We go to a beer bar after the drug store. She says she wants to pop into some other store and so I say "Fine, I'll be at the bar."
I go in sit down and think, well, here I can try out some German myself. The bartender comes over and I, trying to show off because I am peeved at Julia just ripping out all these languages, try to order a dark beer in German. I repeat the phrase over and over. The bartender has no clue what I am saying. I am thinking I must be murdering this language. Finally, I give up and say in English, "I'd like a dark beer, please." and the bartender says to me "Well, why didn't you just say so." in perfect English with a German accent. I feel defeated. However, the beer arrives to cheer me up and then these guys in lederhosen sitting next to me say "So, you are an American?"
