Series Two, Episode Ten: A Date
Carlos: I can’t believe Sarah said ‘yes’!
Fadi: Well done mate!
Johnny: So where are you going to take her?
Carlos: Oh..I don’t know...we didn’t decide where to go...
Fadi: Take her out for dinner, somewhere nice...
Carlos: Yeah, that’s a good idea...
Johnny: I know a great Chinese place...
Carlos: Yes, but she always eats Chinese food – perhaps she’d like a change, try something different...?
Fadi: All the restaurants Johnny goes to are really expensive! Take your credit card if you go there!
Johnny: I like to spend my money well!
Carlos: I thought I could cook something for her...I want to be a chef, you know.
Johnny/Fadi: Yes, we know...
Fadi: Don’t invite her to your house on a first date, though.
Carlos: No? Why not?
Fadi: It looks too pushy, too forward.
Carlos: Oh, I see...
Johnny: Yeah...take it slowly!
Carlos: Oh, ok. She’s coming to the café soon, so we’ll talk about it then...

Olivia: Hello guys!
Harry: Alright!?
Fadi: Yeah, I’m fine mate. You?
Harry: Hmm...not so great...
Fadi: What’s up?
Harry: Bindyu’s really angry with me.
Johnny: Why’s that?
Harry: She thinks I’m spending too much time with Olivia.
Olivia: But it’s work! I told Bindyu that Harry’s helping me to fix my webpages.
Fadi (laughing): Is she jealous?
Harry: Shhhh! Be quiet! Here she is now!
(door)
Harry: Hi!
Bindyu: Hello Harry! Hi all!
All: Hello!
Bindyu (coldly): Hello Olivia.
Olivia: Hello.
Bindyu: Did Harry help you to fix your website?
Olivia: Well, not quite. He still needs to do some more work.
Bindyu: Hmmppph.
Olivia: Listen, I’ve got an idea – why don’t you both come to my flat this evening? Harry can do some work for me, and I’ll make dinner for everyone.
Harry: Ok! What do you think Bindyu?
Bindyu: Well, ok, I suppose so...
Olivia: Erm, there is just one problem – I have to look after my nephew Joe this evening. He’s very, erm, energetic....
Bindyu (happier): Oh...that’s ok...I love children!
Olivia: Great! Well, I’ll see you all this evening!
Bindyu: We’ll come about seven o’clock! Come on Harry, we have to go now...
Harry: Er, ok, yeah...bye everyone!
All: Bye!
(door closing)
Fadi: So Olivia, you’re spending a lot of time with Harry!
Olivia: Oh shut up you! Are you jealous as well?
Fadi: Me? No! No way!
Olivia: Good. You’ve got lots of girlfriends, haven’t you?
Fadi: Me? Oh yeah. Hundreds!
(door)
Carlos: It’s Sarah...!
Sarah: Hello all!
Carlos: Hi there!
Sarah: Hi Carlos!
Carlos: Hey!
Sarah: Listen, I’ve only got a minute, I can’t stay…
Carlos: Er, ok...
Sarah: I just wanted to say, I’ve got an invitation to a new art gallery opening this evening.
Carlos: Great.
Sarah: Would you like to come with me?
Carlos: Erm, er, yeah! Sure!
Sarah: Great! I’ll meet you here at six!
Carlos: Ok...see you later then. Bye!
Sarah: See you later! Bye!
(door closing)
Fadi: Hey! That’s your date!
Johnny: Now you don’t have to worry about where to take her!
Carlos: But...but...I am worried! I don’t know anything about art! What will I say?
Fadi/Johnny (laughing): You’re going to find out!!
