Fadi: Oh really! I didn't know you were Aunt Olivia!

Olivia: Thank you very much Fadi. You make me feel old. Listen, have you had a chat with Harry yet?

Fadi: About work?

Olivia: Yeah.

Fadi: No, not yet, but I'm supposed to talk to him today. He said he'd be in here later.

Olivia: Listen, though, it's not true what Harry was saying

Fadi: About what?

Olivia: About me being upset if he can't do the website for my shop…I don't mind if he can't do it! He wanted far too much money. I could never have afforded it. Now it's ok, because he thinks he's turning me down…I don't have to offend him by sayingno’! A happy result all round!

Fadi: I seeso I don't have to bail you out, after all?

Olivia: No!

Olivia: Joe, can you stop that please? Come over here!
