00:49:41,687 --> 00:49:43,027
Contacted it?
706
00:49:43,105 --> 00:49:45,105
You practically married it.
707
00:49:50,988 --> 00:49:54,868
Perhaps one day I'll
be as tall and manly
708
00:49:55,576 --> 00:49:58,576
and as nifty with
Microsoft Word as Melik.
709
00:49:59,455 --> 00:50:00,575
Melik.
710
00:50:05,127 --> 00:50:07,257
The computer guy? Melik?
711
00:50:07,338 --> 00:50:08,678
Yes, Melik.
712
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:12,732
Well? Are you going to admit it?
713
00:50:13,844 --> 00:50:15,104
Admit what?
714
00:50:16,055 --> 00:50:17,145
Your lover.
715
00:50:21,143 --> 00:50:23,193
- Yes?
716
00:50:27,816 --> 00:50:29,686
That kid?
717
00:50:30,277 --> 00:50:34,247
That bald, sweaty nerd
in a badly-fitting T-shirt?
718
00:50:34,323 --> 00:50:35,953
Are you having a nervous breakdown?
719
00:50:36,033 --> 00:50:37,163
Admit it.
720
00:50:37,243 --> 00:50:40,203
How many times do you expect me to
believe your bloody laptop can go wrong?
721
00:50:40,204 --> 00:50:41,584
Admit it!
722
00:50:45,793 --> 00:50:48,223
You're ill!
723
00:50:59,139 --> 00:51:01,559
I saw how you were with him.
Tell me the truth.
724
00:51:01,642 --> 00:51:04,112
You're an idiot.
I've had enough of you.
725
00:51:04,478 --> 00:51:06,898
Meg, tell me the truth.
726
00:51:06,981 --> 00:51:10,161
Have I ever lied to you? Ever?
727
00:51:11,443 --> 00:51:13,373
What on earth was I thinking of,
728
00:51:13,445 --> 00:51:17,695
depriving myself of love, of sex,
of male company,
729
00:51:17,783 --> 00:51:19,463
to keep this pathetic thing going?
730
00:51:19,535 --> 00:51:21,375
I thought you were interested
in someone else.
731
00:51:21,453 --> 00:51:25,003
- It's me I want more of!
- Why? What for?
732
00:51:25,082 --> 00:51:27,462
- I want to sell the house.
- What?
733
00:51:27,543 --> 00:51:29,393
I'm to be thrown out
of my own home?
734
00:51:29,461 --> 00:51:31,961
- Get a flat.
- I don't have an income.
735
00:51:32,339 --> 00:51:34,559
MEG: Divorce happens
to everyone now.
736
00:51:35,718 --> 00:51:37,468
You went with a student!
737
00:51:37,553 --> 00:51:40,233
Fifteen years ago. How could
you bring that up now?
738
00:51:40,306 --> 00:51:42,396
Just as Jack was having
all those problems at school,
739
00:51:42,474 --> 00:51:46,704
all you said was, "He'll be fine."
I was out of my mind with worry.
740
00:51:47,104 --> 00:51:49,574
You couldn't believe that
any child of yours
741
00:51:49,648 --> 00:51:52,318
could possibly have
anything wrong with him.
742
00:51:52,401 --> 00:51:54,871
I was isolated.
You preferred the boys to me.
743
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:56,445
Do you blame me?
744
00:51:57,364 --> 00:51:59,494
NICK: Meg. Meg...
745
00:52:00,034 --> 00:52:02,914
If we go in there, our lives will
never be the same again.
746
00:52:02,995 --> 00:52:06,115
Great! Let's hurry,
let's open the door.
747
00:52:07,791 --> 00:52:11,221
In fact, why don't you stay out here
whingeing and complaining as usual?
748
00:52:11,295 --> 00:52:13,715
- I actually want to go to a party.
- (DOOR LOCK BUZZES)
749
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:15,547
Come on, Meg!
750
00:52:16,008 --> 00:52:17,348
Meg, please.
751
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,769
Fucking apologise!
752
00:52:22,097 --> 00:52:23,897
Why should I?
753
00:52:23,974 --> 00:52:27,954
You dressed up for him. You took him tea.
You hung around wearing that scent.
754
00:52:31,023 --> 00:52:32,703
I love you, Meg.
755
00:52:33,734 --> 00:52:35,334
Take that seriously.
756
00:52:38,656 --> 00:52:40,366
Love dies.
757
00:52:40,449 --> 00:52:41,919
Only if you kill it.
758
00:52:41,992 --> 00:52:44,502
- Fool, you really are.
- Call me paranoid.
759
00:52:44,578 --> 00:52:46,748
You are, you must be.
Melik!
760
00:52:46,830 --> 00:52:48,500
Cold, you.
You're frozen inside.
761
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:49,932
Frankly, you'd freeze a penguin.
762
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,750
NICK: Ha, ha. That's not fuckin' funny.
MEG: You're weak.
763
00:52:51,835 --> 00:52:55,085
You won't even get through this
evening without a nervous breakdown.
764
00:52:55,172 --> 00:52:57,302
- MORGAN: Welcome!
- Ah!
765
00:52:57,383 --> 00:52:59,853
Thank goodness, you made it.
That's so wonderful.
766
00:53:00,469 --> 00:53:02,389
- Ah! There we are.
- MEG: Hi.
767
00:53:02,471 --> 00:53:04,191
NICK: Not far to go.
Good evening.
768
00:53:04,264 --> 00:53:06,314
Welcome. Here, would you
like some champagne?
769
00:53:06,392 --> 00:53:08,392
- Thank you.
- Please. Come on in, come on in.
770
00:53:08,477 --> 00:53:10,607
I was worried you guys
weren't gonna make it.
771
00:53:10,688 --> 00:53:12,568
I almost had a thrombo.
Come on, come on.
772
00:53:12,648 --> 00:53:14,238
There are some great
people in here,
773
00:53:14,316 --> 00:53:15,936
and they're dying to meet you.
I've been talking you up.
774
00:53:16,026 --> 00:53:17,236
Thank you, Stéphane.
775
00:53:17,319 --> 00:53:18,699
MORGAN: I've been thinking
about you all day.
776
00:53:18,779 --> 00:53:19,829
NICK: You have?
777
00:53:21,031 --> 00:53:23,131
What gorgeous hell is this?
778
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,830
- Merci.
- Merci.
779
00:53:25,744 --> 00:53:27,374
NICK: Go on, go in.
780
00:53:27,454 --> 00:53:29,964
They're French. I'm sure
their lives are awful too.
781
00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:31,790
Don't leave me on my own.
782
00:53:31,875 --> 00:53:33,665
Isn't that what you want?
783
00:53:34,336 --> 00:53:35,586
There we are.
784
00:53:35,671 --> 00:53:37,341
Thought I'd lost you.
Come on in.
785
00:53:37,423 --> 00:53:39,803
I didn't see... Oh, look at that.
Come on in, I'll introduce you.
786
00:53:39,883 --> 00:53:43,813
I didn't see that black lacy...
I wish I had my sketch pad.
787
00:53:44,388 --> 00:53:48,058
May I introduce you
to all these talkative types?
788
00:53:48,142 --> 00:53:51,492
Hey, this is, uh, Nick, everybody.
789
00:53:51,562 --> 00:53:55,112
Well, here's Robert and Dominique
Ertel, my long-suffering publishers.
790
00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:56,740
They do all my stuff
here in France.
791
00:53:56,817 --> 00:54:01,447
This is my great old friend,
Nick Burrows, and his wife, Meg.
792
00:54:01,530 --> 00:54:04,410
They're from London.
He's a professor of philosophy.
793
00:54:04,491 --> 00:54:08,371
Meg, I'm so sorry, I didn't ask you.
Tell me what you do.
794
00:54:08,454 --> 00:54:10,174
- Writer?
- I'm a teacher.
795
00:54:10,247 --> 00:54:11,997
That's so interesting.
I wanna hear all about that.
796
00:54:12,082 --> 00:54:15,182
Jean-Pierre.
May I introduce our expert on Proust?
797
00:54:15,252 --> 00:54:17,102
- He's exaggerating.
- Not true.
798
00:54:17,171 --> 00:54:20,271
He's so good. And you're
currently translating Dickens.
799
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:21,890
Yeah. Bleak House.
800
00:54:21,967 --> 00:54:23,887
NICK: Oh!
MORGAN: Bleak House.
801
00:54:23,969 --> 00:54:27,439
Oh, yeah. Victoire Lachapelle,
the novelist, I'm sure you know,
802
00:54:27,514 --> 00:54:30,274
Américain, very successful...
803
00:54:31,101 --> 00:54:33,071
And Harry Rose, the sculptor,
804
00:54:33,145 --> 00:54:35,235
who's got a very interesting
show of drawings.
805
