Arabic term or phrase: Sound file: http://www.mediafire.com/?bcsc2caxe4mt788
Someone said on a chat that I speak Arabic. I can't speak it well but they began discussing about it, I think. Someone even said that I am in love with that woman. I am not. Anyways everything went well. But what were they saying in Arabic? Thank you!

This is from a chat room. I hope that their dialect is easy to understand. The guy is from Saudi Arabia.

I would be greatful if you could get a word for word explanation for what they said. Thank you. :)
