"Question in Details" "Yeah?" "Hi, Böbe." "It's ten o'clock." "You still managing?" "I can't believe you called..." "I don't believe it." "We were asleep actually or we would be..." "I just wanted to check that you're okay..." "I'm sorry but aren't you on a date?" "I just nipped to the loo." "Lovely." "And you're talking to me?" "I hope you washed your hands!" "They still awake?" "Alcohol soon sends them to sleep..." "That was a joke, before you rush home..." "They're asleep." "I'd like to sleep too." "I guess I'll be back about midnight." "Midnight?" "That means you gave up an hour ago." "We worked harder than that to get you here!" "I was right and this shirt is cutting into my neck." "I hate it!" "And..." "I'm not so good at this." "The shirt is fine." "Stop moaning." "Concentrate on what you're doing and you might even get into her knickers." "I don't understand you or her." "She asked me if I had any chockie and my first thought was:" ""Jesus, the kids always ask that!"" "Sweet tooth." "Concentrate." "Be nice and it'll all be fine." "And if it isn't?" ""And if it isn't?"" "I might get into her knickers..." "Where were we?" "Weren't we about to leave?" "Really?" "No, I've got it?" "The camera..." "I asked a few question before I bought it..." "I don't really understand technical things." "It's marathon for me to set the video." "What do you want to do?" "Should we pay and go or..." "Can I ask a question?" "Sure." "How do you think it's going?" "Because?" "Because I would like to know what you're thinking." "I think we're doing great..." "Or not?" "Not?" "Not." "I thought we clicked in the park..." "I'd had a shit day and you had a feel..." "And?" "You're a nice guy and that's why I wanted to clear things in person..." "Have I done something stupid?" "Not at all." "Can't you feel how strained we are?" "I just don't understand what you're saying." "It's better to know at the start." "I don't think so." "We don't know a thing about each other and now we never will..." "I'd happily talk till dawn but" "I want you to know that it still won't come to anything..." ""If you don't shoot, you'll never score."" "What?" "Greczky said it." "I thought I was doing fine." "You have to understand this is not the playoff." "I don't think we should push things." "It can get so embarrassing." "You're sweet and kind and the stories were fun but you're so stiff." "Perhaps tense is better." "If you relaxed, you might even enjoy it..." "And then what?" "I haven't done anything like this for ages." "They say it's like riding a bike but I had stabilisers for two years." "Come on, let's go." "Chin up." "Next time, perhaps..." "I don't understand." "It all seems so pointless." "Why did we meet in the first place?" "I gave you my number but what did you promise?" "Not to call you..." "I didn't understand then and I still don't now." "Will you go on somewhere?" "No, I'm going home." "I guess I should be getting back too?" "!" "You know what?" "I only live five blocks away." "You can walk me to the door if you like." "That's good." "That's really good." "But that's all." "Nothing else." "I'll get over it." "Five blocks." "You weren't overdoing it." "It wasn't a real date so it didn't seem to matter." "You still dressed up." "Don't bullshit!" "No I didn't." "Can I make a suggestion for the future?" "Suggestion?" "Just one?" "Let's hear it." "Us girls don't really like to hear how another man crapped in a place we'd never visit." "But it was a good eight decibels!" "It was such a classic splatter." "No!" "That's playground stuff!" "Will you wait for me here a minute?" "If you don't work here." "Hey, Dex!" "They let you out already?" "Your brother's not home." "Are you telling or asking?" "How are you?" "I thought you'd be in for a week." "I have to go back twice a day." "What for?" "Cleaning, dressing, bandages." "That sounds awful." "Want a look?" "What the hell is that?" "!" "A growth the size of a loaf." "They cut half my arse off." "And you appear in public... and make good people puke!" " You know him?" " He's my brother's mate." "What's wrong with him?" "Always something." "He thinks something up... and that's what happens." "It was dead disgusting." "Dead disgusting?" "!" "You're sweet." "Bloody entrails!" "I've never had those." "It's just as well." "If you want to know, two of my toes are stuck