Episode 42: We are still successful

All:  Hooray!  Welcome back Tony!

Tony:  Erm, cheers, thanks.

Magda:  How are you feeling?

Tony:  Much better thanks.  All well now.

Johnny:  Good to hear!

Harry:  Carlos will be happy!  He doesn’t have to work here anymore...

Tony:  Actually...

Carlos:  Yeah?

Tony:  I was wondering, sometimes it’s useful to have an assistant, you know, someone to help out from time to time...

Carlos:  Sure....

Tony:  So, would you like to stay on for a bit?

Carlos:  Just part time?

Tony:  Just part time, yeah...

Carlos:  Well, you know that really I want to open my own restaurant...

Tony:  Yeah...well this will give you good experience....!

Carlos:  I guess so.  Why not?  Sure!

Tony:  Great!  Thanks Carlos!

Olivia:  That is the first time I’ve ever heard Tony say “thanks” to anyone!

Harry:  So, Fadi – how’s our business coming along?

Johnny:  Yeah – are we millionaires yet?

Fadi:  Erm...well, I’ve got a bit of news for you there....

Harry:  Doesn’t sound good...

Johnny:  What’s going on?

Fadi:  Well, I’ve had a bit of a problem raising the initial capital...

Harry:  So we can’t start?

Fadi:  Well, not exactly..I mean, I have invested – that is, spent – some of the money already...

Johnny:  What on?

Fadi:  Publicity, setting up the website, you know – important things!

Harry:  But...?

Fadi:  Well – it’s business, isn’t it?  If we don’t get more money, we can’t go on...

Johnny:  And in the meantime you’ve spent the money we gave you to invest...!

Fadi:  You’ve got to speculate to accumulate!  Be patient – we’ll still be successful!

Harry:  If we don’t, I’ll be joining Carlos working in this cafe!
