| Episode 52: The BBQ | |
| Michal: | Hi, come on in and have a drink. We're just firing up the barbecue. |
| Khalid: | Oh, it's nice to see you outside the classroom my friend. Thanks for inviting me. |
| Helen: | Oh it's lovely to meet you Khalid. Michal's told us all about you. |
| Tim: | So, who's for the best grub over hot coals this summer? |
| All: | Me! Yes please! Wonderful! |
| Alice: | Drinks anyone? Can I get you a top-up Dr Laver? |
| Dr Laver: | Oh come on. We've been working together for how long, looked after how many babies? I'm here at your party. Please, my name's Paul. And how about a dance before that drink? |
| Alice: | Oh, OK! |
| John: | Great party! Thanks so much for asking me. |
| Helen: | Maybe it is time for us to patch it up. But I didn't invite you. |
| John: | Well, here's a toast to the secret peace-maker. |
| Helen: | I'll drink to that! |
