Joe} Hey .
Hayley} Hey .
Joe} What are you up to ?.
Hayley} Oh nothing really .
Hayley} Can I show you something ?.
Joe} Yeah, what is it ?.
Hayley} Just sit down .
Joe} Ok, why do you want me to sit down ?.
Hayley} Just do it .
Joe} Ok fine [ sits down} Now what ?.
Hayley} Now give me your hand .
Joe} Are you going to kill me ?.
Hayley} No .
Joe} So, what is this then ?.
Hayley} I am not Google , just follow my instructions .
Joe} This is creeping me out .
Hayley} Yeah, everything creeps you out .
Joe} That’s not true .
Hayley} Yes, it is true .
{Joe rolls his eyes at Hayley }
Hayley} I know how to read palms .
Joe} Oh, can you now ?.
Hayley} Yes I can .
Joe} Well, can you read mine ?.
Hayley} Yes, I’ll try it .
{Hayley starts reading his palm }
Joe} What is happening ?.
Hayley} I am reading your palm .
Joe} Ok well, tell me my whole personal life story .
Hayley} As in what ?.
Joe}`Like, when I’ll get married, if I’ll have children and when I’ll die .
Hayley} Oh, I don’t know that part yet .
Joe} This is absolutely pointless , why did you say that you knew how to do this then ?.
Hayley} I am good at it, but I never learned a degree in it , if you want to know the real life thing, you are gonna have to call a proper person who specialises in those sorts of things .
Joe} You know what ?, that’s a good idea , I know a person who does that sort of thing too .
Hayley} Oh no, I was just joking, you are not really gonna call a fortune teller , aren’t you ?.
Joe} Yes I am, and I’m going to book a visit too .
Hayley} How much is it , per visit ?.
Joe} Probably about 50 pounds , something like that .
Hayley} What ?.
Joe} 50 quid, is that fine ?.
Hayley} Yes, but 50 quid, ain’t that a bit too much ?.
Joe} Well, what’s the average price for a reading ?.
Hayley} Well, I was thinking up to about 20 quid .
Joe} Hayley, this the real world , you don’t pay a visit for 1 pound .
Hayley} I tell you, I’m a professional fortune teller .
Joe} No, you are not .
Hayley} Ok, explain the reason why .
Joe} You literally stood there , like you had a stroke , you don’t know anything about fortune telling , face it .
Hayley} Ok well, it’s not like the fortune teller is a professional either .
Joe} Well, we are gonna go and see one .
Hayley} Well, where’s the place ?.
Joe} There’s a place down Wood Green .
Hayley} Ok, we’ll go then .
{They got to the place }
Fortune Teller} Hello, who are these people ?.
Volunteer } Remember, these are the people who booked a visit .
Fortune Teller} Oh Hello .
Joe} Oh hello .
Fortune Teller} Come and take a seat .
Hayley} Thank you .
Joe} Ok, can we please get to the point , we don’t have much time .
{Fortune Teller pulls out the fortune telling globe }
Joe} Woah, what the hell is that ?.
Hayley} I have no idea .
Joe} Hey, do you know what that thing looks like ?.
Hayley} What does it look like ?.
Joe} It looks like that globe what the witches had in the Wizard of Oz .
Hayley} Oh yeah, that is very true .
Fortune Teller} Ok, I see a future , that is very clear .
Joe} Oh really ?.
Hayley} Yeah, I see many things in line for you .
Joe} Yes, get in , what job will I have ?.
Fortune Teller} You’ll be a lawyer .
Joe} A Lawyer .
Hayley} Hah a lawyer, Omg, way to go, Joe .
Joe} Shut up, this is bullshit .
Hayley} What is there for me ?.
Fortune Teller} I see some very unusual things .
Hayley} Huh ?.
Fortune Teller} Do you want any further information ?.
Hayley} Yes, of course I do .
Fortune Teller} In 3 years time, you’ll be working very independantly .
Hayley} Yes get in .
Fortune Teller} You’ll be working as a supermarket assistant .
Hayley} What now ?.
Joe} Ha Ha Ha, a supermarket assistant , can you get me some onions please ?, ha ha .
