| 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! |
