What exactly is going on in Bruno's garage?

(Select all the TRUE statements from the dialogue you just heard)

Nigel Pilkington wants to sell Horatio's perfumes in his chain of stores.

This statement is true. Nigel tells Bruno that he must have his fragrances for his stores. "A chain" of stores is a "franchise" or series of stores of the same name, and often under the same ownership.

Horatio's perfumes are ready to be sold in stores.

This statement is not true. Bruno explains that Horatio's perfumes are just "prototypes", and that they are not yet ready to be sold in stores.

Nigel wants noodles AND rice.

There is no evidence that this is true. Noodles AND rice? Why not some potatoes and bread while you're stuffing yourself with carbs and starches... you monster!

Nigel Pilkington wants to negotiate with Horatio Oléré initially.

This statement is true. Nigel tells Bruno that he would like to discuss the matter of the perfumes "directly with their creator". The creator of these perfumes is Horatio Oléré.
