Magda: What will you do now?

Harry: I have absolutely no idea! The future is an open book.

Sarah: Very poetic!

Fadi: Well Sarah, at least youre OK...with your new flat and everything.

Sarah: Oh...er..well...

Olivia: Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that...cousin.

Fadi: You wanted to talk to me?

Olivia: (whispering) Yeah, well, you see, Sarahs a bit embarrassed.

Fadi: (whispering) Whats up?

Olivia: She wants to leave the new flat...she doesnt get on well with the landlord.

Fadi: My cousin?

Olivia: Yes, your cousin.

Fadi: Im not surprised!

Olivia: Eh?

Fadi: I said Im not surprised! My cousins horrible! I cant stand him!

Olivia: (laughs) Oh thats a relief.

Fadi: Sarah—Im sorry if I got you involved with my cousin. I thought you were desperate for a place to live. I know my cousins horrible!

Sarah: Oh, never mind Fadi—thanks for trying to help anyway...Now I need a new place to live though.

Magda: If I get this job, Ill have more money—we could get a place together.

Sarah: Thatd be great.

Johnny: If I take the job in China, Ill have to leave my flat.

Sarah: And we could move in.

Olivia: What a lot of “ifs”.

Sarah: Its exciting.

Magda: But also worrying.

Johnny: And confusing.

Harry: And thats not all.

Fadi: What?

Harry: Ive just been speaking to the owner of the café.

Oliva: And?

Harry: Theyre closing down—next week!

All: What? Oh no...

Johnny: Thats terrible.