together." "Really?" "Like that guy from Atlantis?" "What you think I am?" "A frog?" "I haven't got webbed feet." "Then what?" "Two of my toes are stuck together." "Oh?" "Is that all?" "Why didn't you come in sandals and you could have showed me?" "Like I'm going to show a thing off like that on a first date." "Well it would have been more exciting than your camera." "I knew you'd bring that up." "Girls don't like that kind of thing either..." " Just as well this isn't a date..." " Yeah, sure..." "And now we're here..." "I'll say goodnight." "It was pleasantly absurd, thanks." "I was trying then that guy upstaged me." "You going up?" "Yep." "What's this?" "You asked for this yesterday, remember?" "Chockie..." "The kids like it." "What kids?" "Kids, just kids." "Children." "You know, the under-fifteens." "There are millions of them around the world." "Really?" "And they all like this chockie?" "Well, it's actually marzipan but most people think it's chocolate and I thought you'd like it too." "Am I a child?" "Why have we got stuck on this children thing?" "Some sort of phobia?" "!" "What?" "You're not saying that you've got?" "Really?" "You've got kids?" "Two." "Twins." "They love it." "You're taking this piss, aren't you?" "Two." "Identical." "But one's north and the other's south." "What are you doing here?" "I don't understand and now it's making me feel bad." "I won't invite you up because we agreed it was to the door." "And now you mention the kids," "I don't think it's a good idea." "Are you scared something will happen?" "No, I'm not scared." "I'll break your arm if you try anything." "Look, I'm okay." "We'll just talk..." "I'm going to piss myself, hmm?" "Okay." "Just this once..." "I'll show you my toe." "But it's really two, isn't it?" "Okay." "But max half an hour." "This switch has been crap for weeks." "There's another on the landing." "Will you check?" "Here?" "There." "Can't you see or something?" "Look, it's fucking pitch black." "Don't be such a blind mouse." "Here?" "There." "Got it." "Is there someone at home?" "No." "Don't shit yourself!" "So why is the light on?" "We can never find the switch." "It's a bit of a waste though, isn't it?" "Discuss it with my brother." "I only talk about my own stuff." "Is this him?" "Dishy." "Yeah." "But he's taken... and he's also very gay." "And before you shit yourself again, he's not my brother." "Have a look around or steal something..." "Hello, Jamie..." "Neat flat." "It used to be." "Sorry but this is much more comfortable." "Shit!" "I've fucked the recording again!" "It didn't record!" "No!" "Did you program something?" "You think so?" "!" "It doesn't look like it." "I've really fucked up this time!" "The marathon was too much for you." "My brother's really going to kill me." "What's all this stuff?" "My brother sometimes cooks a bit... and sometimes packs away." "I do too." "But you always clean up." "I'm quite a good cook." "I won't say it doesn't show..." "What?" "Are you calling me fat?" "I'm only joking." "It takes all sorts." "What are you drinking?" "Water if that's okay." "There's some cold in the fridge... and there should be a glass." "Can I ask a question?" "Go for it." "Why did you call me?" "I've never done anything like this before..." "Just spoken to someone like that..." "If I remember, it wasn't you." "I know, you spoke to me but that's not the point." "Strangers might speak to you twice a day... but when the person isn't interesting, you just mutter something and walk away." "I didn't want you to walk away." "I tried not to mutter..." "I had an awful day yesterday." "You looked fine to me." "In one day I get flattened by a steamroller, hit by a piano, you get down by Millwall fans and then someone says:" ""Hey!" "I like you!"" "It just seems a bit bizarre." "What happened?" "No, that's not why we're here." "We agreed that you would show me something." "Do your kids know you're here?" "Sure." "I could say they chose this shirt but they voted for one with checks so I shouted them down." "And don't they miss you?" "I paid the girl next door four thousand." "She promised they'd both still be alive when I got home." "I really didn't want to do this whole thing." "I was scared..." "But..." ""if you don't shoot..."" ""...you'll never score."" "So?" "So?" "You drink my soda, waste my time..." "Just get to the