ORDERING FOOD IN A RESTAURANT

Leonidez: Hey, this is a great menu.
Cristina: Yeah, I know. So, do you want soup or...?
Leonidez: I don't Know. There are a lot of interesting fish dishes.
Cristina: Well, they have some of that spanish soup-gazpacho-cucumber, and bread. It comes with bread.
Leonidez : Hmm. Well it's not hot, but it sounds good.
Waiter: So, can I take your order? What would you like?
Cristina. I'll have a chicken sandwich and some coffee.
Leonidez: And I'd like to start with some gazpacho... and then I want that fish with rice, some potato, salad, ice tea... and some cheese cake.
Cristina: Hey, you said you didn't want a big meal.
Leonidez: I did, but everything looks so good... wait, where's my wallet?.. oh no.
I left my wallet at the office. I only have five dollars in my pocket! Excuse me.
Waiter: Yes, would you like something else?
Leonidez: Can I change my order? I'd just like some that soup gazpacho with, oh, a lot of bread and butter.
