As I attempt to conquer the Land Down Under, here a few more snippets of my conversations with the natives. I obviously have to grasp their language if I want to satisfy the worms inside my stomach.
Scene 1:
ATTENDANT: So you want value meal number 1?
DEXTER: That is right but do you have root beer?
ATTENDANT: I am sorry but we do not serve alcohol here.
Scene 2:
DEXTER: Do you have tow-may-tows in your Aussie burger?
PETER: You are in Australia, Dexter, so they are called tow-mah-tows.
Scene 3:
DEXTER: The waiter forgot to give me some ketchup for these fries.
PETER: We do not usually serve tow-mah-tow sauce with our CHIPS.
Scene 4:
ATTENDANT: What would you like to order?
FRIEND: A feel-let (fillet) please.
ME (thinking): I wonder how you guys pronounce the dance.
