Episode 39: Think about the planet
Harry: Hey there!
Olivia: Hi Harry, come and have a seat!
Harry: OK – I’ll just get a coffee...hang on...where’s Tony?
Magda: He’s off sick...
Olivia: And you’ll notice that there’s a new chef in here!
Harry: Carlos! What’s he doing working here?
Magda: He’s taken over while Tony’s away...
Harry: Well, good on him – he’s always wanted his own restaurant! I guess this café will have to do for now...
Olivia: Yeah...it’s good experience for him!
Harry: Carlos! Hey, Carlos! Could I have a coffee, mate?
Harry: Carlos? Hello!? ... Well, I hope he’s a good chef...because he’s a terrible waiter!
Olivia: Oh go on...give him a break!
Magda: Yeah – it’s really busy in here right now. Be patient!
Harry: Busy? Yeah – tell me about it! Everywhere is today – I couldn’t find anywhere to park my car. I had to leave it miles away.
Olivia: Park your car? I thought you took your bike everywhere!
Harry: Well, I used to, but sometimes it’s just easier to drive, isn’t it?
Magda: Lazy!
Harry: I’m not lazy! I do lots of sport – play football every week...
Olivia: Do you drive to the football pitch?
Harry: Erm, yeah..usually...
Olivia: You should use your bike more often....It’s better for you, and for the environment!
Johnny: Hello all! Hey, is that Carlos behind the counter?
All: Yes it is...
Johnny: What’s he doing there?
Olivia: Long story...
Johnny: Blimey...have you seen the traffic out there?
Olivia: Not you as well?!
Johnny: Me what?
Olivia: Driving!
Johnny: Of course I drive...how else would I get around?
Magda: I always use public transport...it’s very good here in London, even if it’s quite expensive...
Olivia: Not as expensive as a car...
Harry: That’s true...!
Olivia: You should all cycle more!
Johnny: I’m not cycling...it’s tiring. And dangerous!
Harry: And the weather here is terrible – cycling in the rain isn’t any fun!
Magda: That’s true...that’s why I get the tube or the bus.
Olivia: Well, I think you should all think about your health...and the future of the planet!
Harry: Yeah, yeah, yeah...whatever...
Olivia: It’s important! Cars make so much pollution!
Magda: Yeah – Olivia’s right!
Johnny: Scientists are finding ways to stop pollution – that’s their job...
Olivia: Maybe, but we should all help to help the planet!
Harry: I don’t know about the planet....I just think right now we should try to help Carlos!
