It’s so quiet at work I thought I’d give you a ring. A little bird told me that the landlord is your dad! How did you find out!
Never mind about that. Why have you been keeping it a secret for so long?
Well because as soon as people know how rich my parents are, they start treating me differently. When you and Tim came to live here I wanted to start afresh so I decided not tell anyone.
Oh Helen you’re such a silly goose! I promise, it won’t make any difference to us! So no more secrets. OK? (2)
Can I help you madam?
I’m looking for a man’s watch.
Well we have a sumptuous selection here: sports, evening, everyday watches. do you see anything you like?
Oh, I rather like that one.
Impeccable taste, madam. Now, just take it over to the cash till there and they’ll wrap it up for you. (3)
So how was the cinema for you two?
How many times do I have to say this-that wasn’t a date! (4)
Well that movie was much better than I expected. It was really romantic. thank you. Oh it’s my pleasure.
Would you like to do it again-go out on another date with me? Another date? Michal, that wasn’t a date we were on there. It wasn’t? I thought it was. No, we are just good friends.
Yes, we are good friends and I’d like us to be better friends so I’m going to ask you: would you like to go out with me? (5)
Studying hard as ever. Can I ask you something as our landlord? Our lease says that we’re not allowed animals in the flat. Well , is there a way that we could get around that? You see, Alice found this kitten and everyone really wants to keep her.
You have a cat in my flat? Oh Helen, why can’t you ever obey the rules? Oh dad! Please, won’t you bend them for me? Well….. Please.
Just this once.
What a dark horse Helen is. (6)
Oh, what do you fancy seeing? There’s must Love Dogs-a rom-com. Oh I love romantic comedies, don’t you? Pride and prejudice is on-I adore period dramas. You know all those find ladies and gents from ages ago, long dresses and grand houses. What kind of films do you like- action, adventure, musicals?
Films about people living in the future, on other planets. Oh, sci-fi not really my thing.
Well, what about Nightmare on Elm Street? They’re showing that again here. No thanks, horror films don’t do it for me. Well, why don’t you choose?
No, you invited me out, you choose. (7)
Oh no, it’s that time of the month again-time to pay the rent. Comes round fast enough, doesn’t it?
Yeah and I’m so broke just now. I don’t know where my money goes.
You need to tighten your belt Alice. Well, I’m fairly flush this month, want me to lend you some cash? (8)
Morning campers!
Ooh, not so loud, my head’s killing me.
I’m feeling awful too. I’ve got a pain stomach. My head hurts…..
Welcome to your first British hangover Michal! What you need now is a good fry-up. Bleugh! Oh, morning Helen. You look as bad as I feel. Have you been crying? No, no of course not. Just burning the midnight oil studying, studying, studying. (9)
What’s wrong with you?
Nothing! You know I think Michal really likes you. Don’t be daft! He’s only being polite. Do you thing so?
Yes and why are you so interested all of a sudden?
No, no reason really. Look, I’ve got to get back to the flat, I’ve got loads of studying to do.
