Episode 40: Right or wrong?

Michal:	You did what?
Helen:	I had to Michal. I had no choice.
Michal:	Haven’t you got any morals? You know that you’re supposed to stick to your friends.
Helen:	How could I? He cheated. The professor knew. She had me over a barrel.
Michal:	How you say in English? ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’? You didn’t turn out to be a very good friend, did you?
Helen:	Listen Michal …
Michal:	No, you listen for a change. You’re selfish and two-faced Helen. It makes me worry about what you’re saying about me behind my back. Now, leave me alone. I don’t ever want to speak to you again!
Helen:	Oh no Michal!
