Nathan: While you were in the bathroom, the other guys left.
Bethany: In that case, I should go, too. It’s getting late.
Nathan: The night is young. Let me get you a Refill.
Bethany: No, I really shouldn’t have another drink. I had a Neat drink after dinner and I’m still feeling the effects. I’m a Lightweight and I’m not normally a Drinker.
Nathan: What’s the harm? Have One for the road. I’ll serve this one Straight up and with a Twist of lemon. It’s my Specialty. I could also Mix you a Cocktail, if you prefer. Consider it a Nightcap.
Bethany: No, I really shouldn’t.
Nathan: All right, I’ll just Top off that drink in your hand.
Bethany: No, it’s late, I’m tired, and I have to go.
Nathan: Don’t Rush off. You wouldn’t want to get a Reputation for being a Spoilsport, would you?
