Amongst our exceptional women,

And another extraordinary woman,

Klare Korhonen.

Oh, uh, sorry. I-I think

I-- And, uh, Elizabeth Sawkin.

Congratulations to you all.
Have a wonderful evening.

It appears that Sylvia is busy,

which shouldn't come
as a surprise, really.

Uh...

It's-it's been a big year
for business.

Particularly women in business.

Men have been pretty hands-on
the past few decades.

(Fleabag laughs)

I'd like to thank
all the brilliant men and women

for supporting each other
here at Hurbots.

We're a-a family, really.

And if we've learned anything
during the past 12 months,

it's that family really
shouldn't touch each other up

next to the photocopier.

to present this award

to this year's
Best Woman in Business...

Belinda Friers.

It's not fine. I awarded her

Ms. Friers.

Thank you, darling.

Oh, good for you.

Did you make the canapés?

How old are you?

-58. And you?
-33.

Oh. Well, don't worry.
It does get better.

-You promise?
-I promise.

Listen, I was in an airplane
the other day,

and I realized-- well, I-I mean,

I've been longing to say this
out loud, so...

Women are born
with pain built in.

It's our physical destiny.

Uh, period pains, sore boobs,
childbirth, you know.

We carry it within ourselves
throughout our lives.

Men don't.

They have to seek it out.

They invent all these gods
and demons and things

all so they can feel guilty
about things,

which is something we do
very well on our own.

Then they create wars
so they can

feel things
and touch each other,

and when there aren't any wars,
they can play rugby.

And we have it all going on
in here, inside.

We have pain on a cycle
for years and years and years.

And then, just when you feel you
are making peace with it all,

what happens?

The menopause comes.

The fucking menopause comes,
and it is...

...the most

wonderful fucking thing
in the world.

And yes, your entire
pelvic floor crumbles,

and you get fucking hot,
and n-no one cares,

but then you're free.

No longer a slave,

no longer a-a machine
with parts.

You're just a person,
in business.

Oh.

I was told it was horrendous.

It is horrendous,
but then it's magnificent.

Something to look forward to.

(chuckles softly)

You better get back
to that party.

-Your party.
-Mm. It is not a party

until someone flirts with you.

And that's the only really
shit thing about getting older

is that people don't
flirt with you anymore.

Not really. Not with danger.

I miss walking into a room
and not knowing,

and there's a sort of energy,
a dare.

And do not take that
for granted.

There is nothing more exciting
than a room full of people.

Yeah, except most people are...

What?

Shit.

Oh.

Look at me.

Listen.

People are all we've got.

People are all we've got,
so grab the night by its nipples

and go and flirt with someone.

Mm. No, that's not what I meant.
(chuckles)

(chuckles softly)

Oh. I wish you were my type.

You take this tart
back to my party

and go and find someone
to actually do that with.

-I want to do it with you.
-No.

(chuckles):
Why not?

-Honestly?
-Yeah.

I can't be arsed, darling.

I'm gonna go back to my room
and have one more martini,

and if you need anything,
call me.

Anything.

You can have whomever you want
at your age.

Except the Best Woman
in Business.

Well, that's just 'cause
she's... exhausted.

33 isn't exactly...

-And what had Jesus done by 33?
-Died?

Exactly. So get out there
and flirt.

Here you are.

-Oh, hi.
-Thought you might be
snogging Finland.

Ha. No, I, uh--

Just, uh, sorting
a few things.

-I got her.
-Oh.

-And Belinda gave me her card.
-Oh, that's great.

-What?
-Nothing.

She's furious.

-Really?
-Yes.

It was a great night.

Everything went smoothly
in the end,

and everyone loved the canapés.

Really?
I'm a dead woman.

-Really?
-Yes.

Really?

Yes. It was a great night.

She's gonna blow.
I just have a feeling...

I would have come up
with my own joke

if you hadn't put that one
in my head.

I have my own jokes.

I am funny, I am interesting.

I knew I shouldn't have
brought you here.

-What do you mean "interesting"?
-You just think you can do

whatever you like,
say whatever you like,

steal whatever you like,
kiss whoever you like.

-He kissed me!
-Oh, I know!

You know? Then why have we been
spending the entire...

Because you're fine.

You'll always be fine,
you'll always be interesting

with your quirky café
and your dead best friend.

You just make me feel
like I've failed.

Claire...

If you mention the size
of my office, I will scream.

we were hanging out.

Just as friends.

We're not friends.

We are sisters.

have been after me for years.

It's like they have
a pact or something.

-I'm not kidding.
I was on a toilet,

a toilet of a train,
and when the train stopped,

a fucking fox tried
to get through the window.

Of a train!
Its face was in the window.

And once, when I was
at a monastery,

I woke up just feeling
a bit weird,

like there might be a fox about,
and fox was sitting

underneath my window,
looking at me like this.

Pointing at me like,
"You... we're watching you.

We're having you."

-You could be a fox boy by now.

what happened to them.

Do you think I'm mad?

Because of the fox thing
or 'cause of the God thing?

You're obsessed.

Do you ever have doubts?

Yes, of course. Every day.
It's part of the deal.

Sorry.

It's just too...

too...

Celibacy is
a lot less complicated

than romantic relationships.

What if you meet
someone you like?

I talk and drink and laugh
and give them Bibles,

and hope they eventually
leave me alone.

What if you meet

We're not gonna have sex.
