Olivia: Who was playing?
Sarah: I don’t know...one team in red, the other team in blue...it was so boring!
Olivia: Why did he take you there?
Sarah: I don’t know – the stupid thing is, he doesn’t like football either!
Olivia: I think I know why he took you...hello Fadi! Hello Johnny!
Fadi/Johnny: Hi all!
Olivia: Can I ask you two a question?
Fadi: Sure...
Olivia: Was it your idea for Carlos to take Sarah to a football match?
Fadi: Erm, er...
Johnny: It was Fadi’s idea...
Fadi: No it wasn’t! It was your idea!
Olivia: Ok, ok, enough.

All: Hi Carlos!
Carlos: How are you all today?
All: Great! Fine! Not bad...
Olivia: So – I hear you and Sarah went out again last night?

Carlos: No. It wasn’t.
Olivia: Never mind – ask her out again.
Carlos: No way.
Olivia: Ok. I’ll do it for you then!
Carlos: No!

Sarah: Oh yeah? Sounds good – I love cinema. Why don’t we go together?
Olivia: Ok...oh! No...I’ve just realised – I can’t go to the cinema this weekend. I have to look after Joe...
