Episode 42: A raffle

Tim:	We’re on our way to Deutschland, Deutschland!
Helen:	Tim, what’s got into you?
Tim:	The promise of two gorgeous, free world cup tickets, that’s what!
Alice:	That’s fantastic. Can I go with you, please?
Tim:	No, it’s a boy thing – Michal, ready for action?
Helen:	Well that’s just typical! You’re such a sexist, old-fashioned bore Tim. What makes you think Alice and I don’t want to see the match?
Tim:	Oh-oh. OK, anything to keep the peace. Sorry Michal.
Michal:	Don’t worry. Helen, how should we decide who goes with Tim?
Helen:	Oh stop trying to get on my good side – it’s not working.
Tim:	Well?
Helen:	There’s only one fair way – a raffle.
Tim:	OK everyone’s name in the hat then.
