Olivia: A grand!
Magda: Whats a grand??
Olivia: A thousand pounds.
Magda: Phew! That sounds like a lot...
Olivia: It is!
Harry: It isnt really...thats what these things cost now...if you take into account the work Ill have to put into it, and all my time...
Olivia: Maybe...
Harry: But anyway, because were friends, Ill do it for say, seven fifty...?

Sarah: I know, Im not sure Ill be able to afford it...
Olivia: Tell me about it!
Sarah: About what?
Olivia: Sorry...I just mean, I know how expensive life is!
Sarah: Whys that?
Magda: Olivia wants Harry to set up a website for her, but hes asked for loads of money!
Fadi: Yeah...me too!
Magda: I think hes greedy.
Fadi: Im not sure about that...hes a professional after all. Hes right to ask a reasonable amount for his work.
Olivia: Youre just like him, I can see...only interested in money!
Magda: Yeah, thats right...
Fadi: Leave off...Im not only interested in money. I like football too...
Olivia: I dont think I can afford it, but I dont know how to say no without offending him now.
Sarah: Do you think hell be offended?
Olivia: Perhaps...
Fadi: I shouldnt worry. Hes not a very sensitive guy, is he?
Olivia: No! I like him, though...
Fadi: Oh yeah?
Olivia: Not in that way...hes just a friend...
Fadi: Just a friend, eh?
Olivia: Are you jealous?
Fadi: Get out of here! Course Im not. Ive got lots of girlfriends...
Magda: And they only ever last for two weeks!
Fadi: I like to keep them keen!
Sarah: Oh yeah, sure...
Fadi: Listen, Olivia, if it makes it easier for you, I think Im going to take Harry up on his offer. Ill get him to do some work for me, then it wont matter if you turn him down.
Sarah: I do some work for a website, Olivia. Its called DimSum.co.uk its for the Chinese community in Britain. I could find out who does their website they might be cheaper.
Olivia: Could you do that for me? Id be really grateful.
Sarah: Sure, no problem.
Olivia: And well try and help you find a flat!
Sarah: Thanks!
Magda: How long have you got before you have to move out?
Sarah: Only a month.
Magda: Thats not long.
Fadi: Ill ask around, see if anyone I know has a room free in their house...
Magda: Ill do the same thing...
Olivia: Me too!
Magda: Ok everyone...we have a mission!
Fadi: Find Sarah a place to live!
Olivia: And tell Harry hes greedy!
Sarah: I think this might be difficult....

Olivia: I wouldnt want to overwork you!
Harry: Well see, eh?
Olivia: OK, but dont lose any sleep over it.
All: Hi Sarah!
Johnny: Hows the flat-hunting going?
Sarah: Oooooppphhhh....Im exhausted. Ive been going round the city all day, looking at flats.
Olivia: And no success?
Sarah: No success at all.
Harry: Whats the problem?
Sarah: Theyre all too small, or too dark, or too far away, or too expensive, or there are weird flatmates...
Harry: Youll have to compromise at some point....
Sarah: Yeah, I guess so, but I dont want to live in a complete dump, and it seems that I cant afford much more.
Fadi: Hello all!
All: Hi Fadi!
Harry: Hows it going mate?
Fadi: Im fine here, but why are you lot all looking so glum?
Olivia: Sarah still cant find a place to live.

Magda: Nephew?
Olivia: My sisters son.
Magda: Oh! I see. Hes lovely! I love children...
Olivia: Yeah, theyre great until you have to look after them...
Magda: Youre looking after him?
Olivia: Yeah, just for today, fortunately. My sister cant get a babysitter. But Joe comes to my shop quite often. He loves it there...unfortunately!
Magda: Whys that unfortunate?
Olivia: Because hes a pest, thats why...
Magda: Whats a pest?
Olivia: Somebody or something which makes you angry...
Magda: No!! I dont believe it! Hes so sweet! How old is he?
Olivia: Four, nearly five.
Fadi: Whoooaaaa! Slow down there, little man! Whos this?
Olivia: Fadi, meet Joe.
Magda: Hes Olivias nephew. And a sweet little pest!
Fadi: Oh really! I didnt know you were Aunt Olivia!
Olivia: Thank you very much Fadi. You make me feel old. Listen, have you had a chat with Harry yet?
Fadi: About work?
Olivia: Yeah.
Fadi: No, not yet, but Im supposed to talk to him today. He said hed be in here later.
Olivia: Listen, though, its not true what Harry was saying...
Fadi: About what?
Olivia: About me being upset if he cant do the website for my shop...I dont mind if he cant do it! He wanted far too much money. I could never have afforded it. Now its ok, because he thinks hes turning me down...I dont have to offend him by saying no! A happy result all round!
Fadi: I see...so I dont have to bail you out, after all?
Olivia: No!
Olivia: Joe, can you stop that please? Come over here!
Fadi: ...and here he is!
Harry: Alright mate! Alright Olivia, Magda...whos this young man?
Olivia: My nephew, Joe.
Harry: Hello Joe!

