   No. I’ve got nothing liable to duty.

Mr Jones: I wish they’d use English in menus?
Petrov: Personally, I prefer good, simple English cooking.
Mr Jones: Mr Petrov, what will you have?
Petrov: I can’t see it on the menu but I think I’ll have a steak and chips.
Mr Jones: And so will 1. Do you want soup first?
Petrov: Yes.
Waiter: May 1 take your order, sir? (Mr Jones orders food and drinks.)
(After dinner.)
Petrov: Thank you for a very enjoyable evening. It was a wonderful meal in spite of the menu.
E. In a Pub
Mr Dodd: Shall we have a snack lunch in a pub for a change? There are a lot of interesting pubs round here.
Petrov: That’s a good idea. I haven’t been to any pub yet.
Mr Dodd: What about this one?
(In the pub.)
Petrov: It must be very old.
Mr Dodd: Over a hundred and fifty years, I think. It was mentioned by Dickens in one of his novels. He himself used to have lunch here. I like it because there are not many people here at lunch time. Now what would you like to drink? Bitter? That's a strong beer.
Petrov: Yes, please, if that's what you drink; but let me order it. (To the waiter.) Two pints of bitter, please.
Waiter: Anything to eat, sir?
Petrov: Just a snack. What can you offer us?

F. At the Dentist’s
Doctor: What’s the trouble?
Volkov: I have a filling which is loose and I also have an awful pain in my lower tooth on the right.
Doctor: Let's have a look at the filling. Open your mouth wide. That’s it. Yes, it’s about to drop out. Now let’s see the bad tooth. Is it sensitive to heat and cold?
Volkov: Yes, very. I haven’t had anything hot to eat or drink for the last three days.
Doctor: That’s too bad. You should have come for a checkup long ago, I think it's been hurting you for quite a while. We’d better have it X-rayed.
(The doctor has the tooth X-rayed and then he examines the pictures.)
Doctor: I’m afraid I’ll have to pull it out.
Volkov: Do you mean you’ll pull it out now?
Doctor: Yes, certainly. We'll start with the filling and then I’ll pull the bad tooth out. Don’t worry. Everything’ll be OK.
Volkov: That’s all right. Doctor.
Notes

1. 
   Come this way, sir. Пройдите сюда, сэр.
   
2. 
   I wish they’d (they would) use English in menus. Лучше бы они писали меню на английском языке. (Жаль, что в меню не используется анг­лийский язык.)
