“This is a lovely restaurant. Thank you for asking me out.”

“Food good.”

“Yes, it is delicious. Did you see the debate last night? What did you think?”

“Food good.”

“Yes, we established that. Do you have an opinion on the upcoming election?

“Food good.”

“Alright, we don’t have to talk about politics. What kind of music do you like?”

“Food good.”

“I’m sorry, Frankenstein. I don’t think this is working. I am going to go now.”

“Food good.”