Harry: So, Fadi, you wanted to talk business?
Fadi: Yeah, finally...well, Ive got the all clear from my uncle, so were on.
Harry: Great.
Fadi: But...
Harry: Theres always a but!
Fadi: Youre going to have to do us a favour and come down on the price, mate...
Harry: What price did I quote you?
Fadi: Two thousand five hundred.
Harry: Well, seeing as youre a friend, I could come down to two thousand four hundred, but not less than that.
Fadi: We can offer two thousand. Thats our top limit. We dont have a bigger budget than that.
Harry: Come on! Youre joking!
Fadi: Sorry mate. Its two thousand, or nothing.
Harry: No way. Cant be done. Ive got to go now...got to go and see Johnny hes offered me a real job...bye all!
Fadi: Oh no, do you think hes really upset now?
Olivia: I dont think upset is the word....
Fadi: We can go a bit higher actually...I was just trying to be a tough negotiator.
Magda: A bit too tough, I think.
Olivia: You should never mix work and friendship, anyway.
Magda: And you probably shouldnt have a business meeting in a caf!
Fadi: Oh no. What a mess. Id better go. Hang on..wheres my...where are my....I cant find my mobile! Or my keys! Has anyone seen them?
Magda: Lets look under the seats...they must be here somewhere...

Fadi: Its just that every time I come in here, youre here...its like you live here or something...
Olivia: Just taking a break thats all...
Fadi: Youre always taking a break.
Olivia: Well my shops next door, so its so easy just to pop in here when things are quiet...
Fadi: Wheres the little thief today?
Olivia: Who? Oh! You mean my little nephew Joe...
Fadi: Exactly...the sweet little pest!
Olivia: Hes with his mum, my sister, today, youll be relieved to know.
Fadi: Has Harry been in today?
Olivia: He dropped by the shop before. Said he might pop in here later for a coffee.
Fadi: I think hes angry with me, perhaps I should avoid him for a bit.
Olivia: Whys 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 dont worry. Im sure hes not really angry. And even if he is, hell soon forget it. You know what hes like!
Fadi: Yeah, I guess so. Ill just let it drop.
Fadi and Olivia: Hi there!
Sarah and Magda: Hello
Fadi: Cheer up! Whats up with you two?
Sarah: Just the usual...
Olivia: Hows the flat-hunting going Sarah?
Sarah: Still nothing. I really need somewhere to live. Im getting desperate. Ill end up homeless if things dont get better!
Olivia: Oh come on, its not that bad...
Sarah: No, of course its not, but...its so difficult to find a place...
Fadi: Im glad you showed up I wanted to talk to you about that...
Sarah: Oh yeah?
Fadi: Yeah - Ive heard of something that might interest you...

Sarah: That sounds good...can I look at the flat?
Fadi: Ill call him now.

Sarah: You are such a terrible gossip!
Johnny: Theres Fadi, always stuck to that phone, always working...or perhaps its girls!
Olivia: Actually, hes helping Sarah to find a flat.
Johnny: Oh. Ok. Good. Well hello! Whats up? Why does everyone look so glum here?
Sarah: Im 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 its so difficult to get a job.
Olivia: Thats not true, there are lots of jobs around...
Magda: Yes, but I dont want to just work in a bar or a caf or a shop...
Olivia: Oh thanks!
Magda: Sorry! I know you work in a shop, but...thats different..its your own shop, and you sell such special things, those lovely handmade shoes! But usually, you know, shopwork isnt great..
Olivia: Tell me about it...
Sarah: But youll be a trained architect, wont you?
Magda: Yes, exactly...but its not easy to get work as an architect. Theres 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 spoke to my cousin and we can go round to have a look at the flat this afternoon if you like...
Sarah: We?
Fadi: Well, Ill go with you, show you where it is...

Hes working with me, not for me...theres a very big difference!Magda:Whats that?Johnny:Well, if he was working for me, that means Id be his boss!

