| Tim: | We're on our way to Deutschland, Deutschland! |
| Helen: | Tim, what's got into you? |
| Tim: | The promise of two gorgeous, free world cup tickets, that's what! |
| Alice: | That's fantastic. Can I go with you, please? |
| Tim: | No, it's a boy thing - Michal, ready for action? |
| Helen: | Well that's just typical! You're such a sexist, old-fashioned bore Tim. What makes you think Alice and I don't want to see the match? |
| Tim: | Oh-oh. OK, anything to keep the peace. Sorry Michal. |
| Michal: | Don't worry. Helen, how should we decide who goes with Tim? |
| Helen: | Oh stop trying to get on my good side - it's not working. |
| Tim: | Well? |

| Tim: | OK everyone's name in the hat then. |
