Episode 39: Think about the planet

Harry:  Hey there!

Olivia:  Hi Harry, come and have a seat!

Harry:  OK – I’ll just get a coffee...hang on...where’s Tony?

Magda:  He’s off sick...

Olivia:  And you’ll notice that there’s a new chef in here!

Harry:  Carlos!  What’s he doing working here?

Magda:  He’s taken over while Tony’s away...

Harry:  Well, good on him – he’s always wanted his own restaurant!  I guess this cafe will have to do for now...

Olivia:  Yeah...it’s good experience for him!

Harry:  Carlos!  Hey, Carlos!  Could I have a coffee, mate?

Harry: Carlos?  Hello!? ... Well, I hope he’s a good chef...because he’s a terrible waiter!

Olivia:  Oh go on...give him a break!

Magda:  Yeah – it’s really busy in here right now.  Be patient!

Harry:  Busy?  Yeah – tell me about it!  Everywhere is today – I couldn’t find anywhere to park my car.  I had to leave it miles away.

Olivia:  Park your car?  I thought you took your bike everywhere!

Harry:  Well, I used to, but sometimes it’s just easier to drive, isn’t it?

Magda:  Lazy!

Harry:  I’m not lazy!  I do lots of sport – play football every week...

Olivia:  Do you drive to the football pitch?

Harry:  Erm, yeah..usually...

Olivia:  You should use your bike more often....It’s better for you, and for the environment!

Johnny:  Hello all!  Hey, is that Carlos behind the counter?

All:  Yes it is...

Johnny:  What’s he doing there?

Olivia:  Long story...

Johnny:  Blimey...have you seen the traffic out there?

Olivia:  Not you as well?!

Johnny:  Me what?

Olivia:  Driving!

Johnny:  Of course I drive...how else would I get around?

Magda:  I always use public transport...it’s very good here in London, even if it’s quite expensive...

Olivia:  Not as expensive as a car...

Harry:  That’s true...!

Olivia:  You should all cycle more!

Johnny:  I’m not cycling...it’s tiring.  And dangerous!

Harry:  And the weather here is terrible – cycling in the rain isn’t any fun!

Magda:  That’s true...that’s why I get the tube or the bus.

Olivia:  Well, I think you should all think about your health...and the future of the planet!

Harry:  Yeah, yeah, yeah...whatever...

Olivia:  It’s important!  Cars make so much pollution!

Magda:  Yeah – Olivia’s right!

Johnny:  Scientists are finding ways to stop pollution – that’s their job...

Olivia:  Maybe, but we should all help to help the planet!

Harry:  I don’t know about the planet....I just think right now we should try to help Carlos!
