Episode 37: Something in common

Olivia:  Hi Sarah!

Sarah:  Hi!

Magda:  How are you?

Sarah:  Oh, not bad, I suppose…

Bindyu:  What’s up?

Sarah:  Nothing really...just that...well, I hope Carlos isn’t coming in today...

Olivia:  Why not?

Sarah:  Well, he took me out on a date last night.

Magda:  Great! 

Bindyu:  That’s the second time you’ve been out together, isn’t it?

Sarah:  Yes – and it’ll be the last!

Olivia:  Oh no!  What happened?

Sarah:  Well, he asked me to go out with him, but didn’t tell me where we were going...

Magda:  Ooh...a surprise – how great!

Sarah:  No – it wasn’t great!

Olivia:  Where did he take you?

Sarah:  To a football match!!!

Magda:  Oh.  I didn’t know you liked football...

Sarah:  I don’t!  I hate it!

Olivia:  Who was playing?

Sarah:  I don’t know...one team in red, the other team in blue...it was so boring!

Olivia:  Why did he take you there?

Sarah:  I don’t know – the stupid thing is, he doesn’t like football either!

Olivia:  I think I know why he took you...hello Fadi!  Hello Johnny!

Fadi/Johnny:  Hi all!

Olivia:  Can I ask you two a question?

Fadi: Sure...

Olivia:  Was it your idea for Carlos to take Sarah to a football match?

Fadi:  Erm, er...

Johnny:  It was Fadi’s idea...

Fadi:  No it wasn’t!  It was your idea!

Olivia:  Ok, ok, enough.

Fadi:  So, Sarah – did you have a good time?

Sarah:  Hmmmphhh.

Johnny:  I think that means no.

Sarah:  It was awful.

Fadi:  Poor Carlos.

Johnny:  Yeah – he’s crazy about you!

Magda:  I think he’s so sweet.

Bindyu:  Yeah, he is.  You should try going out with him again...

Sarah:  No way.

Magda:  Go on!  Give him another chance!

Sarah: I don’t know...I’m not sure...

Bindyu:  Oh...here he is now!

Carlos:  Hello everyone!

All:  Hi Carlos!

Carlos:  How are you all today?

All:  Great!  Fine!  Not bad...

Olivia:  So – I hear you and Sarah went out again last night?

Carlos:  Oh, erm, yeah...I don’t want to talk about it...

Johnny:  Sorry – perhaps our great idea wasn’t so great after all...

Carlos:  No.  It wasn’t.

Olivia:  Never mind – ask her out again.

Carlos:  No way.

Olivia:  Ok.  I’ll do it for you then!

Carlos:  No!

Olivia:  Yes!

Carlos:  Oh no...

Olivia:  Hey, Sarah – I’ve just seen there’s a great new film coming out this weekend...

Sarah:  Oh yeah?  Sounds good – I love cinema.  Why don’t we go together?

Olivia:  Ok...oh!  No...I’ve just realised – I can’t go to the cinema this weekend.  I have to look after Joe...

Bindyu:  I’d love to come, but I’m helping Olivia with Joe...

Johnny:  I’m working all weekend...as usual!

Fadi:  Yeah – I’d go, but I’m playing football with Harry.

Carlos:  I’m not doing anything.  I love cinema.

Sarah:  I didn’t know you liked cinema!  You never told me...

Olivia:  Excellent!  Carlos can go with you!  You have something in common.

Sarah:  Oh well...erm...ok then...

Carlos:  Great – I’m looking forward to it!

Olivia: Fadi – are you really playing football with Harry this weekend?

Fadi:  Yeah...only on Saturday afternoon though...

Olivia:  So you’re free on Saturday night?

Fadi:  Erm, yeah...

Olivia:  You’re not going out with one of your girlfriends?

Fadi:  Erm, no...

Olivia:  Well, Bindyu will look after Joe on Saturday night.

Fadi:  So?

Olivia:  So I’m not doing anything on Saturday night...

Fadi:  Oh...

Olivia:  Look – I mean – why don’t we go out together?

Fadi:  Us?  Me and you?

Olivia:  Yes.

Fadi:  Erm...er...ok... yeah!  Great!  Let’s go out for something to eat!!!

Olivia:  Finally!  I thought you’d never ask!!!

All:  (laughter)
