EPISODE 3

Debbie : I hate gardening. I hope we don't have to do this every

week.
Pete : Think of the Community Award. And it makes the
garden look nice.
Debbie : I suppose so.
Joel : I'm really hungry. Is it time for lunch yet?
Debbie : "Is it time for lunch yet?" Honestly Joel, you're always
eating.
Joel : So what?
Debbie : So, you're overweight.
Joel : You must be joking! I am not overweight, am I?
Pete : No. Definitely not... Not yet, anyway!
Joel : Hey!
Joel : That's not lunch. That's a snack.
Debbie : For me, Joel, it's lunch.
Joel : Oh, I know, you're on one of those stupid diets.
Pete : Joel!
Joel : Well, she must be crazy! She's not eating enough. And
it's all salad.
Debbie : No it isn't. I decide what I eat and how much, thank
you. I don't need your advice. Anyway, look what
you've got there. It's gross.
Joel : What?
Debbie : You don't need crisps and bread. And you certainly
don't need chocolate biscuits.
Jess : Hey, come on, guys. We don't have to argue about
this. I think the important thing about eating is...
Debbie : I don't care what you think, Jess. I don't actually care
what any of you think. I eat what I want to eat.
Joel : And that goes for me too.
Debbie : Yes, it does. I eat healthily. You eat unhealthily. Let's
leave it at that.
Joel : No way! First you say I'm overweight...
Pete : It was a joke, Joel.
Joel : Then you tell me I eat unhealthily. That's out of order,
Debbie.
Debbie : But when you say I'm on a stupid diet, that's OK - yes?
Jess : Oh, come on guys. Stop arguing you two. We've got a
lot of work to do.
Debbie : You must be joking. I'm not doing any work with Joel
around. I'm going home.
Jess : Debbie! Now look what you've done.
Joel : What I've done! I'm telling you, that's the last time I
work with Debbie.
Jess : I don't know what to do about Debbie and Joel. We
have to work as a team for the Community Award.
Pete : So we have to get them working together again.
Jess : Have you got any ideas?
Pete : I have actually. I think Debbie should meet my sister.
Jess : Your sister?
Pete : That's right. She's back from university for a few days.
Jess : How can she help?
Pete : Joel didn't mean to be so rude. I think he was upset
because you said he was overweight.
Debbie : It was a joke.
Pete : I know that. But it didn't sound like a joke at the time.
Debbie : Well. Maybe. I don't know.
Pete : Do you think he's got a point? You know, about you not
eating a balanced diet. And not eating enough.
Debbie : Not really, no. I mean, I want to stay thin and healthy.
Pete : Yeah. Oh, look, there's my sister! Hi, Soph! This is my
friend Debbie.
Sophy : Hello, Debbie.
Debbie : Hi.
Sophy : I'm just on my way to the gym. I'll see you later, Pete.
Er, mum said dinner is at 6 o'clock so don't eat too
much here!
Pete : Yeah, OK.
Sophy : 'Bye, Debbie. Nice to meet you.
Debbie : You too. Wow! Your sister is so cool. She looks really
good. What's her secret?
Pete : Three meals a day. And she doesn't go on diets.
Debbie : You're joking.
Pete : No I'm not. Three balanced meals, obviously!
Debbie : Pete, did you plan this? Did you ask your sister to...
Pete : Why would I do that?
Pete : You know, when Debbie said you're overweight - it
was meant to be a joke.
Joel : It didn't sound like one.
Pete : I know. She's really sorry.
Jess : So what have you guys got for your lunch this time?
Debbie : My usual. Plus a sandwich and an apple.
Joel : My usual. But I've just decided not to eat my crisps
and my chocolate after all!
Debbie : You can have my yoghurt if I can have your chocolate.
Joel : Done!
