No matter how many girls there were in the world, I always seem to end up with Rory.

The waiters are, wait for this right, they're blind!

Very good to have you here, gentlemen. I hope you enjoy your experience. Carlo will show you to your table.

Oh god, you sound very perky.

Mary is my mother's name actually.

Sort of, although she's sturdy, so Bernard might have been a better fit.

If it wasn't you, who was it?

Yes, and you will stop that right away. Thank you.

I sort of look like a squirrel.

I absolutely love her.

Oh my god. I'm so in there.

What about you?

I don't know, but she sounded wonderful.

How do you fancy stretching the night out a bit?

But, um, help me find a cab and I might give you my number.

Would it be very wrong if I asked you for your number?

I thought this phone was old and shit, but suddenly it's my most valuable possession.

Mary! We have to go. I found a cab, and his dodgy friend is about to assault me.
