Episode 26: Planning a meal
Michal: Alice was only helping me!
Helen: I'm sorry Michal, I didn't mean to fly off the handle. What's wrong?
Michal: I was just telling Alice I wanted to eat better but that I didn't know how to cook any of
my favourite dishes.
Helen: Mm, let's think about this. I know! Chinese New Year is coming up soon. Why don't we
make a special Chinese-Polish dinner together! We'll both do research, find typical
recipes, buy all the ingredients.
Michal: And cook a meal together! You do the main course, and I'll make the pudding!
Helen: Sounds like a perfect second date, don't you think?
Episode 27: The hungry cat
Tim: I don't believe it! Kitty's just eaten my dinner. I was putting the kettle on and I turned round
and there she was, eating my chicken. That cat's a pain in the neck.
Alice: Oh calm down.
Tim: It drives me mad! I'm starving, I've been slaving away in that dusty old stockroom all day. I
hate work just now and then this happens! The cat's got to go or be put down.
Helen: Don't be horrible. You can buy something else to eat.
Tim: We're not all as rich as you, you know, daddy's girl!
Helen: How dare you Tim! I didn't eat your chicken. You drive me up the wall sometimes.
Alice: Hey guys, chill out.
Episode 28: The year of the dog
Alice: Happy Chinese New Year Helen! What are you doing?
Helen: Reading about our Chinese astrology signs.
Alice: Oh do tell.
Helen: Well, I was born in '86 so I'm a tiger. I have an air of authority and am courageous but I'm
also prone to emotional outbursts and react poorly under stress.
Alice: Oh, what am I?
Helen: You are 3 years older than me so you're a pig.
Alice: A pig? Charming!
Helen: No, it's different in Chinese culture. A Chinese pig is magnanimous and highly intelligent.
You're a perfectionist but venomous if you're crossed.
Alice: It's all true! What about Michal?
Helen: Well, he's 21 so he's an ox. He's dependable, methodical, honest, unbiased but introverted
too.
Alice: Ooh, so does that bode well for you two or not?
Episode 29: A secret admirer
Helen: It's Valentine's Day. There's a card for you Alice. Who is it from?
Alice: Give me a minute. Let me read it first...It says:
"Oh Nurse Alice. You're the queen of my palace.
I don't know if you care for me. But I must tell my feelings free.
Who knows what's in store. Do you find me an awful bore?
Are we really poles apart? Or could you nurse me and my heart?
Your CPR breathes life anew. May mine fill you with passion true?"
Oh, isn't that romantic?
Helen: Yes, but who's it from?
Alice: It's a valentine, there's no signature.
Helen: But who do you think it's from? There are quite a few clues in the card.
Episode 30: Career decisions
Tim: Hi Alice, what are you reading?
Alice: Oh. It's about maternity and baby care. They've asked me to change wards.
Tim: But you love working in the emergency wards.
Alice: Yes, well.I want to work with Dr. Laver.
Tim: Dr. Laver?
Alice: He specialises in looking after children. He's a great doctor, really friendly with the patients.
Tim: I see. And he's not bad looking, I suppose?
Alice: Don't be ridiculous! I'm thinking about my career.
Tim: But you want your own children. Don't you think it'd be horrible looking after other people's
kids?
Alice: Yeah, that's the problem. So I haven't decided whether to take the job or not.
