| Episode 10: Choosing a film | |
| Alice: | 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 fine ladies and gents from ages ago, long dresses and grand houses. What kind of films do you like - action, adventure, musicals? |
| Michal: | Films about people living in the future, on other planets. |
| Alice: | Oh, sci-fi - not really my thing. |
| Michal: | Well, what about Nightmare on Elm Street? They're showing that again here. |
| Alice: | No thanks, horror films don't do it for me. |
| Michal: | Well, why don't you choose? |
| Alice: | No, you invited me out, you choose. |
| Michal: | No, I insist. |
