  Olivia: Maybe...
  Harry: But anyway, because we’re friends, I’ll do it for say, seven fifty...?

  Harry: Well, the basic package will be fifteen hundred...
  Fadi: Hmmmm....
  Harry: Then for upgrades7 and maintenance, well, up to two five...
  Fadi: Two thousand five hundred quid?
  Magda: Quid?
  Olivia: Pounds.
  Fadi: You don’t come cheap, do you Harry?
  Harry: I’m good at my job.
  Fadi: I’ll have to have a word with my uncle...see if I can clear it with him. I’ll get back to you.
