Harry: Are you gonna see her again?
Fadi: Probably—she’s in this café every day!
Harry: You know what I mean! Are you gonna go out with her again?
Fadi: Oh...I don’t know...maybe...Anyway—let’s change the subject: what about you and Bindyu?

All: Carlos!
Carlos: Hello there guys! Only you lot today?
Johnny: Looks like it...don’t know where all the girls are today.
Fadi: Gone shopping probably.
Carlos: I think those girls have more interests than just shopping...they’re a pretty intelligent bunch of people!
Harry: That’s true actually. They’re all more successful than we are!
Johnny: Hey! Speak for yourself! I’m very successful!
All: (laugh)
Harry: In that case Johnny—you should buy us all a coffee! Johnny: OK then—Tony—a cappuccino for everyone please! Tony: All right, all right.

Carlos: Yeah...it was difficult at first—we’re quite different people.
Harry: (laughs) Tell me about it!
Carlos: But we both like cinema, and cooking—so we go out to see a movie, then go and get something to eat somewhere...it’s good.
Harry: Nothing more?
Carlos: Well, no. I’m taking it slowly. I’m a bit fed up with my job here, y’know...thinking about maybe giving it up and going back to Brazil.
Fadi: Really? Wow...well, we’d be sorry to see you go!
Harry: Yeah—we’d miss you!
Carlos: What about you and Bindyu, Harry?
Harry: Well, I was just telling the guys, we’re getting on really well...I’m even..I mean...I’ve thought about...
