The Conversation

Our first night in Utah. We've been traveling, so decide we are tired and want rum and cokes. Lithus googles "bars" and we head to the grill next to the highway. We were barely three steps in when I realize we have made a mistake. Lithus and I are talking about it when a sweet, young hostess comes over, gets reallyclosetous and speaks.

Sweet Young Hostess: "Hi, welcome to the grill next to the highway. Two?"
Lithus: "Do you have a cocktail lounge here?"
SYH: "Do ... we have ... a what?"
Lithus: "Do you have a cocktail lounge here?"
SYH: "Do we have a cocktail lounger?"
Lithus: "No, a cocktail lounge. Here. On site."
SYH: "A cocktail lounger... wellll...there's a bar."
Lithus: "Yes. Excellent. Then yes, two please..."
SYH: "But not here. There's a bar in town."
Lithus: "But not here."
SYH: "Well, it's here. Just not here."

Who's on first?
