"Yes, we're a couple. What comes with it?"
"It comes with a soup and a main dish and one of our house made drinks."
"We'll both have the ginger miso soup and she'll have the curried tofu and vegetables. I'll have the mac and cheese with tofu please."
"Sure thing. What to drink?"
"We'll have strawberry lemonade."

"She loves me, don't worry."
"You know what, your meal is on the house."
"Wow, thank you so much."
"Thank you."
"It's no problem. Have a seat and someone will bring your food out shortly."
"Come on baby, let's sit."
"I'm literally going to kill you."
"Then have fun not sleeping for the rest of your life."
"You're so mean."
"You love me, baby."
"Repulsive."
"No need to lie. I know I'm the hottest thing you've ever seen."
"That's true."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Wait, did I say that out loud?"
"..."
"Stop laughing! I didn't mean it!"
"That blush says otherwise."
"I seriously hate you."
"Don't fret, spaceling. I think you're pretty hot too."
