| 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! |
