M: Yes, of course!We all like beer, but I think this time we'd better have some table wine, don't you? W: Yes, you are right. We do need table wine for the steaks. M: I think I would prefer the California Rose. W: That's good for steaks. What else do you want to buy? M: A carton of cigarettes. W: Oh, my God! Why do you want to smoke so much? M: No, it's not for me. It's for Mr Chen and his friends tonight. W: That makes me feel better but anyway cigarettes are terrible for health. M: I know. I'm quitting them.
