  • Thanks for the coffee, Neil.

  • What a good idea to present the English We Speak from a coffee shop.

  • Yes, Lee, it's good to get out of the studio.

  • And anyway, I get the coffee for free here.

  • You don't pay for it, so why do you get it for free?

  • Contacts.

  • Contacts?

  • Yeah.

  • People I know.

  • Don't tell anyone, but my friend works here and, well, when the boss isn't around, he gives me the coffee for free.

  • He gives it to you for free?

  • Shh.

  • Keep your voice down.

  • If he gets found out, he'll get the sack, you know, lose his job.

  • We need to keep a lid on it.

  • Keep a lid on it.

  • Why do we need to keep a lid on the coffee?
