GINA Hi..I'm Gina..Gina Slater ..I live in London..although I wasn't born here..I'm from New York. But I like this city.... I walk through this street market nearly every day on my way to work. There are hundreds of markets like this in London... of course, they're not exactly clean or modern, but I really like them. You know, the stalls, the people, the colour, the noise...
MAN Mind your backs!
GINA Oh, sorry, sorry. You can buy all sorts of things here - fruit and vegetables, cheese, clothes, fish and flowers... and there's always something happening, always something new. For example, today is the first day for a new fruit and vegetable stall. Hello... Excuse me... Sylvia Oh, hello... You're my first customer...

GARY Get your lovely cauliflowers here. I'm not asking one pound a cauli, I'm not asking fifty p a cauli. Now girls, when you spend more than five pounds at this stall, I'll give you a cauliflower for nothing. Absoutely free.
GINA Excuse me! Excuse me!
GARY Hello there, love. What can I do for you?
GINA I just wanted to ask you about your strawberries.
GARY Gorgeous strawberries, darling. Fresh in today
GINA Where do they come from?
GARY These? These are Spanish, I think.
GINA And how much are they?
GARY Well, like it says there, darling, two pounds a kilo.
GINA I know, but that's very cheap.
GARY Well, that's competition for you.
GINA But, I mean they're really, really cheap. How do you make a profit on them at that price?
GARY Well, what I figure is, there's no way both me and that new woman can make a decent living in this market, so one of us is going to have to go. It's nothing personal. This market's just not big enough for both of us. Do you know what I mean? Now, what can I get you?
GINA Nothing, thank you. It's All right.
JO Mum... Can I have some more felt-tips, please?
MUM More felt-tips? What happened to the last packet I bought you, Jo?
JO But if you buy two packets, they'll give you another packet free.
MUM Free..there's no such thing as free felt-tips, Jo.

SYLVIA Yes. I know who you are.
GARY Still got plenty of stuff left, then, have you?
SYLVIA Well, it's not been a bad day.
GARY Of course not, darling. It takes a bit of time to get started though, doesn't it? There's a lot to learn. Ooh, a lot to learn. See you later, darling.
SYLVIA Grrrr.
GARY All right girls, this is an end of the day special. For your strawberries, lovely strawberries, fresh in this morning, you can't do better than to come to your old friend Gary.I'm not asking two pound twenty a kilo, I'm not asking two pound a kilo...

SYLVIA Hello... hello... yes, can I speak to Miles, please?... Yes, sure.... Hello, Miles?... Oh, I'm sorry.... No. I'd like to speak to Miles Davison. Yes, okay... Hello, Miles?... He's gone home? Right, well... can I leave a message? Yes, can you tell him that Sylvia called about her order for tomorrow? The fruit and vegetable order. Not good news, I'm afraid. Right, thanks. Bye.
GINA Hi, everything all right?
SYLVIA Hello again. Have you had a nice day?
GINA Fine, thanks, yes. I'm just on my way home.
SYLVIA Oh, right.
GINA Are you sure you're all right?
SYLVIA Oh, yes. It's just... well, I was just on the phone trying to cancel my fruit and vegetable order for tomorrow. Yes, I can see that running a stall is not going to be as easy as I thought, especially with people like my friend Gary around.
GINA All right, girls?
GARY Oh. That's my mobile... Hello.... Oh great. Magic. So, Florida, is it? Beautiful. That's it, seven nights, sea view. Smashing. Now, what can you do about the price?... Come on, darling, I know you can do better than that... Have a chat with the boss, darling... Yeah, tell him it's Gary, give me a ring back.
GINA Are you going away, Gary?
GARY That's right, darling. Thought I deserved it. What do you say?
GINA Are I'm sure you do.
GARY I'm off on Sunday, as it happens. A week in Florida. Have you ever been there? Beautiful it is.
SYLVIA And what's happening to your stall then?
GARY Oh, don't you worry, darling. Gary's fruit and veg stall never closes. My cousin Lemmy's going to mind it for me for the week. You'll like him, you will. He makes me look like a pussy cat.
ISABEL Oh. Hello. Can I speak to Dave, please? Oh. Can I leave a message? Can you say, Isabel rang and could he call me back. Thank you, bye.