Hayley} This is utter bullshit, I want a bloody refund , can I have my 50 quid back , yeah thank you, I’m going now .
Joe} Hayley, what the ?.
Hayley} it is very shit , waste of time , all of that to to know that I’m going to be a supermarket assistant , uh uh , not today .
Joe} Yeah, but I got Lawyer, that’s much worse, nothing can top that .
Hayley} Yeah but that’s normal , what else am I gonna do ?, just stand there , selling bananas like ” Who wants bananas ?, come and have a look , bananas for a pound , yeah right .
Joe} That isn’t so bad .
Hayley} Yes it is, you don’t realize, my future is mucked up .
Joe} No it isn’t .
Hayley} Yes it is, the shit hit the fan .
Joe} Do you actually know what supermarket assistants do ?.
Hayley} Yes I do, don’t ask me that question , they are like people who turn shops into circuses , that’s not gonna be my job .
Joe} Hayley, they don’t do entertainment , they stack shelves .
Hayley} Oh, that’s even worse , forget that .
Joe} Anyway, change of subject .
Hayley} What is it ?.
Joe} I’m going to steal the globe .
Hayley} What globe ?, what are you talking about ?.
Joe} Do you know that globe, what the fortune teller had , Yeah, I’m taking it .
Hayley} Why are you gonna do that ?.
Joe} You’ll see .
Hayley} How are you gonna steal it from her ?.
Joe} I’m going to hypnotize her .
Hayley} Oh, don’t do that .
{Meanwhile, Joe’s in the fortune telling booth }
Fortune Teller} Hello, what are you here for ?.
Joe hypnotizing the fortune teller}
{The fortune teller falls asleep }
{Joe picks up the globe }
Hayley} Did you get it ?.
Joe} Yes, here it is .
Hayley} you are seriously crazy , why did you steal it ?.
Joe} It’s free, the person is probably loaded, the person’s got a butler, she could just replace it .
Hayley} We are not keeping that .
Joe} Yes we are, it looks really cool .
Hayley} But, will it do witchcraft ?.
Joe} No, don’t be silly .
Hayley} Ok, well if you want to keep it, put it in your house .
Joe} Yeah ok .
{ They got home }
Joe} This thing is very cool ,
Hayley} Yeah, I know .
Joe} Do you think that there are real souls in this globe ?.
Hayley} No , I don’t think so , don’t be a fantasist , it’s just a snow globe .
Joe} Don’t say that .
Hayley} Ok, I’m still very pissed off at our futures though .
Joe} Yeah, It’s mainly you though, I’m fine with the rumor of being a lawyer .
Hayley} Being an assistant in a supermarket is nothing special , you just specialize in handling food products , is that what I want to do for my future job ?, it’s not even my dream .
Joe} Well being a lawyer was not my dream either, we just got it, but remember, the person didn’t look like a professional , she probably just does it for fun .
Hayley} Really ?, cause if that is real, I am very pissed off at everything that happened .
Joe} Hey, I know what would cheer you up, .
Hayley} What ?.
Joe} We should deliver the globe to Daisy .
Hayley} isn’t that like giving in , it isn’t vile .
Joe} I know, but the lights could give her migraines , that’s pretty much the superise .
Hayley} Ok, let’s go .
{They arrived at Daisy’s door }
{They knocked on the door }
Daisy} Oh not you guys again, what do you guys want this time ?.
Joe} We thought that we’d give you this snow globe .
Hayley} Yeah, as a gift .
Daisy} Oh, this looks like very nice, I like the colors .
Hayley} Yeah, we like them too .
Joe} Ok, we need to go now, we have to catch a film .
Hayley} Yeah .
Daisy} Ok, thanks guys , see ya .
Joe} See ya .
Hayley} Well that went well .
Joe} Yeah, it did .
The next morning .
Joe} Hayley , Hayley, Hayley .
Hayley} What is it .
Joe} Is that the globe, hanging by the window ?.
Hayley} Yes it is , what is it doing there ?.
Joe} No idea .
Hayley} I know who did this .
Joe} Who is it ?.
Hayley} It’s Daisy and the rest of the group, innit ?.
Joe} Yeah, idiots .
Hayley} I just wish that it would set a curse on them or something .
Joe} Yeah .
