Episode 16: A kitchen romance

Michal:	Oh Bronka! I’m so miserable! Alice doesn’t want to go out with me.
Helen:	Oh sorry, Michal. Am I interrupting something here?
Michal:	No, no, I’m just pouring my heart out to Bronka.
Helen:	Oh yeah, I found out that Alice gave you a knock-back but it’s not the end of the world. There are plenty more fish in the sea you know.
Michal:	Fish? I don’t want a fish, I want a date!
Helen:	Well, there’s someone right in front of you!
Michal:	You’re always too busy studying. You wouldn’t go out with a guy like me.
Helen:	Oh wouldn’t I? Why don’t you ask first!
Michal:	Would you?
Helen:	I’d love to!
