  Audio Script
  Fadi: So, I wonder how Carlos got on with his
  date.
  Johnny: His date?
  Fadi: Yeah...come on. You remember – he
  went out with Sarah last night...
  Johnny: Oh yeah, sure – they went to a new art
  gallery, didn't they?
  Fadi: Yeah – that?s right... he was really
  worried about it.
  Johnny: I'm not surprised. Sarah likes all that
  strange contemporary art.
  Fadi: And here he is to tell us all about it!
  Carlos: Hi guys!
  Johnny: Hello there! So? How did it go?
  Carlos: How did what go?
  Fadi: Come on! Your date with Sarah! How
  was it?
  Carlos: Oh, er, well… erm...
  Johnny: Oh no...
  Fadi: Was it a disaster?
  Carlos: Oh, no... erm, not a disaster...
  Johnny: Go on...give us details...
  Carlos: Well, it was at this new art gallery…
  Fadi: Yeah?
  Carlos: “Black Box” it was called...
  Johnny: Hmmm... sounds more like a nightclub.
  Carlos: There were quite a lot of people there,
  and everyone was really fashionable...
  Carlos: Yeah... everyone was wearing black! I
  felt really scruffy...
  Johnny: Scruffy?
  Fadi: Yeah, scruffy – badly dressed...
  Johnny: So what was the art like?
  Carlos: Art? I didn't think it was art... there were
  some TVs showing some pictures of a
  man walking around an empty room...
  Fadi: Great...
  Carlos: Then there were some big photographs
  on the walls...
  Johnny: Ok – I like photography...
  Carlos: Yeah, me too – but there were all
  blurred, out of focus – you couldn?t see
  what they were photographs of... So, I
  was trying to be interested, you know, to
  impress Sarah really...
  Fadi: Of course...
  Johnny: What was Sarah doing?
  Carlos: Well, Sarah was talking to another man,
  so I went up to them. Sarah introduces
  me, and then he says What do you
  think?and I said, Well, I think the
  photographs are all out of focus?...
  Fadi: Fair enough...
  Carlos: But then the man, he gets really angry,
  and walks off...
  Johnny: Oh...
  Carlos: And Sarah looks really embarrassed...
  Fadi: Why?
  Carlos: It turns out, well, this man, he was the
  artist...
  Fadi & Johnny: Oh no...
  Carlos: And they weren't even photographs...
  they were paintings, supposed to look
  like photographs... Sarah explained it all
  to me, but I didn't understand anything...
  I felt so stupid... and Sarah was so
  embarrassed...
  Fadi: Are you going to see her again?
  Carlos: Well, I don't know... I'd like to... I hope
  so...
  Johnny: Ask her out again – but this time, take
  her somewhere you want to go...
  Fadi: Good idea...
  Carlos: Where?
  Johnny: Take her to a football match – I've got
  tickets for this weekend. You can have
  them.
  Carlos: But I don't like football.
  Fadi: Go on! It's a great British experience...
  Johnny: Yeah... look, I know Sarah – she?ll love
  it!
  Carlos: Er... well, ok then... I?ll ask her...
  Fadi: Oh no... look who it is!
  Johnny: Hey Joe! Where?s Olivia?
  Bindyu: Joe! He's so funny... such a sweet little
  boy...
  Olivia: Joe! Stop that! Sorry everyone...
  Bindyu: Don't worry Olivia – I?ll look after him.
  He's so much fun!
  Johnny: Did Harry fix your website?
  Olivia: He did...
  Harry: Of course I did! I'm an expert!
  Olivia: Thanks Harry... I owe you a coffee, at
  least...
  Harry: No problem – I'm just glad you've made
  up with Bindyu...
  Fadi: Oh yeah? So you?re all friends now?

  Olivia: She came last night, and looked after
  my little nephew Joe. They get on
  together really well!
  Johnny: Who'd have thought it?

  have children!
