  Transcript
  Fadi: Morning Olivia!
  Olivia: Hello there!
  Fadi: Do you live here?
  Olivia: How do you mean?
  Fadi: It’s just that every time I come in here, you’re here...it’s like you live here or something...
  Olivia: Just taking a break that’s all...
  Fadi: You’re always taking a break.
  Olivia: Well my shop’s next door, so it’s so easy just to pop in here when things are quiet...
  Fadi: Where’s the little thief today?
  Olivia: Who? Oh! You mean my little nephew Joe...
  Fadi: Exactly...the sweet little pest!
  Olivia: He’s with his mum, my sister, today, you’ll be relieved to know.
  Fadi: Has Harry6 been in today?
  Olivia: He dropped by the shop before. Said he might pop in here later for a coffee.
  Fadi: I think he’s angry with me, perhaps I should avoid him for a bit.
  Olivia: Why’s he angry with you?
  Fadi: Oh, you know, we argued about money – he was going to do that job for me...
  Olivia: Oh yeah, but don’t worry. I’m sure he’s not really angry. And even if he is, he’ll soon forget it. You know what he’s like!
  Fadi: Yeah, I guess so. I’ll just let it drop.
  Fadi and Olivia: Hi there!
  Sarah and Magda: Hello
  Fadi: Cheer up! What’s up with you two?
  Sarah: Just the usual...
  Olivia: How’s the flat-hunting going Sarah?
  Sarah: Still nothing. I really need somewhere to live. I’m getting desperate. I’ll end up homeless if things don’t get better!
  Olivia: Oh come on, it’s not that bad...
  Sarah: No, of course it’s not, but...it’s so difficult to find a place...
  Fadi: I’m glad you showed up – I wanted to talk to you about that...
  Sarah: Oh yeah?
  Fadi: Yeah - I’ve heard of something that might interest you...
  Sarah: Great! What is it?
  Fadi: A cousin of mine has a spare room in his house.
  Olivia: A cousin of yours...how many people are there in your family...?
  Fadi: A lot!
  Sarah: That sounds good...can I look at the flat?
  Fadi: I’ll call him now.
  Olivia: Are you sure about moving in there?
  Sarah: Look, I really need a place, urgently, and it’ll be ok, I’m sure...
  Olivia: Lots of opportunities to see Fadi....
  Sarah: You are such a terrible gossip!
  Johnny: There’s Fadi, always stuck to that phone, always working...or perhaps it’s girls!
  Olivia: Actually, he’s helping7 Sarah to find a flat.
  Johnny: Oh. Ok. Good. Well hello! What’s up? Why does everyone look so glum here?
  Sarah: I’m still trying to find a flat...
  Magda: And I finish my degree soon, which means I have to get a job, or go back to Poland.
  Johnny: And you want to stay here in London?
  Magda: Yeah, but it’s so difficult to get a job.
  Olivia: That’s not true, there are lots of jobs around...
  Magda: Yes, but I don’t want to just work in a bar or a café or a shop...
  Olivia: Oh thanks!
  Magda: Sorry! I know you work in a shop, but...that’s different..it’s your own shop, and you sell such special things, those lovely handmade shoes! But usually, you know, shopwork isn’t great..
  Olivia: Tell me about it...
  Sarah: But you’ll be a trained architect, won’t you?
  Magda: Yes, exactly...but it’s not easy to get work as an architect. There’s a lot of competition here in London
  Johnny: You should go to China...lots of opportunities there right now, lots of building.
  Fadi: Listen, Sarah, I spoke8 to my cousin and we can go round to have a look at the flat this afternoon if you like...
  Sarah: “We”?
  Fadi: Well, I’ll go with you, show you where it is...
  Sarah: Erm, ok...Thanks!
  Olivia: Told you so!
  Magda: Well you might have solved your problem then...but I might not be here much longer!
