And here is the wine list, we have this wonderful red Sangiovese, or the crisp white Pinot Grigio.

Oh the Pinot! Wonderful grape. So fresh, so fruity…

CORK POPS. SOUND OF WINE BEING POURED.
GOLDSMITH
Mmmm. Exquisite! Bottle of the Sangiovese please.
LUIGI
But I just opened…
GOLDSMITH
I didn't ask for it. I mean from a legal point of view.
LUIGI
Umm…Si, Signor. It was wrong of me to proceed without PROPER
AUTHORISATION. I order a fresh bottle. Now for starters, smoked salmon or
grilled mushrooms?
GOLDMSMITH
Smoked salmon, please.
LUIGI
You sure Signor?

Completely.
LUIGI
Positive?
GOLDSMITH
One hundred percent.

oregano and parsley to boot.

GOLDSMITH
Yes. Yes I am Luigi.

GOLDMSITH
Please Luigi, watch the suit! I only just got the creases out from last time!
