Waitress: How would you like your steak done, miss?
Amber: Well-done, please.
Waitress: O.K., would you like any appetizers to start with?
Jason: I think we're fine right now, although we do want to try your house wine.
Waitress: O.K. So a well-done T-bone steak for the lady and smoked trout for the gentleman, and a bottle of house wine. Anything else?
Jason: No, that's all. Thank you, Lisa.