00:54:35,314 --> 00:54:38,364
- Where is that gallery?
- ROSE: Think and Do Gallery, St Honoré.
806
00:54:38,442 --> 00:54:40,912
I saw it, it's fantastic.
I highly recommend it.
807
00:54:40,986 --> 00:54:43,656
- Christophe Aragues.
- Ara-gueth.
808
00:54:43,739 --> 00:54:44,989
- Ara-gueth.
- (LAUGHS)
809
00:54:45,073 --> 00:54:47,873
He's a professor of
economics at the Sorbonne.
810
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:51,631
And Valentin Lefevre, who's an
economist at Le Monde.
811
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:53,045
Financial Times.
812
00:54:53,123 --> 00:54:56,843
The Financial Times.
Perhaps you've run into his stuff.
813
00:54:56,919 --> 00:55:01,049
And the Mona Lisa over there,
can you see, is my wife Eve.
814
00:55:01,131 --> 00:55:04,761
Hello, my darling.
Nick Burrows and Meg.
815
00:55:05,886 --> 00:55:06,886
Thank you.
816
00:55:06,970 --> 00:55:09,970
So there you go.
Hey, come with me, Nick.
817
00:55:10,057 --> 00:55:12,607
Can I steal your sweet husband away
for a sec?
818
00:55:12,684 --> 00:55:14,904
- Take him, do.
- What are you gonna say?
819
00:55:14,978 --> 00:55:16,098
Yeah, right.
820
00:55:16,188 --> 00:55:20,108
MORGAN: There you go. Okay.
821
00:55:30,327 --> 00:55:32,297
There you go.
822
00:55:32,371 --> 00:55:33,841
There you go, Nick.
823
00:55:34,456 --> 00:55:36,956
Oh, if I may.
(CHUCKLES)
824
00:55:37,251 --> 00:55:39,971
Thanks. Can't wait to read it.
825
00:55:40,254 --> 00:55:44,134
Oh, well, you know, it's actually
just a rehash of my old articles.
826
00:55:44,216 --> 00:55:48,216
But, you know, they put it into this book
and it took off for some reason.
827
00:55:48,303 --> 00:55:51,153
I got lucky, I guess.
It could happen to anybody.
828
00:55:51,223 --> 00:55:54,903
- It didn't happen to me.
- Well, you're too serious.
829
00:55:54,977 --> 00:55:58,777
You know, have you ever even said
anything slight in your whole life?
830
00:55:58,856 --> 00:56:02,106
I don't think so, not in the time
that I knew you. Here have a...
831
00:56:02,192 --> 00:56:04,072
Please have a seat.
832
00:56:04,653 --> 00:56:08,283
Over the years that I've sat in desks
like this and, you know,
833
00:56:08,365 --> 00:56:11,865
in those times when I've tried to
convince myself I had some kind of brain
834
00:56:11,952 --> 00:56:16,882
or just a little bit of
rigour and integrity,
835
00:56:16,957 --> 00:56:19,377
you know what I've thought
so often to myself?
836
00:56:19,459 --> 00:56:21,299
"What would Nick Burrows do now?
837
00:56:23,213 --> 00:56:24,973
"What would Nick say now?"
838
00:56:26,592 --> 00:56:28,062
- You have?
- Yes.
839
00:56:28,552 --> 00:56:30,552
Thank you so much.
Would you like something to eat?
840
00:56:30,971 --> 00:56:33,601
- No, merci.
- Are you sure? Thank you.
841
00:56:33,974 --> 00:56:35,694
Thank you. Is it, Ju...
842
00:56:35,767 --> 00:56:38,267
- WOMAN: Julie.
- Julie?
843
00:56:38,687 --> 00:56:40,307
MORGAN: Thank you, Julie.
844
00:56:44,818 --> 00:56:45,938
Eve.
845
00:56:46,945 --> 00:56:48,945
She's gonna eat me alive.
846
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:52,410
You know, I'm not...
I'm not a total idiot.
847
00:56:53,452 --> 00:56:54,452
But...
848
00:56:54,536 --> 00:57:00,006
Nick, I was so depressed and I was
just suffocating and I was dying.
849
00:57:00,500 --> 00:57:03,630
I was seeing every psychiatrist
on the Upper West Side.
850
00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:09,560
Until I finally found one who, of course,
told me what I wanted to hear
851
00:57:10,177 --> 00:57:12,347
and he released me
852
00:57:13,305 --> 00:57:16,055
and I slipped away from
my wife one morning
853
00:57:16,141 --> 00:57:18,111
without even taking my toothbrush.
854
00:57:19,061 --> 00:57:22,161
It was totally insane.
And I wound up here.
855
00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:26,160
But then, I decided to do the
whole thing all over again.
856
00:57:26,234 --> 00:57:28,584
Love, marriage and kids.
857
00:57:28,654 --> 00:57:31,624
And so now here I am...
858
00:57:32,574 --> 00:57:33,584
Mmm.
859
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:35,787
Enjoying...
860
00:57:36,536 --> 00:57:39,376
Keeping the Mona Lisa fascinated.
861
00:57:40,457 --> 00:57:41,627
And she adores me.
862
00:57:42,459 --> 00:57:44,629
Can't see through me... Yet.
863
00:57:44,878 --> 00:57:46,378
But we know she will.
864
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:48,720
I mean, she will.
865
00:57:50,926 --> 00:57:54,726
So am I brave or am I foolish?
866
00:57:55,973 --> 00:57:58,483
Why would you put yourself
through all that again?
867
00:58:01,770 --> 00:58:03,570
Because I'm vain.
868
00:58:03,647 --> 00:58:06,647
Because I'm just ridiculously vain.
869
00:58:06,733 --> 00:58:10,863
I wanna be adored and waited for
870
00:58:11,530 --> 00:58:13,000
and listened to.
871
00:58:13,782 --> 00:58:15,002
Don't you?
872
00:58:16,368 --> 00:58:17,958
I don't share your delusion.
873
00:58:19,663 --> 00:58:22,093
What do you mean, delusion?
How am I deluded?
874
00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:27,050
That by giving up on
someone, you're free.
875
00:58:30,966 --> 00:58:32,806
No, no, no.
876
00:58:33,260 --> 00:58:34,850
No, no. Mmm.
877
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:37,354
Mmm!
878
00:58:38,098 --> 00:58:40,018
Do you know what I
just flashed on?
879
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:42,320
Do you remember
those mornings at dawn
880
00:58:42,728 --> 00:58:48,698
that we would get up to sell those
newspapers in front of the factory gates?
881
00:58:48,775 --> 00:58:52,905
I think we sold about four of them before
the working-class heroes chased us away.
882
00:58:54,156 --> 00:58:56,776
I'll bet those factories
aren't even there any more.
883
00:58:57,117 --> 00:58:59,367
How about the Brecht play,
884
00:58:59,453 --> 00:59:02,963
that you put on at the ADC
with the Pink Floyd music?
885
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,210
Very brilliant. Very brilliant.
886
00:59:06,293 --> 00:59:07,723
Were those the days?
887
00:59:10,338 --> 00:59:11,558
Oh!
888
00:59:12,340 --> 00:59:13,510
Wow!
889
00:59:14,676 --> 00:59:17,766
I mean, we grew up so safe
and easy, that's the truth.
890
00:59:18,513 --> 00:59:22,813
You know, it's been just
a breeze for guys like us.
891
00:59:22,893 --> 00:59:25,493
- It has?
- Well, look at you, you know.
892
00:59:26,021 --> 00:59:29,031
Sitting comfortably in some
15th-century room,
893
00:59:29,608 --> 00:59:33,778
with your spectacularly
striking, beautiful wife.
894
00:59:34,196 --> 00:59:38,246
(CHUCKLES) A weekend cottage ¡n the
Cotswolds, I'll bet, and a Labrador,
895
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,210
the royalties from all your books and
a big pension at the end of all of it.
896
00:59:43,288 --> 00:59:45,168
Am I getting my serve
in the ballpark?
897
00:59:45,248 --> 00:59:48,748
And you've got smart, bearded friends
with whom you can discuss politics
898
00:59:48,835 --> 00:59:52,135
and philosophy while you all sing
along to Joni Mitchell records?
899
00:59:52,214 --> 00:59:54,424
- You see me more clearly
than I see myself.
900
00:59:54,442 --> 00:59:54,992
- (LAUGHS)
901
00:59:55,383 --> 00:59:59,393
I can... You know,
I can do a little thing.
