Episode 78: Not much luck

Helen: ... no, no, that's ok, thanks for calling ... I hope you'll find somewhere soon - bye!
Tim: Was that another call about the room?
Helen: Yeah, but he works right over the other end of town. He said the commute would be too much.
Alice: Mmm, the last one said that too, didn't he?
Helen: I know. We're not having much luck here.
Tim: What about the guy who came round yesterday?
Helen/Alice: No!!!
Helen: Eeeww, he was really creepy.
Alice: I know ... the one before that was alright though ... clean-cut.
Helen: He was very respectable, but a bit posh, I thought ...
Tim: So, what happened to him then?
Helen: He said it was too expensive. Do you think we should put the advert in the paper for another week?
