Episode 97: Negotiating
Tim: Helen can I talk to you?
Helen: OK but nothing heavy. I'm not in the mood.
Tim: It's just that I don't think I can make the rent this month.
Helen: Oh Tim! What am I supposed to do?
Tim: I just think there needs to be some fairness around here. Khalid's only paying 75 pounds a week. I'm unemployed and I think I should be paying the same.
Helen: Sorry Tim. No can do.
Tim: But that's not fair!
Helen: Listen Tim, life's not fair. I love Michal but I'm never going to see him again. That's life! I'm dealing with my problems. Now, grow up and deal with your own!
Tim: Thanks for the sympathy.