902
00:59:59,471 --> 01:00:00,601
You know...
903
01:00:01,556 --> 01:00:04,476
(SIGHS) I think we've taken
too much out of the world.
904
01:00:05,143 --> 01:00:08,523
We were the spark. The '60s
and '70s lit the fuse, baby.
905
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:09,695
Really?
906
01:00:10,315 --> 01:00:13,485
Yeah. Feminism, racial equality,
human rights, all that stuff.
907
01:00:14,361 --> 01:00:17,991
Yeah, I wanna ignite
some kind of blaze, you know.
908
01:00:18,073 --> 01:00:22,373
I wanna go into the banlieues with
some good people and some money
909
01:00:22,869 --> 01:00:27,119
and, you know, have discussions,
political, literary, but shake things up.
910
01:00:27,207 --> 01:00:29,007
Do you wanna come with me?
911
01:00:29,084 --> 01:00:30,434
Me?
912
01:00:30,502 --> 01:00:34,852
I could put you down for, you know, 2K.
Neither of us'll miss that kind of money.
913
01:00:37,175 --> 01:00:38,635
Make it four.
914
01:00:38,718 --> 01:00:41,768
Make it 4K, I'll put a cheque
in the post tomorrow.
915
01:00:43,265 --> 01:00:44,605
Nick Burrows.
916
01:00:46,101 --> 01:00:47,521
I knew you'd get it.
917
01:00:48,979 --> 01:00:50,949
(SIGHS) Oh, I knew it.
918
01:00:53,275 --> 01:00:54,895
Here's to the future.
919
01:01:07,622 --> 01:01:09,752
- Are you an artist?
- I wish.
920
01:01:10,834 --> 01:01:12,844
Well, you...
You look like an artist.
921
01:01:14,254 --> 01:01:17,134
Perhaps it's your hair.
922
01:01:23,221 --> 01:01:25,601
So, what are you doing here?
923
01:01:26,266 --> 01:01:28,136
Yes, that's a good question.
924
01:01:28,685 --> 01:01:31,105
No, I mean,
what are you doing here in Paris?
925
01:01:31,188 --> 01:01:33,408
Oh, it's our wedding anniversary.
926
01:01:33,481 --> 01:01:36,661
EVE: (GASPS) Really?
Wow, how long?
927
01:01:37,736 --> 01:01:40,406
- Thirty years.
- That's amazing.
928
01:01:40,488 --> 01:01:42,078
Yes, it is, isn't it?
929
01:01:42,157 --> 01:01:45,247
Our children have left home.
Nearly.
930
01:01:45,744 --> 01:01:47,374
So now, we're alone together.
931
01:01:47,454 --> 01:01:49,804
And now you will have
time just for each other.
932
01:01:49,873 --> 01:01:51,473
Mmm.
933
01:01:53,210 --> 01:01:55,210
EVE: I know it's awful.
934
01:01:57,047 --> 01:02:00,797
I can't wait to be with him
every minute of the day.
935
01:02:01,843 --> 01:02:04,773
He knows everything.
I will never be bored by him.
936
01:02:04,846 --> 01:02:06,846
Suppose he's bored by you?
937
01:02:08,391 --> 01:02:10,391
Really? You think?
938
01:02:10,477 --> 01:02:12,317
I don't believe in that.
939
01:02:12,395 --> 01:02:13,515
"The one."
940
01:02:14,022 --> 01:02:17,202
MEG: There are many ones.
That's the problem.
941
01:02:17,275 --> 01:02:20,195
People start to murder you.
You have to be ruthless.
942
01:02:22,822 --> 01:02:25,202
My husband claimed
I was unfaithful.
943
01:02:25,367 --> 01:02:26,657
And what did you say?
944
01:02:29,537 --> 01:02:31,077
I thought,
945
01:02:31,164 --> 01:02:33,514
"What a waste.
946
01:02:34,167 --> 01:02:38,507
"To be accused of being a
whore and to be so innocent."
947
01:02:42,842 --> 01:02:44,312
I'm sorry.
948
01:02:44,386 --> 01:02:46,556
When's the baby due?
949
01:02:46,638 --> 01:02:48,728
Oh, it's for April.
950
01:03:39,274 --> 01:03:40,404
(MUSIC PLAYING IN EARPHONES)
951
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:42,450
NICK: Sorry.
952
01:03:42,527 --> 01:03:44,027
Who are you?
953
01:03:44,112 --> 01:03:46,112
Nick. I'm Nick.
954
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:52,660
Do you like that music?
955
01:03:54,372 --> 01:03:57,252
Uh... I like all music.
956
01:03:58,501 --> 01:03:59,751
I give it a go.
957
01:04:01,171 --> 01:04:03,271
Good for you.
958
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:04,430
Do you want a drink?
959
01:04:12,891 --> 01:04:15,741
Aren't you, um,
enjoying the party?
960
01:04:16,353 --> 01:04:18,953
I'm not sure enjoyment's
really my thing.
961
01:04:20,148 --> 01:04:21,738
I don't quite fit in.
962
01:04:22,525 --> 01:04:25,745
Even on my own, I don't fit in,
let alone with anyone else.
963
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:31,585
- You live here?
- Oh, I'm just here for the weekend.
964
01:04:34,579 --> 01:04:36,419
I live in New York.
965
01:04:36,498 --> 01:04:38,548
- Crikey.
- Yeah, Morgan's my dad.
966
01:04:39,125 --> 01:04:40,745
Oh, right.
967
01:04:43,421 --> 01:04:45,421
How's that? Not too bad?
968
01:04:47,425 --> 01:04:49,265
Does he talk in a loud
voice all the time?
969
01:04:54,057 --> 01:04:56,057
Even his emails are loud.
970
01:05:02,816 --> 01:05:03,856
JEAN-PIERRE: Hi.
971
01:05:05,610 --> 01:05:07,580
- Hi.
- Can I join you?
972
01:05:07,654 --> 01:05:09,664
Please do.
973
01:05:12,242 --> 01:05:14,242
- It's high up, yes?
- Yeah.
974
01:05:14,327 --> 01:05:16,047
It is.
975
01:05:21,334 --> 01:05:23,094
Do you know Paris well?
976
01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:25,389
No. No, not well.
977
01:05:27,799 --> 01:05:30,389
So we have, over there, the Louvre,
978
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,890
la Gare d'Orsay and the Tour
Montparnasse over there.
979
01:05:34,973 --> 01:05:37,773
- Mmm-hmm.
- Les Invalides.
980
01:05:37,851 --> 01:05:40,701
- L'Assemblée nationale.
- Oh, yes.
981
01:05:41,312 --> 01:05:42,562
L'Obelisk.
982
01:05:42,647 --> 01:05:45,367
- You see l'Obelisk?
- It's pretty.
983
01:05:49,863 --> 01:05:53,833
I mean, a weekend in Paris.
What a drag!
984
01:05:56,077 --> 01:05:58,077
The more out of it I am,
the better.
985
01:05:59,038 --> 01:06:01,588
You've obviously never
been to Birmingham.
986
01:06:02,125 --> 01:06:04,965
I'd make the most of
this city, if I were you.
987
01:06:05,962 --> 01:06:08,682
- That's what my dad says.
- He does?
988
01:06:11,885 --> 01:06:14,135
He and I don't really
989
01:06:14,596 --> 01:06:16,386
share that many interests.
990
01:06:16,473 --> 01:06:19,943
That's not unusual.
991
01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:23,610
I mean, he likes the
idea of me being around.
992
01:06:25,064 --> 01:06:27,534
He sends me air tickets,
993
01:06:27,609 --> 01:06:31,829
but he really freaks out if we're
ever stuck in the same room together.
994
01:06:31,905 --> 01:06:35,405
He feels bad, guilty, I suppose.
995
01:06:36,576 --> 01:06:38,866
He hates being hated.
996
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,080
What about your mum?
997
01:06:43,958 --> 01:06:45,958
She's okay.
998
01:06:46,669 --> 01:06:48,919
She tried to,
you know, kill herself.
999
01:06:49,005 --> 01:06:50,715
Oh, fuck!
1000
01:06:50,798 --> 01:06:53,178
Yeah, she, like,
1001
01:06:53,259 --> 01:06:55,179
threw herself out of a window.
1002
01:06:55,261 --> 01:06:57,611
Oh, my God!
1003
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,270
Yeah, but she's okay.
1004
01:07:00,350 --> 01:07:02,350
She's over that now.
1005
01:07:07,023 --> 01:07:08,383
JEAN-PIERRE:
What are you thinking?
1006
01:07:08,483 --> 01:07:10,163
Sorry?
1007
01:07:10,235 --> 01:07:12,655
What are you thinking
at this moment?
1008
01:07:20,995 --> 01:07:24,875
The, um, situation of
a woman like me.
1009
01:07:27,669 --> 01:07:30,919
Boredom, dissatisfaction...
1010
01:07:32,924 --> 01:07:34,554
Fury.
1011
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,180
