The Flatmates episode 15 (including Video/ Vocabulary)

Episode 15: A heart-to-heart
Helen:	Hello?
Alice:	Hi Helen.
Helen:	What's up Alice?
Alice:	It's so quiet at work I thought I'd give you a ring. A little bird told me that the landlord is your dad!
Helen:	How did you find out?
Alice:	Never mind about that. Why have you been keeping it a secret for so long?
Helen:	Well because as soon as people know how rich my parents are, they start treating me differently. When you and Tim came to live here I wanted to start afresh so I decided not to tell anyone.
Alice:	Oh Helen you're such a silly goose! I promise, it won't make any difference to us! So no more secrets OK?
Helen:	OK then.
