Episode 80: Skating on thin ice

Alice: Are you enjoying yourself, Helen?
Helen: Do you know what? I'm having a really good time. Thanks for dragging me out, guys.
Tim: It's just nice to see you smiling, Helen.
Helen: Hey, is that Paul over there?
Tim: Hey yeah, it is him, isn't it?
Helen: It is, you know, but who's that with him? Are they his kids? Alice? Has Paul got children?
Alice: Yes, he's got two children actually.
Tim: So that means he's got a wife.
Alice: They're not together any more, and they're getting a divorce.
Tim: Are you sure about that?
Alice: Well, that's what he told me, and I believe him. He's a good man.
Helen: Ooh, Alice, you're skating on very thin ice.
Alice: Maybe I am Helen, but I can't let him go.
Helen: You really love him, don't you?
Alice: Helen, I really do.
