
                          
J: Give it to him with the Italian sauce and I’ll have a glass of coke and also give me a plate of mash and steak.
                          
Waiter: Will that be all? (He huffed)
                          
J: I’m fine, guys?
                          
S: That’ll be all for me thank you.