And the clock ticking by.
1012
01:07:43,810 --> 01:07:46,030
What a great thing.
1013
01:07:47,730 --> 01:07:49,400
What?
1014
01:07:50,525 --> 01:07:54,155
To be so attuned to
your own unhappiness.
1015
01:08:01,452 --> 01:08:03,082
Look...
1016
01:08:03,162 --> 01:08:05,962
You see La... La Rue de Rivoli?
1017
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,510
Around the corner,
there is a little bar
1018
01:08:10,587 --> 01:08:13,387
where we could have
a drink, if you like.
1019
01:08:19,637 --> 01:08:21,227
When?
1020
01:08:24,100 --> 01:08:26,400
Now, if you like.
1021
01:08:36,237 --> 01:08:38,237
(INHALES HEAVILY)
1022
01:08:50,501 --> 01:08:51,721
What do you do?
1023
01:08:52,962 --> 01:08:55,432
- I'm a teacher.
- A teacher?
1024
01:08:55,506 --> 01:08:57,506
Yes, really.
1025
01:08:57,759 --> 01:08:59,889
(CHUCKLES)
1026
01:09:04,807 --> 01:09:07,277
(LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY)
1027
01:09:13,316 --> 01:09:14,856
Jesus!
1028
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:19,874
Is that a fucking monkey
I see before me?
1029
01:09:34,253 --> 01:09:36,853
Do you know what my
problem has been?
1030
01:09:42,136 --> 01:09:46,766
I am one of those
unfortunate people
1031
01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:50,149
who is congenitally
faithful to his wife.
1032
01:09:53,606 --> 01:09:58,326
Unlike the rest of the population,
I don't want to go to bed with strangers.
1033
01:09:59,278 --> 01:10:01,528
I only like her.
1034
01:10:04,867 --> 01:10:08,337
For me, there's never been sex
without an attempt at love.
1035
01:10:10,164 --> 01:10:12,134
Uh-huh?
1036
01:10:14,168 --> 01:10:16,168
Love is the only interesting thing.
1037
01:10:17,922 --> 01:10:21,392
It's far,
far more difficult to do than sex.
1038
01:10:23,052 --> 01:10:25,402
What is wrong with me?
1039
01:10:29,142 --> 01:10:30,492
What's he telling you?
1040
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,280
Urn, to be honest, it's
difficult to make sense of it.
1041
01:10:36,357 --> 01:10:37,897
They want us to eat.
1042
01:10:38,359 --> 01:10:39,739
Having a good time?
1043
01:10:41,654 --> 01:10:43,454
A man asked me to
have a drink with him.
1044
01:10:45,158 --> 01:10:47,038
Did he?
1045
01:10:47,452 --> 01:10:48,802
What did you say?
1046
01:10:51,873 --> 01:10:53,473
I said yes.
1047
01:10:57,336 --> 01:10:58,956
When?
1048
01:10:59,046 --> 01:11:01,046
Later tonight.
1049
01:11:03,426 --> 01:11:05,846
Don't do that.
Please don't do that.
1050
01:11:08,514 --> 01:11:10,694
I want to go.
1051
01:11:19,025 --> 01:11:22,395
Um... Here, you should take these.
1052
01:11:22,487 --> 01:11:24,487
You might need them.
1053
01:11:25,281 --> 01:11:30,081
We are all here to celebrate
the brilliance of this.
1054
01:11:30,495 --> 01:11:32,175
- MAN: Ah!
- (PEOPLE CHATTING INDISTINCTLY)
1055
01:11:32,246 --> 01:11:33,916
- MAN: Bravo!
- (APPLAUDING)
1056
01:11:35,833 --> 01:11:37,803
Bravo! Bravo!
1057
01:11:37,877 --> 01:11:39,167
MORGAN: No...
1058
01:11:39,253 --> 01:11:44,133
Yeah, which he wrote while working,
while running our lives,
1059
01:11:44,467 --> 01:11:46,337
attending to me,
1060
01:11:46,427 --> 01:11:49,427
buying art and learning Russian.
1061
01:11:49,514 --> 01:11:51,484
Yeah, that's true.
1062
01:11:51,557 --> 01:11:55,057
Yeah, he has the
energy of 100 teenagers.
1063
01:11:55,144 --> 01:11:56,654
Yes.
1064
01:11:56,729 --> 01:11:59,569
But wait. He's dark.
He's moody.
1065
01:11:59,649 --> 01:12:01,119
- (ALL CHUCKLING)
- WOMAN: Moody?
1066
01:12:01,192 --> 01:12:02,662
Yes.
1067
01:12:02,735 --> 01:12:05,445
He talks all the time,
all through breakfast.
1068
01:12:05,530 --> 01:12:07,080
(CHUCKLING CONTINUES)
1069
01:12:07,156 --> 01:12:10,076
In fact, he talks even
when he's on the toilet.
1070
01:12:10,159 --> 01:12:12,539
I'm stunned.
That's dessert talk.
1071
01:12:13,704 --> 01:12:17,174
Yeah, he has more exes, I think,
than Pére-Lachaise.
1072
01:12:18,751 --> 01:12:22,631
But I... I agreed to take him on.
1073
01:12:23,005 --> 01:12:25,715
- Mmm, pourquoi? Pourquoi?
- (ALL LAUGHING)
1074
01:12:26,175 --> 01:12:27,295
idiocy.
1075
01:12:28,386 --> 01:12:29,676
Idiocy? idiocy?
1076
01:12:31,472 --> 01:12:32,472
No, love.
1077
01:12:34,892 --> 01:12:36,572
Yes, love.
1078
01:12:41,065 --> 01:12:42,605
To you, my love.
1079
01:12:43,359 --> 01:12:45,079
ALL: To Morgan.
1080
01:12:45,653 --> 01:12:47,333
Cheers. Santé.
1081
01:12:47,405 --> 01:12:50,325
- WOMAN: Santé. Cheers.
- Thank you. Thank you.
1082
01:12:51,534 --> 01:12:54,414
Thank you, sweet. Let me say it quick.
Let me get this over with.
1083
01:12:54,495 --> 01:12:58,795
Thank you. What have I done to deserve
such love, and from my wife of all people?
1084
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,800
MORGAN: Oh, my golly!
1085
01:13:01,460 --> 01:13:02,960
Well, just very quickly,
thank you all for coming.
1086
01:13:03,045 --> 01:13:06,215
Those books, by the way,
they're gonna be in a box in the hall.
1087
01:13:06,299 --> 01:13:08,799
So on your way out, take five or ten,
as many as you want.
1088
01:13:08,885 --> 01:13:12,005
Some are even unsigned.
I think that makes them more valuable.
1089
01:13:12,513 --> 01:13:16,773
But may I take this opportunity not to say
anything more about that lousy little book,
1090
01:13:16,851 --> 01:13:19,451
which already is,
frankly, wildly out of date,
1091
01:13:19,812 --> 01:13:22,412
but about this fella right here?
1092
01:13:23,190 --> 01:13:28,120
Nick Burrows, who I found yesterday,
as you do so often with old friends,
1093
01:13:28,195 --> 01:13:30,865
kissing a woman
passionately in the street.
1094
01:13:30,948 --> 01:13:32,828
He later claimed that
that woman was his wife.
1095
01:13:32,909 --> 01:13:34,499
(ALL LAUGHING)
1096
01:13:38,664 --> 01:13:40,424
But, no, you know.
1097
01:13:40,499 --> 01:13:46,429
I'm thinking back right now, uh, on a
time when you and I were skulking around
1098
01:13:47,089 --> 01:13:50,809
and loitering in
gloomy Cambridge pubs,
1099
01:13:51,093 --> 01:13:53,313
presuming to figure out
how to fix the world.
1100
01:13:53,804 --> 01:13:57,354
I made him take me
on as his disciple
1101
01:13:57,934 --> 01:14:02,244
and stalked him at meetings
and followed him around
1102
01:14:02,647 --> 01:14:06,527
to these little bring-your-own-bottle
parties in bedsits
1103
01:14:06,609 --> 01:14:10,159
and grubby little restaurants
with names like Eros
1104
01:14:10,237 --> 01:14:12,327
and The Whim.
1105
01:14:12,406 --> 01:14:17,406
He started to shame me
into reading real things.
1106
01:14:18,079 --> 01:14:22,049
You made me concentrate for more
than five minutes at a time.
1107
01:14:22,375 --> 01:14:26,625
And he made me say true things
1108
01:14:27,338 --> 01:14:33,098
for the first time in my short and
well-upholstered Yankee life.
1109
01:14:35,346 --> 01:14:36,596
My gosh.
1110
01:14:37,723 --> 01:14:41,983
I thank you publicly
for keeping the torch burning,
1111
01:14:43,187 --> 01:14:47,237
as you have done so
magnificently over these years.
1112
01:14:47,817 --> 01:14:52,447
Ladies and gents,
may we raise a glass
1113
01:14:52,655 --> 01:14:55,995
to my friend Nick Burrows.
1114
01:14:56,951 --> 01:14:58,251
Thank you, Nick.
1115
01:14:58,327 --> 01:15:00,127
ALL: To Nick Burrows.
1116
01:15:00,204 --> 01:15:01,924

