| Episode 34: Helen to the rescue | |
| Michal: | I told you so! |
| Tim: | Hurry up, I'm getting soaked! |
| Helen: | What's going on here? What a mess! Dad'll kill me. |
| Michal: | It's the water. Tim didn't turn off it before trying to fix the tap. |
| Helen: | Honestly Tim! You're as thick as two short planks sometimes. Michal, turn the water off. Tim, give me the spanner. I'll soon have this sorted. |
| Tim: | What shall I do? |
| Helen: | Get the mop, of course! I want this floor as dry as a bone now! Dad's coming round later to check the flat. |
| Tim: | Is he? |
| Tim and Michal: | Oh no! |
| Helen: | No, I'm just winding you up! |
