Johnny: Hey, guys! Did you hear about Magda?
All: No.
Johnny: She won a prize for her architecture!
All: That’s great!
Johnny: ... but it turned out she’d only designed the door handles for the winning building!
Harry: Ha ha ha! Yeah, but c’mon, that’s not funny. She’s really talented! It’s a great place to start.
Johnny: What? Do you fancy her or something?
Harry: No! Get out of here! I’m just being nice.
Fadi: Yeah, Johnny, come on ...
Johnny: Guys! I’m only joking – good on her, really! Talking of girlfriends ...
All: Yeah?
Johnny: I hear you’ve been going out with Olivia, Fadi!
Fadi: OK, yeah, just once or twice, though. She’s really nice.
Harry: Are you going to see her again?
Fadi: Probably – she’s in this café every day!
Harry: You know what I mean! Are you going to go out with her again?
Fadi: Oh ... I don’t know ... maybe ... Anyway – let’s change the subject: what about you and Bindyu?
Harry: Yeah. It’s good, y’know, we’re really different as people, but we get on pretty well actually.
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 ...
Harry: So, Carlos, we were just talking about girlfriends.
Fadi: Wait, Harry – you were talking about girlfriends.
Harry. Whatever! Have you seen Sarah again, Carlos?
Carlos: Yeah. It was difficult at first – we’re quite different people.
Harry: 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 ...
All: What?
Harry: Asking her to marry me!
All: No!!!!!!!
Harry: Well, only, y’know, like ... maybe ... just a thought ...
Johnny: Blimey – Tony – I think we’ll need those coffees extra strong!

Thanks in advance
Hello seham fadL,
I'm sorry the audio isn't working for you. I've just checked it and am able to listen to it now. Could you please try again? We've found that users in some locations are not able to listen to our audio sometimes. If that's the case with you, I'd suggest trying again each day and once you are able to listen to it, to download each episode.
All the best,
