“I' like to book a table for Friday please”.
“Certainly, madam. For how many people?”
“What time would you like, madam”?
“That's Fine”.
“Could I take your name, please madam?”
“We look forward to seeing you”

People stress things variably according to circumstances and personal style, but here's a first quick and slightly incomplete suggestion, with @ being accentuated and * being optionally so - I'd l@ike/like to b@ook a t@able for Fr@iday pl*ease/Friday pl@ease. C@ertainly, m@adam. For h@ow m*any p@eople?

Thank you meteorquake, this is very helpful. Do you have any idea about the intonation of the sentences?

Hello! Well I'm not sure I could give anything than my own way of speaking it, which will differ from my neighbour's, and even myself at a different time, as speech is quite an individual thing and the music of a sentence will depend on where you're from, who you are, your mood and details of the circumstances... perhaps others have some suggestions here though...
