- Well, the chicken and something to serve on the side.

- How about vegetables and rice?

- Fine. I’ll get some carrots and a package of rice.

- I think we’re out of milk. I’ll get some.

- Oh. And let’s get some eggs for tomorrow morning.

- You’re not supposed to eat so many eggs. It’s not good for you.
