Tim: How can I help you sir?
Customer: It’s about this watch.
Tim: What seems to be the problem?
Customer: The alarm doesn’t work and the strap leaves a green mark on my wrist when I take it off.
Tim: Have you worn the watch in the shower perhaps sir?
Customer: No and I only bought it two weeks ago. It’s still under guarantee but I must say, for the amount of money I paid for it, I’m very disappointed.
Tim: I’m so sorry you’ve been inconvenienced. Would you like a refund?
Customer: No, I’d rather have the watch replaced please.
Tim: Right, well, I’ll just take down your purchasing details and we’ll get this watch changed for you in no time at all.

Tim: Yeah and just tidy up that display now. Oh good morning madam.
Customer: Hello. It’s nice to see you on this side of the counter for a change.
Tim: Yes, I’ve been promoted. I’m an Assistant Manager now!
Customer: Oh does your ambition know no bounds? Congratulations!
Tim: Thank you. Now how can I help you today?
Customer: It’s more about how I can help you. I’ve got the option of some World Cup tickets and, quelle suprise, football bores me silly. Would you care for them?
Tim: I’d love them! But I could never afford them.
Customer: Well, that’s where you’re wrong. Just keep a gal company over lunch some time soon and they’re yours for nothing…

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!

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?

Mum: Love? Love! There’s plenty of time for that later. Get your head out of the clouds and back into your books. Do you hear me?

Janet: Sorry?
Tim : I said ‘I’ve always seen myself as a bit of a self-made man’.
Janet: So a guy who’s not afraid of hard work.
Tim: Exactly! It’s just that there hasn’t been much hard work around lately.
Janet: Well, what if I told you you’re wrong?
Tim: I’d love to be wrong about that.
Janet: Well, a dear friend of mine is retiring and heading off to the sun. He’s looking for someone to take over the reins of his small business. And I thought you might just be the man for the job.
Tim: But how could I? I mean, I’d need some money to start with. How would I do it? A business all of my own?
Janet: Tim. What do you say?

Khalid: Yeah but just a quick puff.
Tim: It doesn’t matter how tiny it is, you can’t smoke here.
Khalid: Why not? It’s not as if I’m smoking in the kitchen or the sitting room where is everyone.
Tim: Rules is rules mate. Cigarettes aren’t allowed and that’s that.
Khalid: It’s just cos you haven’t got a job, you’re hanging around the house spying on me.
Tim: I’m not. I’m just trying to save you the grief of the health lecture from Nurse Alice!
Khalid: Thanks Tim. I’ll put the kettle on for us both, OK?

Alice: I’m sure you don’t.

Helen: Dad, Khalid likes the room, and he wants to move in, but he wants to know if you can knock a bit off the rent.
Helen’s dad: Helen, you know I can’t allow it. Everybody has to pay the same.
Helen: I know dad, but we put the advert in the Gazette for 2 weeks, and he’s the only person who’s anywhere near suitable. It’s going to cost a fortune if you have to keep advertising.
Helen’s dad: But why couldn’t you find anybody through the ad?
Helen: I don’t know dad, I can’t make people call. All I know is, Khalid’s just right for the room, but if you want him to move in, you’ll have to let him have a discount.
Helen’s dad: Well, I suppose I could let him have a small reduction. But what are you going to say to Alice and Tim?
