　　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!
　　Harry 6: Ha ha ha! Yeah, but c’mon, that’s not funny.
　　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!
