categories: Uncategorized

Tim: Hurry up in there.
Khalid: I’ll be out in a minute.
Tim: Oh, it stinks in here. Khalid, have you been smoking?
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?

Episode 92: The cost of living
Tim: So how are you settling in then Khalid?
Khalid: There is going well Tim. You’ve all been really friendly, footy in the park and cups of teas in the afternoon. I can’t believe I get all this for only £75 a week.
Tim: How much?
Khalid: £75. I know it’s less than what you’re paying but us students need every discount we can get.
Tim: Oh yeah, I, I knew you’d got a discount, I just didn’t realise how much of one you’d wangled.
Khalid: Did I put my foot in it?
Tim: No, no Khalid but there’s, there’s an old saying “If you don’t ask, you don’t get” so maybe it’s time for this jobless one to start negotiating a bit too.

Episode 89: Tim fights back
Tim: I won’t do it! You swapped the real watches for the fake ones and now you’re trying to wriggle out of it.
Boss: Tim, you’re making some very serious allegations. Do you actually have any hard evidence?
Tim: Well, I bet the police do. I bet it’s only a matter of time before you’re behind bars, where you should be.
Boss: I don’t think so. You’re the one who sold the watches and if anyone’s going to prison, it’s you, Tim. But whatever happens, I think our working relationship is about to come to an end, don’t you?
Tim: You mean you’re firing me?
Boss: I’m sorry Tim, I think I’m going to have to let you go.
Tim: Oh no, you can’t fire me, because you know what? I quit!!!

Paul: No! Alice, there’s no-one else, at least not in the way you think.
Alice: Not in the way I think? What does that mean? Just tell me Paul, what’s going on?
Paul: Alice, I’ve been trying to tell you this for weeks now, but I’ve been afraid of your reaction. The truth is. the truth is that I was married for several years, but my wife left me eighteen months ago.
