We would be honored if you would accept our invitation to have dinner with us.

Put our service to the test

Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
Please wear your napkin like this to avoid spilling anything on your outfit.

And we provide the rest
We will take care of everything else.

Soup du jour

Hot hors d'oeuvres
Small, savory appetizers that are served hot.

Why, we only live to serve
Our greatest pleasure is serving you.

Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
We highly recommend the mysterious dish known as the 'grey stuff.'

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes
The enchanted objects in this castle can attest to the deliciousness of the 'grey stuff.'

They can sing
The objects in this castle have been enchanted to sing and dance.

They can dance
The enchanted objects in this castle can not only sing but also dance.

After all, Miss, this is France

Life is so unnerving
Life can be unpredictable and stressful.

For a servant who's not serving
Being an enchanted servant without an assigned task can be frustrating.

He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
For an enchanted servant, their purpose is to serve and they feel incomplete without someone to serve.

Ah, those good old days when we were useful
The enchanted objects reminisce about the time before they were cursed and could perform their intended duties.

Suddenly those good old days are gone
The enchanted objects' good old days are just a memory.

Ten years we've been rusting
The enchanted objects have been cursed and without purpose for a decade, which has caused them to decay.

Needing so much more than dusting
The enchanted objects require more than just a simple cleaning, they need a purpose.

Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
The enchanted objects desire to be used and to demonstrate their abilities.

Most days we just lay around the castle
Without a purpose, the objects spend their days idle and immobile in the castle.

Flabby, fat and lazy
The enchanted objects have become weak and lethargic without purpose or use.

You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
Your arrival has surprised and delighted the enchanted objects, giving them a purpose and chance to serve.

It's a guest
The presence of a guest has given meaning and purpose to the enchanted objects.

Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed
An exclamation of surprise and joy at the arrival of a guest.

Wine's been poured and thank the Lord
The wine has been poured and the enchanted objects are grateful and blessed to have a guest.

I've had the napkins freshly pressed
The napkins have been recently laundered for your use.

With dessert
After the main course is served, it will be time for dessert.

She'll want tea
As per tradition, after dessert, tea will be served.

And my dear that's fine with me
The enchanted teapot doesn't mind that tea will be served.

While the cups do their soft shoeing
The cups will entertain you with their dance routine.

I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
The teapot is excited to be of service and will heat the water for the tea.

I'll get warm, piping hot
The water in the teapot will be hot and ready for the tea.

Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
The enchanted objects take pride in the cleanliness and presentation of the dining experience and ask for any spot to be cleaned.

Clean it up! We want the company impressed
Any blemish or dirt on the tablecloth must be immediately removed to ensure the dining experience is impeccable and impressive.

We've got a lot to do
Preparing and serving a meal to an honored guest is a big responsibility, and the enchanted objects have many tasks to complete.

Is it one lump or two
The enchanted objects want to know how much sugar you prefer in your tea.
