The humdrum of day-to-day life can get you down.

That's why so many people look for a little romance or perhaps a few thrills

to brighten up their day.

After all, there's no harm in adding a little spice to your life, is there?

But how far would you go to get your thrills?

Would you pursue them to the bitter end, no matter how twisted?

Sorry to keep you waiting, Tom.

We've coded your responses to the questionnaire and run them through the

computer to try to get a match.

I must say, it's a pleasure to have a gentleman who knows exactly what he

wants. You wouldn't believe some of the requests we get.

Now, the computer's given us three ladies with the particular qualities

you're seeking.

Each lady has a personal video, so just take your time and see what you think.

I'll leave you alone to reach a decision.

Shit. It's all my bloody mate.

I'm so glad you chose Sarah, Tom.

She's a delightful lady.

I interviewed her myself.

Alone, but not lonely.

Hasn't been with the agency very long.

I wish you every success.

Good luck, Tom.

Cupid Connections will help you find your perfect partner.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

Late 30s, but don't look it. That's what they tell me.

Non-smoker, five foot eight, and the rest you can see.

I'm a sales manager for a large department store.

I like to keep in shape, and I work out at the gym.

I'm divorced.

About three years ago.

No ties now.

I'm looking for some excitement.

With a man who knows what he wants and is prepared to take risks.

You know, push the boundaries a little.

But it can't work without mutual trust.

Honesty is very important in a relationship, don't you think?

So if you're not married, someone looking for a housekeeper or a

substitute for their mother,

Why not leave a message?

If I like what I hear, I'll be in touch.

Hi. I'm not very good at this.

Name's Tom.

I'm 46 foot. Don't smoke.

Divorced, but still got a sense of humor.

When do I start?

Well, you could say I'm prepared to take risks and back my own judgment, which is

why I like the video idea.

Give me a chance to see you, make sure you're the sort of person I was looking

for.

Guy? Hi, it's me.

Listen, I won't be in tomorrow morning. What's your plan?

Yep, another meeting.

Never you mind.

He's still working on the Williamson deal. Tell him another 48 hours, okay?

Yes.

I know you'd tell me.

Maybe.

I gotta go.

Okay. See ya.

I'm away from home a lot with my job, so it's not easy to meet the right lady.

What are you watching, Ray? Shit knock.

What was it?

Nothing.

Doesn't look like nothing to me.

It's just a training video from work.

Oh, yeah? How about lending it to me? I might learn something.

Forget it.

Sorry.

So what's the big occasion?

It's no big occasion.

All right, so how can you reek like a woman's handbag?

Just meeting some of the guys for a meal. That's all. Just a night out.

Does Mum know?

It was arranged yesterday. What's it to you?

I'm just asking.

Look, I've got to go. I'm running late.

Walk round to your gran. She's expecting you. No way. Jodie's coming over. Not

tonight, she's not. Why not?

Because I said so. That's why I'm not.

Not having your hormones spread over the lounge, you're staying the night at

Gran's, end of story.

Oh, you just want the place to yourself, do you? Just get moving, will you?

There's he passes.

The rises in interest rates were likely in the short term.

Police have no new leads in their hunt for the man dubbed the Lonely Heart

Killer. At a press conference earlier today... Hurry it up, will you?

Campari and soda, madam?

Thanks.

Calm my nerves.

Would you care to see the menu?

Sure. Give me something to do?

Well, if you like Italian, I suggest you get one piece.

On the house, okay?

Sarah.

Blue tie.

You must be Tom.

Yeah.

Sorry I'm late. Just a few problems at work took me longer than I thought.

I wasn't sure if you'd changed your mind or flown into a mountain.

But I work as a pilot with one of the major airlines.

Do the international routes.

Oh, no, nothing like that. I'm normally boringly on time.

Your scotch, sir?

Ordered on the way in.

Menu, sir? Madam has chosen already.

I'll have the same as the lady, thanks.

Too grilled a piranha it is, then.

You're bloody familiar, isn't he?

I saw him chatting you up.

When?

Over there.

He was spying on me.

This to a lousy beginning, but a great ending.

So, Tom, are you here for long?

Just a couple of days.

Must be exciting.

Different nights in faraway places.

Different women.

