Episode 3: At the pub
Tim: It's your round Alice
Alice: What, again? Alright, what do you all want?
Helen: An orange juice please.
Michal: The same for me too.
Tim: Oh come on Michal, you're not in Poland now. Why not try a traditional pint of English bitter?
Michal: OK then.
Tim: And the usual for me — a G & T, love
Alice: Em, OK.
Helen: Don't call Alice «love».
Tim: Why not, isn't she lovely? Michal, what do you think?
