Audio script
Johnny: Hey, guys! Did you hear about Magda?
All: No.
Johnny: She won a prize for her architecture!
All: That’s great!
Johnny: ... but it turned out she’d only designed the
door handles for the winning building!
She’s really talented! It’s a great place to start.
Johnny: What? Do you fancy her or something?
Harry: No! Get out of here! I’m just being nice.
Fadi: Yeah, Johnny, come on ...
Johnny: Guys! I’m only joking – good on her, really!
Talking of girlfriends ...
All: Yeah?
Johnny: I hear you’ve been going out with Olivia,
Fadi!
Fadi: OK, yeah, just once or twice, though. She’s
really nice.
Harry: Are you going to see her again?
Fadi: Probably – she’s in this café every day!
Harry: You know what I mean! Are you going to go
out with her again?
Fadi: Oh ... I don’t know ... maybe ... Anyway – let’s
change the subject: what about you and Bindyu?
Harry: Yeah. It’s good, y’know, we’re really different
as people, but we get on pretty well actually.
All: Carlos!
Carlos: Hello there, guys! Only you lot today?
Johnny: Looks like it. Don’t know where all the girls
are today ...
Fadi: Gone shopping, probably.
Carlos: I think those girls have more interests than
just shopping. They’re a pretty intelligent bunch of
people!
Harry: That’s true actually. They’re all more
successful than we are!
Johnny: Hey! Speak for yourself! I’m very
successful!
All: (laugh)
Harry: In that case, Johnny – you should buy us all a
coffee!
Johnny: OK, then! Tony – a cappuccino for
everyone, please!
Tony: All right, all right ...
Harry: So, Carlos, we were just talking about
girlfriends.
Fadi: Wait, Harry – you were talking about girlfriends.
Harry. Whatever! Have you seen Sarah again,
Carlos?
Carlos: Yeah. It was difficult at first – we’re quite
different people.
Harry: Tell me about it ...!
Carlos: But we both like cinema, and cooking - so
we go out to see a movie, then go and get something
to eat somewhere. It’s good.
Harry: Nothing more?
Carlos: Well, no ... I’m taking it slowly. I’m a bit fed
up with my job here, y’know, thinking about maybe
giving it up and going back to Brazil.
Fadi: Really? Wow, well, we’d be sorry to see you go!
Harry: Yeah – we’d miss you!
Carlos: What about you and Bindyu, Harry?
Harry: Well, I was just telling the guys, we’re getting
on really well. I’m even … I mean ... I’ve thought
about ...
All: What?
Harry: Asking her to marry me!
All: No!!!!!!!
Harry: Well, only, y’know, like ... maybe ... just a
thought ...
Johnny: Blimey – Tony – I think we’ll need those
coffees extra strong!
