| Episode 54: A mother daughter chat | |
| Michal: | Helen, this place is enormous! |
| Helen: | It's just a house, don't get so overexcited by it. And promise me you won't treat me differently after this visit. |
| Mum: | Hello! Just drop your bags anywhere dears. Michal, will you get daddy in from the garden? Then we'll all have a nice cup of Chinese tea together. |
| Michal: | Of course. |
| Mum: | Oh Helen, he's adorable! I know I said you were too young for love but that was ages ago and it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. |
| Helen: | Mum, I think he's the one! |
| Mum: | Oh me too, I watched you two coming up the path and I saw how you looked at him. Do I hear wedding bells? |
| Helen: | Don't say that, you'll jinx us! |
