Employee: Hello. Can I take your (1) order?
Customer: Yes. I'd like a large pepperoni pizza with (2)mushrooms and green peppers.
Employee: Would you like anything else?

Customer: Uh, what (3) toppings do you have?
Employee: Well, we have Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, pineapple, black (4)olives, green peppers, bacon, tomatoes, shrimp, clams, and squid.
Customer: Shrimp, clams, and squid!? What kind of pizza is that?
Employee: Uh, the manager spent some time (5)overseas [Oh.], and thinks his new seafood pizza will be a hit with customers, but to be honest, the "Swimmer's Special," as he calls it, is an (6) acquired taste.
Customer: Uh, I'll pass on the "Sink or Swim" special, but I'll have pepperoni and mushrooms on one half and green peppers and Italian sausage on the other. Oh, and could I get extra cheese on that pizza?
Employee: Alright. Would you care for any bread sticks or (7)  beverage with your order? [Well . . . I don't know.] Actually, we have a Friday night special going on right now [Oh!], and if you order any large pizza and drink, we'll throw in a free order of bread sticks, plus a three dollar (8) coupon for use with your next pizza order.
Customer: Huh, sure, why not. And what drink comes with the pizza?

Customer: Uh, yeah, Jay Han.
Employee: Huh? Did you say "Jay Hand"?
Customer: No, it's "Han." Actually, it's a Korean name, but many people have difficulty making it out. Hey, maybe I SHOULD change my name to "Hand."
Employee: Ah, names are important; don't change it. [Okay.] Oh, and your address and telephone number?
Customer: It's 1340 South 16 East, and the phone number is 340-1870 (three-four-zero-eighteen, seventy).
Employee: Okay. Let me repeat your order. A large half-and-half pizza. [Okay.] One half with pepperoni [Yeah.] and mushrooms and the other with Italian sausage and green peppers. [Yeah.] Orange juice and your free order of bread sticks. Jan "Han," not "Hand," [Yeah, that's right.] at 1340 South 16 East, 340-1817. Is that correct?
Customer: Everything (9) except for the phone number. It's 1870, not 1817.
