Episode 40: Get dumped

Carlos: Listen Sarah, I just don’t get what the problem is...I’m only helping out here in the café, it’ll only be for a bit, Tony’ll be back next week...

Sarah: I just thought you wanted more than to make sandwiches in a little café...

Carlos: It’s quite a nice café!

Sarah: Well, yeah, I know it is, I mean it’s a good place for us all to meet up and hang out, but, well, you know..I thought you wanted to own a proper restaurant...

Carlos: I do!

Sarah: And when’s that going to happen?

Carlos: I ...I don’t really know...when I’ve got enough money...

Sarah: And when will that be?

Carlos: Don’t really know...soon – I hope!

Sarah: Well, let me know when it happens!

Carlos: Sarah – I’m not sure what you mean....

Sarah: I just, I just think perhaps we should take it easy for a bit, maybe stop seeing each other for a while...

Carlos: Oh, well...ok...I guess...whatever...

Sarah: Bye now...I’ll see you around, ok?

Fadi: Hi Carlos!

Carlos: Hello there.

Fadi: What’s up mate?

Carlos: Oh...nothing...

Fadi: Don’t believe you...go on!

Carlos: I’m just a bit fed up of working here...

Fadi: Well, Tony’s back next week, isn’t he?

Carlos: Yeah...that’s not all...

Fadi: What else?

Carlos: Sarah doesn’t want to go out with me anymore.

Fadi: Oh...sorry to hear that...well, never mind...perhaps you’ll make it up...

Carlos: Yeah. Maybe. Hope so.

Fadi: Olivia! Hi! Just the girl I wanted to see...

Olivia: Why’s that?

Fadi: Well, a couple of reasons...

Olivia: Go on...

Fadi: First, you know the business me and Harry and Johnny are starting...

Olivia: “FindLondon”? The tourist help service?

Fadi: Yeah...that’s it...well, we need some more capital...I wondered if you wanted to be in on it...

Olivia: Thanks, but no thanks...like I already said Fadi, I’ve got enough to do running my own business!

Fadi: Ok, fair enough.

Olivia: What was the other thing?

Fadi: Oh, yeah...I was wondering if you wanted to come out on Friday night? Go see a movie, go for a drink maybe...

Olivia: Oh...thanks, Fadi, but it’ll have to be a no on that one too – I’m looking after Joe on Friday...

Fadi: Joe your nephew? Oh...he’s always around, isn’t he?

Olivia: Family is important, Fadi!

Fadi: You sound like my dad...

Fadi: Listen...you do want us to carry on seeing each other, don’t you?

Olivia: Yeah...but nothing serious, eh? Let’s just keep it casual...

Fadi: Ok... Hey Carlos!...I think that’s two of us!
