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 café 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!
