An Bhfuil Sibh Réidh?

For those wondering what the difference is between ‘tá’ and ‘is’.
Tá cúigear Sasanach ag tabhairt cuirt a chéaduair le chéile sa teach tábhairne agus cleachtadh a nGaeilge.

Tom: Cé thusa?
Ray: Who, sir?
Will: Tú, sir. Cé thusa?
Ray: Ó mise? Is mise Ray. Beidh mé ag ól.
Tom: An bhfuil tú ag ól too?
Will: Táim.
Tom: An’ea?
Will: An bhfuil tú réidh?
Tom: Níl, is mise Tom.
Will: Ní mise Neil. is mise Will. Agus an bhfuil tú?
Tom: Ní hea. Tom. Nach bhfuil tú réidh ag ól?
Ray: Táim
Neil: Is mise Neil. Agus seo í mo bhean chéile, Kay.
Tom: Cé?
Neil: S’ea. An bhfuil sibh réidh ag ól?
Will: Taim réidh.
Ray: Taim.
Tom: Níl.
Níl: Cé?
Kay: Níl mé cinnte.

Don't think that this is good Irish.... haha. In fact, find all the terrible mistakes in this dialogue and win a *prize!...

*[prize not available in all areas. some restrictions apply. prize has no intrinsic monetary value or external physicality and may appear to be nothing. prize may be redeemed for feeling of smug satisfaction.]
