Audio script
Olivia: Oh no! I don’t understand how this can
happen!
Tony: Told you so.
Sarah: Hi Olivia! What’s the problem?
Carlos: Excuse me...
Olivia: It’s not just here, not just the café...
Sarah: What do you mean?
Tony: Told you so.
Carlos: Excuse me...
Olivia: It’s true!
Sarah: What is?
Olivia: They want to knock down my shop, as
well as the café!
Sarah: Demolish it? Get rid of it completely?
Olivia: Yes
Tony: Told you so.
Sarah: Oh no!
Olivia: That’s what I keep saying...
Carlos: Excuse me!
Tony: Yes?
Carlos: Could I have something to eat please,
and a cup of tea?
Tony: Sure, here’s a menu, go and take a seat
somewhere...
Sarah: Oh dear...let’s go and sit down – there’s
Harry 4 over there, let’s sit with him.
Harry: Hello there. Magda’s on her way. I think
we need to have a plan...
Olivia: Yeah, but what can we do?
All: Hey Magda! Hi! We’re over here! Come and
sit down!
Magda: Hello everyone! What’s the
matter? Why does everyone look so sad?
Harry: The café is going to close...
Sarah: ...and Olivia’s shop too!
Magda: Why? Oh - the property company...
they’re building new flats... I remember now...
Harry: That’s right – and they want to demolish
this place, and Olivia’s shop next door.
Olivia: They’re offering us compensation...
Magda: “Compensation”?
Sarah: Money...
Olivia: But it’s not enough. I want to keep my
shop...
Sarah: Yes, and I want to keep this café open...
there’s nowhere else where we can all meet.
Carlos: Excuse me...
All: Yes?
Carlos: I couldn’t help overhearing your
conversation...
Magda: Were you listening to us?
Carlos: No, sorry, I wasn’t listening, I just heard
what you were talking about...
Olivia: Is this the first time you’ve been here?
Carlos: Well, yes it is, actually...
Harry: It’ll probably be the last...
Carlos: Well, yes, I know...that’s what I wanted
to say...
Sarah: What?
Carlos: I’m afraid I work for the company, the
building company.
Olivia: The company who want to knock down
my shop?
Harry: And our favourite café?
Carlos: I’m afraid so, yes...
Olivia: Can you stop them?
Carlos: Well, no, I’m not sure about that...
Sarah: What do you do for the company?
Carlos: Well, that’s the problem; I’m not one of
their top managers, or anything like that...
Harry: That’s a shame.
Carlos: I’m just the caterer.
Magda: Caterer?
Carlos: Yes, I make food for them.
Harry: Hang on a minute, I don’t
understand...you’re the caterer...you make
food...
Carlos: Yes, that’s right. I’m a chef, actually. Or
at least that’s what I’d like to be...
Harry: But you’ve just come in here to get
food...
Carlos: Oh yeah...well, you see, the problem is,
I don’t really like the food I have to cook for
other people. I prefer to try new things – so I
came in here!
Harry: Right...
Olivia: Can you help us?
Carlos: I’m not sure what I can do...I don’t really
want to lose my job...
Sarah: No...I guess not – but if you work for the
building company, you could do some research
for us...
Carlos: Research? How do you mean?
Sarah: You could find out some information for
us...
Carlos: Erm, well, ok, I mean, if I can...I’d like to
help you!
Olivia: Great! Let’s see what we can do... we
can save this place!
