Charlie Johnson : Please! I'm around them all day. I didn't mean... It was... I'm a vet.
Grace Briggs : ...and a corn beef and cabbage souffle and a spinach ravioli in arrabiatta sauce which is my favorite.
Bob Rueland : I'll have that.
Marsha : That sounds so fattening.
Bob Rueland : Well, just order something else.
Marsha : Well, is every dish here cooked in oil?
Grace Briggs : No, some we boil in Swiss water.

Grace Briggs : Good evening.
Marsha : Oh, no no no no no no no. Do you have bottled water?
Grace Briggs : Sure. Anyone else?
Charlie Johnson : May I have a wine list please?
Grace Briggs : Sure.
Bob Rueland : Do we know each other?
Grace Briggs : Uh, I think so. You been in here before?
Bob Rueland : No, I think I'd remember an Irish-Italian restaurant.
Grace Briggs : Uh, yeah. You would.
Marsha : Oh, my gah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. My water? I don't want a Swiss water. I got sick on an imported Swiss water once. Do you remember that night?
Shari : Oh, that was awful.
Charlie Johnson : You were there?
Marsha : Do you remember that? Horrible! As long as it's not Swiss or tap water, it'll be fine. Preferably French, no bubbles. I want it cold. No ice, no glass. Just a bottle and a straw. Do you want to write it down? I don't want Swiss water. I got sick once.
Shari : It was really bad.
Grace Briggs : I'm pretty sure I got it.
Bob Rueland : I'm sorry. Can I get a cup of coffee?
Grace Briggs : Sure.
Bob Rueland : No straw.

Bob Rueland : Oh, I bet that's refreshing.
Marsha : Oh, such a difference.
Grace Briggs : Here you go.
Marsha : It's about time!
