Harry: Cheers...

Johnny: So, listen, I had a word with the IT department about that job that I’d mentioned, and they’d like you to come in for a chat sometime...

Harry: A “chat”?

Johnny: Well, yeah, you know, not really a formal interview, just...well...like, a chat, so they can get to know you, and see what you’re like, and stuff...

Harry: But there’s no real job on offer...

Johnny: Well, no, perhaps not as yet, not exactly...

Harry: Hmmm, I’m not sure.

Johnny: Go on! What have you got to lose?

Harry: I guess you’re right...

Johnny: And it’s a good company to work for...lots of prospects...great bonuses! And you get to work with me!

Olivia: Just natural curiosity...

Johnny: Harry’s coming to work with me!

Olivia: That’s great!

Harry: Hang on, hang on...it’s not definite yet...

Olivia: I’m sure you’ll get the job! Well done!

Harry: Slow down, will you!

Olivia: That means you’ll be too busy to do my website for me...

Olivia: And no success?

Sarah: No success at all.

Harry: What’s the problem?

Sarah: They’re all too small, or too dark, or too far away, or too expensive, or there are weird flatmates...

Harry: You’ll have to compromise at some point....

Sarah: Yeah, I guess so, but I don’t want to live in a complete dump, and it seems that I can’t afford much more.

Fadi: Hello all!

All: Hi Fadi!

Harry: How’s it going mate?