No, it's not like that.

Maybe.

So why a pilot?

You're in control.

One with a machine, just those few thin sheets of metal between you and

oblivion.

Does death scare you?

No?

Never?

You, um, said you were divorced on the video.

Yeah.

You want to talk about it?

Nothing much to say.

We were young.

Too young, I suppose.

Just got bored with the routine.

And what about your husband? You, um, got bored, so you gave him the flick?

No, it wasn't like that.

So what changed?

He did.

I did.

It wasn't a marriage. It was... It was canteen duty.

Sex on Saturday, Barbie on Sunday, two weeks in a caravan park each year. You

know, the whole suburban prostitute bit. I wanted more.

No, don't apologize.

If it hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here.

No, I guess not.

You won't forget tonight, I promise.

Thank you.

What happened to the champagne?

So that's why.

Just out of interest, did you get any other replies?

27 so far.

And how many of those of you... Only you.

I'm flattered.

Did you discuss meeting me with anyone?

God, no.

How about you?

Any more champagne?

No, not for me.

How was the meal, sir?

Didn't notice.

Pass your compliments on to the kitchen. Something else, madam? A coffee?

Uh, yes, thanks.

For you, sir? A cure? Port?

No, just a coffee, thanks.

Well, there's short black, long black, cafe latte, cappuccino, Irish or

plunger. Instant would be good.

Quickies you like and the bill.

Look, um...

I was wondering if, uh... Shit, you're not making this easy.

Should I be?

Well, it'd help. You know, it's been a while since I found myself in this

position.

So you use a line from the old days.

You won't laugh?

Promise.

There was this girl once.

Long time ago.

I saw her across the room at a party, and her place was packed.

Bodies everywhere, music thumping.

What was she like?

Fragile.

Full of life.

Single most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I knew I'd only get the one

chance, so I thought my way over and said to her...

You look fantastic.

Any chance I could cook you breakfast tomorrow?

What she said.

Piss off.

You ever see her again?

I married her.

Said you wouldn't laugh.

I lied.

So, Tom, wearing a blue tie, did you book a room?

Oh, I didn't presume anything, you know.

First date.

Well, how will I know if you deserve a second?

Looks like we'll have to use mine.

What about the coffee?

Think you'll have trouble staying awake?

Is this the right way?

Sure, Captain.

Well,

Captain, here we are.

So, what does the girl have to do to get a ride in a cockpit?

Oh, cancel her membership.

What membership?

With the agency.

Oh, that.

Why? Because you won't be needing it.

I might.

You won't. Trust me.

You're very sure of yourself.

Hmm, that feels nice.

Well, women's necks are so fragile, delicate.

I think it's the most vulnerable part of the body.

Like a bird's.

Don't stop.

Rough hands, Captain.

Yeah, sorry.

I've been renovating.

These are for you.

You want me to wear them?

Give me a minute. No, no, no.

Stay here with me.

Is that what you like?

Don't go away Make

yourself

comfortable

Identification of the body, believed to be a woman in her late 30s, was delayed

due to extensive head injuries.

A police spokesman said the woman's name would not be released until relatives

had been notified.

Meanwhile in... Go wash up, tea's ready.

Where were you last night?

What? You didn't come home.

No, I stayed with the mates.

Oh yeah, who?

None of your bloody business.

Who? Terry, what's it to you?

He called last night.

Who did?

Terry. He said to tell you he was chucking a sickie and he had the flu.

Look, I don't have to explain my movements to anyone, let alone you.

Alright, I didn't stay at Terry's. I stayed with one of the other guys. So

what?

Weren't you at your grandmother's?

I didn't stay there. I came back.

You what?

I came back.

I gave you strict instructions about that.

Was it Jodie?

It's got nothing to do with her, Dad.

Anyway, you can talk.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

Look, look, your mum's going to be here soon. I don't want her to come in on us

fighting, all right? Just forget it.

Nothing happened last night.

And I'm sorry I shouldn't have doubted your word about Jodie.

It's because you're past it.

So now, tell her tea's ready, eh?

Mum, tea!

Yeah, I could have done that.

Look, no fighting in front of your mother. Deal?

Deal? Yeah.

That was a meeting, Mum.

Better than expected.