- MORGAN: Thank you, my friend.
- (NICK CLEARING THROAT)
1118
01:15:07,837 --> 01:15:10,057
- Fuck.
- (ALL CHUCKLING)
1119
01:15:11,966 --> 01:15:13,636
Shit... Um...
1120
01:15:15,344 --> 01:15:16,974
Fucking hell.
1121
01:15:17,304 --> 01:15:19,564
Thank you for that, Morgan.
1122
01:15:21,267 --> 01:15:23,267
I'm grateful for what you said.
1123
01:15:23,936 --> 01:15:25,226
Um...
1124
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:30,940
I'm surprised, too,
and taken aback, quite far back.
1125
01:15:32,236 --> 01:15:33,656
But I was reminded of something.
1126
01:15:36,699 --> 01:15:38,289
Of myself.
1127
01:15:41,078 --> 01:15:43,498
Of the self
1128
01:15:43,581 --> 01:15:45,801
I hide in myself.
1129
01:15:49,128 --> 01:15:52,218
I'm still an anarchist
of the left, I suppose.
1130
01:15:53,132 --> 01:15:54,852
I'm still a fool for the truth.
1131
01:15:55,593 --> 01:15:57,813
(CHUCKLING)
Always my weak point.
1132
01:15:59,513 --> 01:16:02,733
So I suppose I should,
on that basis, point out
1133
01:16:03,059 --> 01:16:06,059
that the university where I teach
is not a proper university,
1134
01:16:06,145 --> 01:16:11,485
but it's an ex-polytechnic, which is now
a factory on the outskirts of Birmingham,
1135
01:16:12,651 --> 01:16:16,251
set up to produce only idiocy.
1136
01:16:19,450 --> 01:16:22,550
I should point out that
I have just been sacked
1137
01:16:22,870 --> 01:16:28,670
for apparently speaking inappropriately
to a female black student.
1138
01:16:31,087 --> 01:16:36,807
My older son is a pot-head with rats
in the house that we bought for him
1139
01:16:37,176 --> 01:16:39,396
with the last of our savings.
1140
01:16:40,554 --> 01:16:43,774
His chosen profession is to watch
television in the afternoons.
1141
01:16:44,975 --> 01:16:45,975
I'm broke.
1142
01:16:47,311 --> 01:16:50,321
Every bone and muscle in my
body screams with agony
1143
01:16:50,397 --> 01:16:52,397
when I attempt to tie my shoelaces.
1144
01:16:55,528 --> 01:16:59,828
I'm near shitting myself with fear
and anxiety every moment of the day.
1145
01:17:06,747 --> 01:17:07,917
(NICK swans)
1146
01:17:07,998 --> 01:17:11,048
Plus the fact my wife is well aware
1147
01:17:11,127 --> 01:17:16,807
that I only cling to her like a
drowning man to a shelf of melting ice
1148
01:17:18,509 --> 01:17:20,599
because no one else would touch me.
1149
01:17:23,848 --> 01:17:26,768
She's planning, in fact,
to give me the slip later this evening
1150
01:17:26,851 --> 01:17:29,021
in order to be with another man.
Well, good for her.
1151
01:17:29,854 --> 01:17:31,484
And good for him, too.
1152
01:17:32,356 --> 01:17:36,946
So think of me as
falling out of a window...
1153
01:17:39,572 --> 01:17:41,172
Forever.
1154
01:17:43,617 --> 01:17:45,917
For I am truly fucked.
1155
01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:01,010
Oh, man, that was awesome.
1156
01:18:09,435 --> 01:18:11,725
Is that it?
Did I leave anything out?
1157
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:20,790
Can I say something, please?
1158
01:18:21,238 --> 01:18:23,238
Go ahead, please.
1159
01:18:25,534 --> 01:18:28,634
I was on the balcony just now
talking to Jean-Pierre.
1160
01:18:32,041 --> 01:18:35,221
I remembered something
from the other day,
1161
01:18:36,045 --> 01:18:39,465
when I was with a friend.
1162
01:18:40,382 --> 01:18:42,382
And my phone rang.
1163
01:18:45,137 --> 01:18:46,637
And, um.
1164
01:18:46,722 --> 01:18:50,402
I spoke with the person.
1165
01:18:51,310 --> 01:18:54,660
And at the end of the call,
she said,
1166
01:18:55,814 --> 01:18:57,574
"Who was that?
1167
01:18:58,609 --> 01:18:59,949
"Was it your secret lover?
1168
01:19:02,363 --> 01:19:04,963
"You sounded so pleased
to hear from them,
1169
01:19:07,034 --> 01:19:08,384
"and you kept laughing."
1170
01:19:11,872 --> 01:19:14,342
I was astonished.
I said,
1171
01:19:14,541 --> 01:19:16,541
"What do you mean?
1172
01:19:17,336 --> 01:19:19,336
"It was my husband."
1173
01:19:25,052 --> 01:19:27,052
it was my husband.
1174
01:19:36,021 --> 01:19:38,021
MORGAN: Nick?
1175
01:19:38,732 --> 01:19:40,732
Are you guys...
Oh, are you...
1176
01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:42,203
Are you heading out?
1177
01:19:42,278 --> 01:19:45,498
That was genius.
Genius, as always.
1178
01:19:46,323 --> 01:19:49,333
Gee, I wish you didn't
have to rush away.
1179
01:19:49,410 --> 01:19:52,840
I'm so sorry if I...
Did I say something possibly...
1180
01:19:53,580 --> 01:19:55,830
How long are you guys
gonna be here for?
1181
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,850
Because I know you said the weekend,
but I don't know specifically.
1182
01:20:00,587 --> 01:20:02,307
Do you still have my number?
1183
01:20:02,381 --> 01:20:04,731
Did you transfer, uh...
1184
01:20:05,884 --> 01:20:09,354
'Cause you can text me.
We don't even have to speak.

