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!
