All:  Johnny!  Welcome back!  Great to see you again!

Johnny:  It’s great to be back!

Olivia:  Are you just back for a visit?

Johnny:  No!  I’m staying...!

All:  Hooray!

Fadi:  Great news! 

Johnny:  Yeah – a position came up with my company back in London – I applied for it, and, well, here I am!

Olivia:  How did it go in China?

Johnny:  Great – it was really good to be back.  I did really well in my job...

Magda: You always talk about your job!

Johnny:  Hey!  My career is important to me!

Sarah:  Oh, I’m a bit jealous of you...I’d love to go back home to visit my family and friends.  I haven’t been back for ages now...

Johnny:  Yeah...you should go...

Olivia:  So you’re back for good?

Johnny:  For a year, at least...then we’ll see!

Harry:  Oh, by the way – this is Bindyu – she’s my girlfriend...

Johnny:  Nice to meet you! Well done, Harry...

Bindyu:  Nice to meet you too.

Fadi:  We’ll have to start the football team again!

All:  Hi Carlos!

Carlos:  Oh, Hi!  Hi Sarah!

Sarah:  Hello!

Harry:  Johnny – this is our new Brazilian friend, Carlos...

Johnny:  Hi Carlos!  You’re Brazilian?  You must be good at football...join our team!

Carlos:  Erm, well, actually, I’m afraid I’m no good at football...

Johnny:  Well, you’ll fit in with our team then!

Carlos:  Eh?

Harry:  Never mind, Carlos, it’s not important...

Johnny:  So what’s been going on here while I’ve been away?

All:  Er, well...hmmm...

Harry:  Lots of stuff..

Johnny:  Go on!  I saw that banner in the window – what’s up?  Why do you need to save the cafe?

Olivia:  And my shop...

Harry:  Well, did you see that building site just behind the cafe?

Johnny:  Yes, I did actually – it looks like they’re building something big, looks interesting...

Olivia:  Hmmm...

Harry:  Yeah, luxury flats...

Olivia:  The problem being...

Tony:  ...they want to knock down the cafe!

Olivia:  And my shop.

Johnny:  Oh no...

Sarah:  But don’t worry!

Johnny:  Why not? 

Harry:  We got a campaign going – the banner in the window...

Bindyu:  And I wrote an article in the local paper!

Sarah:  We found they’re historic buildings – so it’s not legal to knock them down.

Johnny:  Don’t worry anyhow - I’m rich enough now!  I could buy the cafe, and your shop Olivia!, then do what I want..!

Harry:  Seriously!?

Johnny:  Er, well, no, actually, probably not.  Just joking, you know.  But I will be rich enough in a couple of years....!

Harry:  Yeah, right.

Carlos:  Listen guys, that was what I came to talk to you about.  At lunch today – I’m a caterer, Johnny, I make lunch for all the people who work on the building site next door...

Johnny:  I see...

Carlos:    ...well, there were two of the top managers there.

Olivia:  Oh yeah?

Sarah:  And?

Carlos:  Well, I didn’t listen to them, exactly...

Sarah:  Of course not!

Carlos:  No, but....I heard what they were saying...

Olivia:  And what were they saying?

Carlos:  They were saying...

Tony:  Oi!  Johnny!  Are you going to buy something?  If you want to have a party go back to your house!  I run a business here, you know....

Johnny:  Oh sorry, Tony – yeah, could I have a coffee please?

Tony:  That all?

Olivia:  Tony!  Please...Carlos is going to tell us something really important...

Tony:  What?

Olivia:  That’s what we’re going to find out...!!  Carlos...go on!

Carlos:  The managers, they were saying, that they know these buildings – the cafe, and your shop – they know they’re historic buildings, and they know they can’t knock them down...

Magda:  Yes...that’s what I found out...I told Bindyu...she put it in the paper...

Carlos:  Yes – they’ve read the newspaper, they said.  They know there’s nothing they can do...

Olivia:  So?

Magda: So?

Harry: So?

Tony:  So?

Carlos:  So...they’re not going to knock them down!  The campaign was a success!  You’ve won!