01:20:27,531 --> 01:20:29,371
You genius.
1188
01:20:29,450 --> 01:20:31,450
How could you do that?
1189
01:20:33,162 --> 01:20:35,632
NICK: Talent.
1190
01:20:35,706 --> 01:20:38,126
I nearly...
1191
01:20:38,208 --> 01:20:39,758
Puked.
1192
01:20:40,210 --> 01:20:41,680

1193
01:20:44,923 --> 01:20:45,923
MEG: You know what?
1194
01:20:47,343 --> 01:20:51,893
The other day at that
dinner at Ellie's,
1195
01:20:51,972 --> 01:20:54,192
you did this thing.
1196
01:20:54,975 --> 01:21:00,025
You came over and you kissed
me on the side of the head.
1197
01:21:01,732 --> 01:21:03,582
Just casually.
1198
01:21:04,902 --> 01:21:07,252
But I thought it was
the loveliest thing.
1199
01:21:07,571 --> 01:21:10,041
NICK: (CHUCKLING) Thanks.
1200
01:21:12,826 --> 01:21:14,446
Now.
1201
01:21:14,536 --> 01:21:16,786
Again, do it again.
1202
01:21:42,648 --> 01:21:44,738
NICK: Time to pack, I guess.
1203
01:21:45,359 --> 01:21:48,029
French stairs, my abiding memory.
1204
01:21:48,821 --> 01:21:50,791
You can get the lift.

