Michal: What are you going to call her? How about Bronka? That's a good Polish name.

Alice: Mm, I think she looks more like a Co-Co...Oh, hi Helen, meet our new flatmate. We just need to find a name for her.

Helen: Em, I don't think so. You know we're not allowed pets in the flat. It's against the rules.
