Episode 46: We've been listed for a prize
Magda: Hi everyone!
Sarah, Olivia: Hi! Hello there!
Magda: Could I have a coffee please, Tony?
Tony: As usual...
Magda: Yeah – by the way, do you have any champagne?
Tony: Champagne? Not in this café Magda...wrong place, sorry!
Olivia: Did I hear you asking for champagne, Magda?
Magda: Yes you did!
Sarah. What are you celebrating?
Magda: Well, nothing yet...
Olivia: Go on...!
Magda: The company I work for....
Sarah: Your architect’s company?
Magda: Yeah – we’ve been listed for a prize!
Sarah: Hey – that’s great!
Olivia: “Listed”? So you haven’t won the prize yet...?
Magda: No – but we’re in with a good chance!
Sarah: When will you find out if you’ve won?
Magda: Really soon – I’m expecting a phone call any minute!
Sarah: Wow! How exciting!
Olivia: Fingers crossed!
Sarah: So, Olivia – tell me. How are things going with Fadi? Have you been out with him again?
Olivia: Oh...well... you know...
Magda: Go on! Tell us everything!
Olivia: There’s nothing to tell! Really! Yeah, we’ve been out a couple of times, we went to a movie last night, but, we’re just good friends...
Sarah: “Just good friends”???
Olivia: Yeah – really! I like him, he’s great, but nothing more than that...
Magda: I’m not sure I believe you!
Olivia: It’s true! Anyway, let’s change the subject – how are things going with you and Carlos, Sarah?
Sarah: Oh, ok...
Olivia: Come on! Who’s being shy now!?
Sarah: It’s great, actually. I mean, we’re really different as people, but we get on so well together...
Magda: Sounds good....
Sarah: Yeah, it is, but I mean it’s difficult. He doesn’t really like his job here - he’s thinking about going back to Brazil soon. I don’t know if I want to go there!
Olivia: Decisions, decisions...
Sarah: Is that you, Magda?
Magda: Yes it is....now I’ll find out if we’ve won....
Sarah/Olivia: (squeal of excitement)
Magda: ...hello? Yes. Yes. Oh. So? Erm, I see. And? Yes? YES!!!!!!!
Sarah/Olivia: Hooray!!!!!
Sarah: You did it!
Magda: Yes! We won!
Olivia: Fantastic! Well done!
Sarah: So was this a building you designed?
Magda: Erm, no, not exactly....
Olivia: But you designed a lot of it?
Magda: Erm, no, not exactly....
Sarah: The doorway?
Magda: No.
Olivia: The windows?
Magda: No.
Sarah: What did you design then?
Magda: Erm, actually, just the handles. On the doors.
Sarah: Oh.
Olivia: The doorhandles?
Magda: Yes.
Olivia: I see.
Sarah: Well, that’s good! Doorhandles are important! You should be proud!
Magda: Yes. I guess so. It’s a start.....!
Tony: Sorry girls – no champagne, but I’ll put extra sugar in your coffee. Free!
Olivia (sarcastically): Thanks Tony!