01:22:39,746 --> 01:22:41,116
Pardon.
1220
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,790
Pardon, monsieur.
1221
01:22:44,084 --> 01:22:46,094
Excusez-moi,
pardon, pardon.
1222
01:22:47,129 --> 01:22:48,969

(PANTING)
1224
01:22:52,759 --> 01:22:54,849
Ah, Mr and Mrs Burrows.
1225
01:22:54,928 --> 01:22:58,308
Please accept my deepest apology
for our little difficulty.
1226
01:22:58,390 --> 01:23:01,610
But I'm sure we can sort
everything out very quickly.
1227
01:23:02,561 --> 01:23:04,731
- Will you please follow me?
- Yeah.
1228
01:23:07,608 --> 01:23:10,028
Of course, we have your
passports in our safe.
1229
01:23:10,110 --> 01:23:11,240
But why?
1230
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,120
The credit card you gave
us is beyond its limit.
1231
01:23:14,198 --> 01:23:16,418
See... Here's the bill.
1232
01:23:17,242 --> 01:23:18,922
Right.
1233
01:23:20,621 --> 01:23:22,121
MEG: Mmm-hmm.
1234
01:23:23,999 --> 01:23:26,339
Oh, yes, that's, um...
1235
01:23:26,418 --> 01:23:28,758
Yes, that is quite a lot of money.
1236
01:23:28,837 --> 01:23:32,927
Yeah. There is also the matter,
I fear, of the damage to the room.
1237
01:23:33,008 --> 01:23:34,808
- There is?
- Yes.
1238
01:23:35,093 --> 01:23:36,353
Plus the tax, of course.
1239
01:23:37,095 --> 01:23:40,185
- It looks like we got carried away.
- Oh?
1240
01:23:41,141 --> 01:23:43,361
- It was worth it.
- Yeah.
1241
01:23:43,435 --> 01:23:45,975
Mr Burrows,
you have another carol?
1242
01:23:47,606 --> 01:23:49,226
Only my bus pass, I'm afraid.
1243
01:23:49,399 --> 01:23:52,399
And how do you intend to pay?
1244
01:23:54,446 --> 01:23:56,866
- With our lives?
- (CHUCKLES)
1245
01:23:57,658 --> 01:24:00,208
Unfortunately, it's no longer
a matter of laughing, madam.
1246
01:24:01,036 --> 01:24:03,156
In fact, it's a very
serious matter indeed.
1247
01:24:03,664 --> 01:24:05,594
- A very serious matter.
- Yeah.
1248
01:24:05,666 --> 01:24:07,506
I'm not listening to
any more of this.
1249

