Big City Small World: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 any more.

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!