crux..." "There are dozens of words like that." "You understand them but you could never explain them." "Juxtaposition, crux, garrulous, adenoid." "There's lots." "What's the question?" "What are you doing here?" "Well, what?" "Don't, Zoli." "We've talked about everything but this is somehow..." " What's the question?" " Your wife, man!" "I don't understand a thing." "Are you cheating on her?" "So these are just simple questions?" "Are you avoiding the subject or do you want to stay?" "What's this?" "Are you just a bit bipolar?" "Tell me that you are at least divorced!" "No, I'm not divorced." "Really?" "Even better!" "And is the ring in your back pocket?" "Fucking great!" "Is it really a wedding ring?" "Yeah." "I don't understand." "Is she on a trip somewhere?" "You're not cheating, are you?" "I realised we were on thin ice here." "No problem." "At least we've had a good chat." "She was called Vera." "She died." "Really?" "I mean..." "I'm sorry but..." "Seriously?" "It was a long time ago." "I don't want to spoil the evening." "That's bad." "Sorry... and I'm still curious..." "She popped out to get bum cream and got hit by a car." "She didn't even put her shoes on." "She just popped out because they had terrible nappy rash." "We used buckets of it." "She was outside the shop when a BMW missed the corner and hit some parked cars." "One caught Vera and crushed her against the wall." "That's terrible!" " Are we quits on the water now?" " Idiot!" "Were you together a long time?" "University..." "We met, marriage, worked together at school," "we tried, we had kids..." "Copybook stuff." "It's can't be easy." "Meeting a woman isn't easy." "No big deal." "Four years is a long time." "Folks tell me I should start meeting women." "I have to concentrate on that now." "The park is a good place?" "No it's not." "I wasn't planning anything yesterday." "Then what were you doing there?" "Do you know who hangs around in parks?" "No." "I just wanted to steal ten minutes for myself." "What?" "I sometimes take time in the day and I sit down if I feel like it." "So I sit and give myself ten minutes." "I switch off and enjoy the quiet." "You know... the kids are too much sometimes." "I believe you but what would I know?" "And what about the Millwall fans?" "I just made that bit up..." "I thought so." "I was going to ask what you were hiding with such a glorious metaphor." "Life is tough..." "But nothing in comparison..." "What?" "Nothing." "I'm not going to complain." "Do you want me to beg?" "Aren't we talking?" "December 5, 2006." "That was yesterday." "What about it?" "I got cheated on, left and... fucked up." "It was a bit too much." "I wanted to step out of myself and park up for a while." "Yesterday was seriously bad." "Then you understand what I am talking about." "Sure." "But I meant parking in a different way." "Come on!" "So they even cheat beauties like you?" "And they kick them out with both feet." "It doesn't really matter what the situation is visually." "The men around me always want variety." "Then perhaps you're looking in the wrong place." "Yeah." "You never cheated on your wife, I'll bet my life on it." "Never." "Really." "It never occurred to me that I might have another option." "I had everything." "I had my kids and I was ready to go the distance." "That's lovely." "It never occurs to you but it's routine for us." "She cheated on me once." "It was years ago." "I didn't know then." "We sorted through her stuff and I went through her box..." "Her what?" "You know... everybody has one..." "A box of secrets that they collect rubbish in." "A biscuit tin or a wooden box..." "anything..." "I've got a "Cheese Crispies" tin..." "So... she had one too that her grandfather gave her." "Did you open it?" "I hesitated for ages and I didn't want to." "I knew it would lead to no good and I didn't want to tempt fate." "Then I came home one day and the contents of the box were scattered all over the bed." "One of the stupid kids, Big Man, had been rummaging around but not put anything back." "They never do." "What was in it?" "Just a card." "There was her baby's wristband, her brace, her thousand-year-old condoms and a load of crap." "A shitty business card." "And?" "What do you mean?" "That all?" "If you're waiting for an amputated penis, you'll be disappointed." "Nothing?" "Just a piece of paper?" "Sometimes