Sarah: But dont worry!
Johnny: Why not?
Harry: We got a campaign going—the banner in the window...
Bindyu: And I wrote an article in the local paper!
Sarah: We found theyre historic buildings, so its not legal to knock them down.
Johnny: Dont worry anyhow. Im rich enough now! I could buy the café, and your shop Olivia, then do what I want!
Harry: Seriously!?
Johnny: Er, well, no, actually, probably not. Just joking, you know. But I will be rich enough in a couple of years!
Harry: Yeah, right.
Carlos: Listen guys, that was what I came to talk to you about. At lunch today. Im a caterer, Johnny, I make lunch for all the people who work on the building site next door.
Johnny: I see.
Carlos: Well, there were two of the top managers there.
Olivia (interested): Oh yeah?
Sarah: And?
Carlos: Well, I didnt listen to
them, exactly.
Sarah: Of course not!
Carlos: No, but...I heard what they
were saying...
Olivia: And what were they
saying?
Carlos: They were saying...
Tony: Oi! Johnny! Are you going
to buy something? If you want
to have a party go back to your
house! I run a business here, you
know.
Johnny: Oh sorry, Tony—yeah, could I have a coffee please?
Tony: That all?
Olivia: Tony! Please. Carlos is going to tell us something really important.
Tony: What?
Olivia: Thats what were going to find out. Carlos, go on!
Carlos: The managers, they were saying, that they know these buildings—the café, and your shop—they know theyre historic buildings, and they know they cant knock them down.
Magda: Yes. Thats what I found out. I told Bindyu. She put it in the paper.
Carlos: Yes. Theyve read the newspaper, they said. They know theres nothing they can do.
Olivia: So?
Magda: So?
Harry: So?
Tony: So?
Carlos: So...theyre not going to knock them down! The campaign was a success! Youve won!
