  1. Them

    Will that be one bill or separate?

  2. You

    Separate, please. Can we split it three ways?

  3. Them

    Of course. Equally, or by what each person had?

  4. You

    Equally is easier for everyone.

  5. Them

    No problem. That's twenty-six each.

  6. You

    Can we each pay by card?

  7. Them

    Yes, I'll bring the machine around.

  8. You

    Great, thanks for making it easy.
