Overhead in a London Cafe

MAN: OK, so what would you need in that report?
WOMAN: So how's that report going to work?
MAN: It would be like that CSV -
WOMAN: Oh, so you've got to enter all that information?
---------------
MAN: So one's going to be a client email and one's going to be for these guys - one for the organisation.
---------------
WOMAN: I thought we were working together on this.
---------------
WOMAN: You're sure I couldn't get this cheaper elsewhere?
---------------
WOMAN: I only have £10,000.
MAN: But you only have to sell 4 ads...
WOMAN: It doesn't work like that - what are you saying, that you want to invest?
MAN: It's just not worth our time. It's not software that we'd want to use again, it wouldn't be worth our time investing.
---------------
WOMAN: Why does it cost so much? I mean, if I was going to sing, I could charge £10,000
---------------
WOMAN: I thought download meant music download.
---------------
MAN: You could try and get it cheaper elsewhere, but if you get cheaper site, it will be done by cheaper people. You know I've seen people try to get sites done using Ukrainians...
WOMAN: What are you saying? They're inferior because they're from a different country? They're cheap because they need the money, they're not dressed in fashionable clothes like you, they're not going on fancy hoildays.
---------------
WOMAN: I think your developers probably have a name for you that you don't know.
---------------
WOMAN: Now "forward to a friend", when you click can that... What do those words mean?
---------------
MAN: Hang on a minute, why are we forwarding to a friend?
---------------
MAN: But the link won't work
WOMAN: Doesn't matter, it's just for marketing
MAN: But that's going to be bad
---------------
WOMAN: I thought you knew about that.
MAN: I did but...
WOMAN: Now you're actually thinking about it - how it would work.
---------------
WOMAN: That would be brilliant J
MAN: Yeah - that would be brilliant, but it would cost.
---------------
WOMAN: It wasn't part of the spec - that's what you're gonna tell me six months down the line.
---------------
WOMAN: You know, I think you have a bit of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). But I think you do have a bit. I'm a victim because I'm having to pay for your disorder. I mean other people have medication.
---------------
WOMAN: And can we change the colours
MAN: Yeah - but it's going to cost for you to change
WOMAN: So in that case, maybe we should keep it as neutral as possible.
---------------
WOMAN: Do you guys have employees or are they contract?
MAN: Both.
WOMAN: Really? You have full-time?
