Ted gestures to the waiter. The waiter comes.

Ted: May I have the bill, please?

Meg: Let’s go Dutch this time.

Ted: No. We made a deal.

You are my guest this time.

Next time we’ll go Dutch.

Meg: But, Ted …

Waiter (smiling): Actually … you don’t need the bill.

Ted & Meg: Why?

Waiter: Well, the lady is our restaurant’s thousandth customer,

so your meals are on the house!

Meg: What a surprise!

Ted: With this kind of luck, we should buy some lottery tickets on our way home.
