Episode 42: We are still successful

All: Hooray! Welcome back Tony!

Tony: Erm, cheers, thanks.

Magda: How are you feeling?

Tony: Much better thanks. All well now.

Johnny: Good to hear!

Harry: Carlos will be happy! He doesn’t have to work here anymore...

Tony: Actually...

Carlos: Yeah?

Tony: I was wondering, sometimes it’s useful to have an assistant, you know, someone to help out from time to time...

Carlos: Sure....

Tony: So, would you like to stay on for a bit?

Carlos: Just part time?

Tony: Just part time, yeah...

Carlos: Well, you know that really I want to open my own restaurant...

Tony: Yeah...well this will give you good experience....!

Carlos: I guess so. Why not? Sure!

Tony: Great! Thanks Carlos!

Olivia: That is the first time I’ve ever heard Tony say “thanks” to anyone!

Harry: So, Fadi – how’s our business coming along?

Johnny: Yeah – are we millionaires yet?

Fadi: Erm...well, I’ve got a bit of news for you there....

Harry: Doesn’t sound good...

Johnny: What’s going on?

Fadi: Well, I’ve had a bit of a problem raising the initial capital...

Harry: So we can’t start?

Fadi: Well, not exactly..I mean, I have invested – that is, spent – some of the money already...

Johnny: What on?

Fadi: Publicity, setting up the website, you know – important things!

Harry: But...?

Fadi: Well – it’s business, isn’t it? If we don’t get more money, we can’t go on...

Johnny: And in the meantime you’ve spent the money we gave you to invest...!

Fadi: You’ve got to speculate to accumulate! Be patient – we’ll still be successful!

Harry: If we don’t, I’ll be joining Carlos working in this café!