that's enough." "Meaning?" "It's nothing to do with you." "I don't even know your surname!" "Big Man?" "What does Big Man mean?" "My eldest son," "Baloo..." "Balázs." "He was only four when he woke me up one morning and said:" ""Daddy, something's wrong!" "What?" I said." "He said:" ""There's a bone in my willy!"" "So I said: "What, son?" So he said:" ""There's a bone in my willy!"" " You're joking." " Sure." "Baloo was four when he had an erection and wanted to discuss it with me." "But I couldn't say:" ""We don't have to worry about that for a couple of years yet."" "Of course, he went and told Böbe the babysitter all about it and when I got back home, they told me my son had a new name:" "Baloo Big Man." "If he becomes a porno star, he won't have to think about a name." "Do you think I could use the loo?" "Sure." "It's just down there." "There." "Thanks." "Weren't you out on a date?" "It finished early." "I told Romper he got you a date did you tell him I waited half an hour in the park for him?" "He said he did too." "But he remembered the plaza for some reason and he sat there." "Why was that?" "!" "I'm not surprised." "At least I brought it." "Really?" "You're an angel!" "There's trouble at work again." "I reckon Laci is going to kick the old man out and I understand because he's not with it." "He brings the new supplies in the morning and then does nothing all day." "He's such a fool." "He asked what month it is today." "Understand?" "What month is it?" "!" "His wife is nine months pregnant and due on the twentieth and he doesn't know what month it is." "Is he real or what?" "So what happened?" "Was the guy so bad?" "He wasn't bad." "So then?" "Didn't you want another standby?" " It wasn't like that." " Hang on, I'll work it out." "Don't tell me that he dropped you?" "Not really." "Actually..." "He's a good guy so be nice to him." "Hello." "Sorry." "I didn't want to make you jump." "No problem." "I've used protection since '86." "Now this is interesting..." "Zoli, this is my brother Gabor, Gabor, this is Zoli." "Hello." "I was just leaving so I won't disturb you..." "Whatever men, you can stay." "I'm going to make this smoothie first." "I've been avoiding people all day so I don't find out what happened and now I can sit and enjoy the final." "That's one of the reasons I wanted to leave as soon as possible..." " Ooh..." " What?" "You know that there are some things I will never manage to get right..." "You didn't record it?" "!" "I know you asked me nicely and it was important but..." " No." " What's he saying?" "Are you serious?" "Really?" "!" "You stupid prick!" "Why?" "I don't fucking believe it!" "Three fucking buttons!" "Three fucking buttons!" "You really are a stupid fucking bitch!" "A monkey could have done it!" "Fucking hell fire!" "I'm going to get it for this you fool!" "Did you record the game?" "What for?" "Don't bother about that." "Did you?" "Why the fuck not?" "You recorded porn?" "Congratulations!" "Why?" "I didn't record it because Eszti had some shit going on." "And I want to watch a couple..." "Yeah, that..." "That really was great..." "I'm not going to get anywhere with you." "Yeah." "I missed it." "I had work and my sister fucked it up." "I know it's crap to watch a recording." "I'll think about it..." "Don't piss me off as well!" "You could have recorded it..." "Okay, tomorrow." " I really must go..." " Why now for fuck's sake?" "Please don't!" "Please don't be mad." "I thought I did it right..." "Okay." "What the fuck." "We've had worse weather." "I guess but I just didn't think it was so complicated." "She had a date with me so maybe that's why she didn't pay attention." " I wouldn't put money on it." " What?" "Shut up, idiot!" "Don't worry about him." "My brother is often..." "Yes?" "What?" "Forgiving?" "If that's a synonym for unbearable." "But what did he say?" "I don't understand?" "I didn't say anything!" "Forget it." "Sit down somewhere." "Eszti says she likes you so don't fret." "Will you make one while I read what happened?" "Have you got broadband?" "Aha." "I'm pumping twenty-five." "That is fast." "What final was it?" "Dunlop British Open." " Do you know what that is?" " Sure." "I won it..." "No, I don't know." "Squash." "In that glass box?" "Do you lot enjoy claustrophobia?" "What?" "Or just like running around for no reason?" "You