- Hey, Dad. Having a lovely time?
1258
01:24:45,289 --> 01:24:47,879
- We're having a fine time.
- Making friends with many frogs?
1259
01:24:47,958 --> 01:24:50,708
No, we haven't met any
French people yet, no.
1260
01:24:50,794 --> 01:24:52,144
Have you come to a decision?
1261
01:24:52,212 --> 01:24:53,892
Well, yes and no.

it wouldn't be a good idea
1263
01:24:55,882 --> 01:24:57,762
for you to move back in with us.
1264
01:24:57,843 --> 01:25:00,223
You'll be better off
staying with a mate.
1265
01:25:01,346 --> 01:25:02,806
Yeah.
1266
01:25:02,889 --> 01:25:05,389
Yeah, we're enjoying
being on our own now.
1267
01:25:06,643 --> 01:25:08,943
Well, we hope to be back soon.
1268
01:25:09,187 --> 01:25:11,567

- NICK: No, sorry.

01:25:11,648 --> 01:25:12,948
Sorry.

- Are you there? Can you hear me?
- Hello?

- Hello? Hello?
- Dad?
1273
01:25:21,325 --> 01:25:23,035

1276
01:25:44,222 --> 01:25:46,602
I said you had the euros.
1277
01:25:51,104 --> 01:25:53,204
- Voilà, monsieur.
- Merci.

Oh, my God, are you kidding?
My pleasure!

What... What's happening?
1284

Well, we've had...
A couple of little problems.

- Well...

having like a great, great time.

place till you sort yourself out,
1291
01:27:24,865 --> 01:27:26,655
which could take a while.
1292

- Yes, yes, my pleasure.
1293

I'll get some food and we'll
have a great evening in.

Do you like that idea?
We'll play music and dance.

Yeah. Would you like to
sing, by any chance?