What do you do, talk about football all the time?Johnny:No! We dont even work in the same office!Magda:Sorry, only joking...I didnt mean to be rude, but I think its a good idea to keep friends and work separate...Sarah:Mmm, I agree...Johnny:You could be right but we dont actually work together closely. Its a big company you know, and Harry works on the IT side. Im at the front of the operation searching out opportunities, winning contracts, clinching deals...Magda:Alright for you then!Johnny:Ill be rich in three years...Magda:Thats what you always say!

Johnny: Oh sure, yeah, I remember. Yes, good idea Ill give you some tips. Itll help take my mind off this injury...So, interviews, well, first thing make sure you dress smartly.
Magda: How do you mean smartly?
Johnny: Well, wear a suit...a grey one...
Magda: A womans suit?
Johnny: Yeah.you know the kind of thing, skirt and a jacket...
Magda: Ok...
Sarah: Erm, Im not sure thats always right, though...it depends on the company, surely.
Magda: How do you mean?
Sarah: Well, if youre going to a company where everybody wears smart suits like the kind of people Johnny works with then, yeah, you should wear a suit. But if the company youre applying to isnt the kind of company where everyone wears suits all the time...
Olivia: Where people dress more casually...
Sarah: Exactly...you dont want to look overdressed, too formal...
Magda: No, I guess not...
Olivia: You just need to look like you fit in!
Johnny: Yeah, thats good advice. But you have to know first, and thats the second thing I wanted to say research the company! Find out as much about them as you can! Dont let them ask all the questions...
Sarah: Yes, thats right they always give you a chance to ask a question, so ask an intelligent question!
Johnny: Just one or two questions are enough, no more than that.
Sarah: Yeah, to make you sound interested, and look interested...
Johnny: Precisely look interested. Body language. Its really important. Make sure you lookthe interviewers in the eyes....
Sarah: But dont stare at them!
Magda: No.
Johnny: But show youre confident, and you know what youre talking about...
Magda: Thats the problem...Im not sure that I do!
Johnny: Oh, and dont be late for the interview! Plan to get there early.
Magda: So much advice, so much to think about...its making me more nervous, not less!
Olivia: Oh dear...
Sarah: Dont worry, thats the important thing. Relax and enjoy it! Whats that?
Olivia: Oh, I forgot to tell you all my nephew Joe is here again today...
Fadi: I remember Joe...hes the little boy whos always exactly!
Olivia: Joe! Slow down please! Joe! Please be careful!

Harry: I dont know what to do...I want to say no, but Im afraid Ill lose the job...
Olivia: Youll have to think carefully about it!
Magda: Or youll be trying to do an internship again!!! Only joking! It can be important to do an internship if you want to get experience things to put on your CV...
Harry: Yeah, I guess youre right, but Im past that stage...Ive got lots of experience now.
Magda: Im really worried though, about my first day, really nervous. I might be terrible!
Olivia: Dont worry Magda, youll be great. Show them how good you are in the first month and theyll be offering you more money by the second month!
Magda: Lets hope so!
Harry: What are you going to be doing exactly?
Magda: Well, its a lot of admin work..but I do get a chance to work with the senior partners on some designs.
Harry: Great...What is it you do again?
Olivia: Harry! How come you always forget this stuff?
Magda: Architecture! Im an architect! I design buildings!
Harry: Oh yeah, right, of course...
Sarah: Shes a good one too, Harry Ive seen some of her drawings. I keep on telling her that she should go to China there are lots of opportunities there at the moment.
Magda: Maybe, one day. Thatd be really interesting...How are you, Sarah?
Sarah: OK...
Harry: Hows the new flat?
Sarah: Thats the problem...
Olivia: Oh no! Youve only just moved in!
Magda: I thought the flat was great...
Sarah: The flat is nice, but the problem is the landlord...
Olivia: Isnt that Fadis cousin?
Sarah: Yes, exactly...but hes really intrusive.
Magda: Intrusive?
Sarah: He comes round all the time, wants to know everything about me. I think that if I pay rent, thats it, I shouldnt have to tell him anything else.
Olivia: I see...thats not on, is it? Have you mentioned it to Fadi?
Sarah: No, I dont know how to. He was so kind helping me get the place. I dont want to seem rude.
Olivia: Would you like me to have a word with him?
Sarah: Could you? Thatd be really great. Id really appreciate it.
Olivia: Ill say something the next time I see him! Promise!
