"Ben, I thought that you guys..." "I've been an idiot." "Um, that kind of makes it tricky now, Ben." "How bad is it?" "Works for Médecins Sans Frontières, speaks five languages." "Dickhead?" " No." " No'" "He's quite thoughtful, apparently." "Great." "Excellent." "God, this is about to get worse." "Get this, Alex's boyfriend bobsledded for Denmark." "That's something we gotta do." "Let's get a drink." " Hey!" " Thanks." "That's how we've decided it." "Beautiful choice." "Excuse me." "Sparkling." "Uh, hey." "Hi!" "How are you?" "Good, I'm really good." "It's so nice to see you." " It's nice to see you." " Yeah." "I didn't mean to interrupt." "No." "Straight off the bat, I'm just gonna say it." " I'm sorry I didn't..." " Don't even mention it." " I really looked into it." " I never thought it would happen." " I almost made it happen." " It was nice of you to try." "My folks won't even come." "So..." "Thanks." "Uh, so how are you?" "You look... you look amazing, Alex." "You really do." " Thank you." " I see you have a new addition." "Yes, yes." "Nils." "I was coming out for the wedding and he had holidays so he said he'd come." "He actually followed through." "Not like he's coming to a terrorist haven." "You don't need yellow fever injections to come to Melbourne." " I did get them." "Small point." " Brave of you." " Anyway, you were saying...?" " What's happening with you?" " Nothing." "Same old." " Her name's Kelly." " OK." " Not going out or anything." " Is she here today?" " Yes." "Might be hard to find her." " There she is." "Kelly." " Oh..." "Look at her." "Anyway, met at a launch couple of weeks back." " Like I said, pretty casual." " I'm happy for you." "Thank you." "Same." "Oh, Ben, this is Nils." "Director of Emergency Medical Aid, North Africa." " Pleased to meet you." " And this is Kelly." " Face of harness racing." " That's where I know you from." "The billboard on the way to the airport." "It's you!" "So they wanted me to pose riding a horse, but it was too dangerous." "So I said, get a shot holding a saddle." "And they said, 'This is harness racing, we don't have saddles.'" "Ah!" " I was so embarrassed." " Should we..." "But it didn't matter because the shots were great." "At first it was meant for 'in-house' publicity but apparently they liked it so much that I ended up on the front cover of the magazine." "That's awesome!" "God, I'm going on about myself again." "No, no." "Just a little bit." "But..." "Not at all." "Please, continue." "No, what about you, Nils?" "What do you get up to in Denmark?" " I'm more into alpine sports." " Oh, you ski?" "A little." " You're being humble, come on." " I've been fortunate." "You bobsledded at the Olympics, just say it." "It's a great achievement." "You're like the only guy here who hasn't been to the Olympics." "That is so funny." "He was a very good cricketer." "Kelly, can I get you with your boyfriend?" " Is that your boyfriend?" " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " That's fine." "Is this the Olympian?" " They both are." "OK, let's just get you four." "That's good." "If you do what he..." "just something similar." "OK, would you like to turn around?" "That's good." "Just... yeah." "Good." "Ah, here we go." "That's OK, that's fine." " Sorry, no, it's just the..." " Perfect, thank you." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "I'd just like to say, thank you for making me feel so welcome." "I look forward to come back many times." "Yeah!" "You can stay with us!" " Should we just kick on?" " Yes!" "We could show Nils some of the bars." "I might actually pull the pin." " No!" " Yeah, yeah." "No, I'm sort of a bit beat from the week." "Come on, you'll be fine." "Come on, Ben, I'm up for fun." "No, you go." "Go, honestly." "Seriously, go." "If I get a second wind, I'll meet up with you." " Alright, alright." " But honestly, enjoy." " Go on, really." " OK." "Hey, how long are you in town till?" "Till Wednesday and then we come back for the wedding." "Perfect." "That's awesome." "I'll be in touch." "Sure." " Sure you won't come?" " Oh, no." "It's been a crazy week." " Come on." " No, really." " You just..." " I said no, Nils, sorry." "I'm just so tired." "About to crash." "OK." "Enjoy, have fun." " Nice to meet you." " Thank you." "You too Nils." " Hey." " Sorry, I tried to be quiet." "Don't know what woke me up." " How did you end up?" " Good." " Good." " Cohali had to head home." "Fair enough." "And Nils?" "Keep playing Mr. Cool all night, did he?" "No, he didn't." "I just meant with the whole, 'I only went to one Olympics' thing." " He never said he went." " He didn't deny it, did he?" " Why would he..." " They make a good couple?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "Good pairing?" "Yeah, fantastic." "Made for each other." "Great." "That's great." "Actually, Andy, can I ask you something?" "Sure." "Remember that Hemingway book my mum got me," "The Snows Of Kilimanjaro?" " Yeah." " Do you know what it's about?" "Bullfighting?" "No, it's set in Africa." "That's something we gotta do." "Running with the bulls." "Sure, we will." "It's... it's about this guy," "Harry Street, who - not a bullfighter - who's dying basically and that forces him to look back at his life and how he lived it." "He slowly realizes that all the money and the women and stuff, that he hasn't actually accomplished anything." "I reckon read the bull one." "No." "You know what, I'm just gonna come right out and say it." "Shoot, man." "I keep thinking that I'm not doing anything meaningful with my life." "I can't shake it." "It's like this year, life's been great, it's brilliant and I'm ticking all the boxes." "And then... then it... it hits me - this feeling that I'm doing everything but achieving nothing."

"I just wanted to say sorry." "It's OK." "Thank you." "Don't know why I didn't stay in touch." "It's so stupid 'cause I wanted to I should've." "I could've." " It's fine." " It's not fine." "It's... it's really fine, Ben." "'Cause that day we had together, it was a great day for me." "It meant something, and..." "I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone for six hours before." " Ben." " I think about you a lot, Alex." " Ben..." " No, that's it." "That's it, it's all I wanted to say." "What am I supposed to do now?" "Nothing." "I'm sorry, I wanted to see you and say, and just look at you and say I'm sorry." "So, I'm sorry." "And I'm done." "Yep." "I'm done." " Hey." " Hi." " What's up?" " Um..." "You've got a visitor." "I'll just go on the balcony." "What am I to you?" " Am I some kind of ideal, is that it?" " No, that's not it."

"So don't worry so much.'" "Yeah." "I looked at Nonno and said, 'You are flat out fucking wrong.'" " This is Nonno?" " Yeah." " Who was 94?" " He was sitting down at the time." "I said, 'We make our own luck." "We succeed or screw up based on how much we put in.'" "Great." "Well, then I'm screwed both ways." " You put in." " Do I, Sam?" "Really?" "Yes."

"Do they still like you?" " Benny, relax." " I've never asked a girl out." " We just kind of end up together." " That is a skill, my friend." "You don't get it." "I'm nearly 28 and I've never had to ask a girl out." "I mean, that's weird." "I don't know what the hell's wrong with me." "How will I ever propose?" "I'll go into anaphylactic shock."

"Why are we doing this?" "I just thought... bird's-eye-view, up in the sky, just the two of us." " But why?" " What do you mean?" "Why not?" "We've been going out for over three months now." "$0?" "I thought it would be nice to do something romantic." "You're not going to propose, are you?" " Well, not now." " Phew!" "Alright, no need to sound so fucking relieved."
