me: hello, ____________?
dude: hi. i'd like to make a reservation for saturday night.
me: ok, how many people were you thinking?
dude: just two of us.
me: oh, i'm sorry, we don't take reservations for under 5 people.
dude: (annoyed pause) oh, really?
me: yeah, i'm really sorry.
dude: oh c'mon, can't you do something for me? i'm a really nice guy.
me: (laughs awkwardly) i'm sure you are. there are plenty of nice guys out there!
dude: yeah, but i'm the genuine article. can't you make an exception?
me: (quickly losing patience) i really can't do anything for you.
dude: but gee, i really hate waiting...
me: that's a shame. you have a good night now.
