Episode 52: The BBQ

Michal: Hi, come on in and have a drink. We're just firing up the barbecue.
Khalid: Oh, it's nice to see you outside the classroom my friend. Thanks for inviting me.
Helen: Oh it's lovely to meet you Khalid. Michal's told us all about you.
Tim: So, who's for the best grub over hot coals this summer?
All: Me! Yes please! Wonderful!
Alice: Drinks anyone? Can I get you a top-up Dr Laver?
Dr Laver: Oh come on. We've been working together for how long, looked after how many babies? I'm here at your party. Please, my name's Paul. And how about a dance before that drink?
Alice: Oh, OK!
John: Great party! Thanks so much for asking me.
Helen: Maybe it is time for us to patch it up. But I didn't invite you.
John: Well, here's a toast to the secret peace-maker.
Helen: I'll drink to that!
