DAISY: Your email was a bit of (1)_____________ shock—Rob trying to sell the coffee (2)_____________ to Café Pronto. I couldn't believe (3)_____________!
MIKE: No, me neither.
DAISY: I bet you were (4)_____________.
MIKE: You could say that, yes. I've, (5)_____________, I've calmed down a bit now, though.
DAISY: So what do you (6)_____________ we should do?
MIKE: Well, let's look at the (7)_____________. Option one—we go along with (8)_____________ plan and sell the shop.
DAISY: We'd, um, make some money, so (9)_____________ would have been worth it financially. (10)_____________ thousand profit in a year isn't (11)_____________, is it?
MIKE: No, not at all. (12)_____________ just that... you know, I just (13)_____________ want our coffee shop to become (14)_____________ branch of Café Pronto. They're all (15)_____________ same, aren't they?
DAISY: That's true. I'm not keen on (16)_____________ idea either. You're very fond of (17)_____________ place, aren't you?
MIKE: Of course. I know we don't (18)_____________ very often, but think of all (19)_____________ work we did getting it ready.
DAISY: How could I forget (20)_____________? Cleaning and painting with Rob... I (21)_____________ enjoyed all that, actually.
MIKE: Yes, me too.
DAISY: So, what's option two?
MIKE: We, er, could just (22)_____________ to sell—Rob wouldn't be able to (23)_____________ without our agreement.
DAISY: But he said he'd shut (24)_____________ the coffee shop if we did (25)_____________.
MIKE: Yes, but I don't think (26)_____________ will. He still needs the money, (27)_____________ he? What else is he going (28)_____________ do?
DAISY: I don't know, but he (29)_____________ sound pretty fed up with working (30)_____________.
MIKE: OK, so that's probably not a (31)_____________ idea.
DAISY: Well, there is another option...
MIKE: What's that?
DAISY: We could buy Rob's (32)_____________ of the coffee shop and take (33)_____________ the business.
MIKE: But who'll run the (34)_____________ while we're at work?
DAISY: We will. I could quit my (35)_____________, and you're—well, you're always saying how (36)_____________ you hate working for that advertising (37)_____________.
MIKE: I don't hate it exactly.
DAISY: Yes, you do. You're always (38)_____________ on about how bored you are (39)_____________ and how you can't wait to (40)_____________.
MIKE: Yeah, well, OK... But where will (41)_____________ get the money from?
DAISY: Well, we can, um, sell the (42)_____________ and move to Brighton. It's probably worth (43)_____________ what we paid for it anyway, and (44)_____________ easily be able to buy Rob's (45)_____________ of the business with the profit.
MIKE: And what if Rob doesn't (46)_____________?
DAISY: Oh, he will—you said he's only (47)_____________ it for the money now.
MIKE: Well, it could work.
DAISY: Definitely.
MIKE: Well, I really do need a (48)_____________, and, er, the coffee shop is (49)_____________ money. As they say, you only (50)_____________ once.
DAISY: Absolutely!
MIKE: OK, let's do it. And who (51)_____________, maybe in a few years we'll (52)_____________ running our own chain of coffee (53)_____________.
