Episode 31: I have found out ...
Tony: Oi! What are you lot doing? What’s that?
Harry: It’s a banner...
Tony: A what?
Harry: A banner – look! See what it says...
Tony: Save..our...café...Oh, I see. Very good. Do you think it’ll stop them from closing this place?
Olivia: Well, you never know. Every little bit helps.
Tony: Hmm. I’m not sure having that thing stuck to the front of my café will change anything.
Bindyu: Oh yes it will, Tony – be positive! My friend from the local newspaper is coming to take a photograph, and I’m going to write an article!
Tony: Hmm. Great.
Olivia: Look Tony – it’s the only thing we can do! We can organise a campaign here, and at the same time Sarah’s doing some work as well...
Magda: Wow! Look at that banner! Very impressive!
Olivia: Hi Magda!
Magda: Hello everyone!
Olivia: So, go on then, have you decided to take the job?
Magda: Yeah...I have to accept the job...I mean, I really want to...it’s a good job, and good jobs in architecture are difficult to get...and I need the money!
Olivia: Sure, I understand...
Magda: Johnny’s old flat, where me and Sarah live, is great but it’s so expensive...
Olivia: But you can help us...
Harry: Yeah, if you work for the company who want to knock down Tony’s café and Olivia’s shop, you can do something!
Magda: Well, I’m not sure...but I’ll see...!
Carlos: Hello everyone!
All: Hi Carlos!
Carlos: Is Sarah here today?
Magda: Er, not yet...but she said she’d be here soon...
Carlos: Oh. Ok, I’ll wait for her. Is it ok if I sit here?
Magda: Sure...
Olivia: Come and join us!
Magda: So, is it true you’re a chef?
Carlos: Not exactly...I’d like to be a chef, that’s what I want to do, but at the moment I’m a caterer...it’s different...
Magda: What’s a caterer?
Carlos: A caterer makes food for lots of people – I make all the lunches for the people who work on the building site next door. It’s just sandwiches or soup, or other simple things. It’s quite boring – I like more of a challenge!
Olivia: Here she is!
Sarah: Hello everyone! Hello Carlos!
Carlos: Hi Sarah! Good to see you again…
Olivia: Carlos was just telling us all about his job...
Sarah: You’re a chef, aren’t you?
Carlos: No...but I want to be!
Sarah: Where are you from?
Carlos: I’m from Brazil! Even if no one believes me...
Sarah: Why don’t people think you’re from Brazil?
Carlos: I don’t like football, and I can’t dance...
Sarah: Listen, though – we’ve got an important job to do...we have to save this café, and Olivia’s shop!
Olivia: That’s right...
Carlos: But how?
Harry: I’ve put up the banner...
Bindyu: And I’m writing an article for the local paper...
Sarah: Great...and I’ve found out something very interesting...
Olivia: Oh? What’s that?
Sarah: Well, you know I have a friend who works at the local museum – I love going to museums and art galleries, Carlos – and she told me something that could be important...
Olivia: Go on...!
Sarah: These buildings – the café and your shop – are actually a lot older than many people think...
Olivia: Really?
Sarah: Yes. They’re probably two hundred years old...
Olivia: Tony! Did you hear that?
Tony: What?
Olivia: Sarah has found out that the café and my shop are really very old buildings...
Tony: That’s why I’ve got a problem with the roof, then...
Harry: It means they can’t possibly knock down these buildings!
Sarah: Right. They have historical value.
Tony: It won’t stop them.
Olivia: Oh Tony, you must be more optimistic! Try looking on the positive side!
Tony: I can’t see a “positive side”...
Bindyu: We’ll make a great campaign – it’ll show how people can stop big corporations from doing what they want!
Olivia: Let’s hope so...