not a great fan?" "It's a bit of a yuppie thing though, hey?" "What the fuck?" "We getting personal?" "I didn't mean it like that." "Sorry..." " What do you do?" "Where do you live?" " I'm a teacher..." "I was." "Really?" "You didn't say." "You surprised?" "I bet you teach literature..." " I'm a realist." " Physics..." " If you say PE, I'll die laughing!" "Chemistry." "Physics and Chemistry." "A man of science." "You told me you're an engineer." "Engineer." "Right!" "Vera taught in the same school." "Maths and PE." "Lady PE teachers are HOT." "Really?" "Mine were in primary and secondary..." " Really sexy." " You can stop that now." "Now what?" "I think they're sexy too, especially the one I married ...but she died." "I couldn't face teaching after that." "I requalified and now I work as an aero engineer." "Bollocks!" "That course costs millions." "Are you telling me?" "Really?" "Well, I don't know..." " She was your wife?" " Yeah." "But she preferred maths to PE." "Did she die suddenly?" "You could say that..." "That's better, isn't it?" "She popped out for a minute and got hit by a car." "That's messy." "It was." "I tried but I couldn't move the car." "I thought I could..." "It was so awful to see her crushed there but I just couldn't move it..." "And did the driver get locked up?" "They never found him." "He ran off." "That's so fucking typical..." " Does it really matter?" " He's right..." "I'm not sure." "I'm sure I'd sleep better." "He was a kid of about fourteen." "He used to joyride at the weekends." "He was in a 745 but he couldn't manage the corner." "Are you just saying that or is it really true?" "It's true..." "And why didn't they catch him?" " They wouldn't allow it." " Who?" "And the police?" "They never found out." "The kid was the son of the local gangster." "The old guy did the right thing and brought his boy along." "He got smashed up in the crash but he could still stand." "The father told me to do what I wanted but there would be no police." "And?" "I didn't go to the police..." "But why not?" "Come on..." "How can you say that?" "Like that..." "And so?" "What's that?" "It doesn't look like a scratch." "My arm broke in eight places." "How?" "I'm not used to beating people up." "It doesn't look so good but I bet you sleep better now." "And I thought you were full of hot air." ""Full of hot air"." "See how stupid that is?" "It doesn't mean anything." "Do you want to hear something funny?" "Always." "Isn't it funny that I have just realised who you are?" "If that's the punch line then not really..." "Do you really know me or is my face just familiar from somewhere?" " You said he likes to cook a bit." " Isn't it true?" "Don't be stupid." "Everyone cooks a bit but he's Volnyai..." " Really?" "Do you really know me?" "You made master chef at only twenty..." " Ever eaten any of my food?" " No." "No, I haven't." "My ladder doesn't reach that far." "Then you don't know much about me." "But I know more than most." "Really?" "We don't know each other but I have run into you plenty of times." "I watch you from a distance." "Sounds a bit sick but go on." "I know it sounds a bit geeky." "I came across your name a couple of years ago but I took no notice." "Then I saw you on the TV a year later." "It appeared on the screen so I knew what you looked like." "There was no sound so I don't know what it was about." "Then I saw you on a front page and I realised you're a chef." "And?" "Is this going anywhere or is it just a "sweet story"?" "I never thought we'd stand face to face." "Holding a joint." "There was a time when he was mad about chefs." "Fucking nice that he has never eaten at my place!" "Why don't you tell us where you got the ten million for the course from?" "It wasn't ten." "Not even close." "So how much was it?" "It definitely doesn't get state funding." "Seven and a half." "Hear that?" "Seven and a half." "Sounds like quite a bit to me." "Where did you get that much cash?" "Teacher man?" "I don't understand why someone like me can't have that much money?" "Well I don't and especially not for school." "Okay..." "So what could it be?" "You wrote a program..." "You invented a perfume?" "Property, wheeler-dealing..." "Or perhaps an inheritance?" "Sure, the Pope died and I got the proceeds..." "Then where from?" "I rumbled the flats." "Really?" "A bluffer..." "What?" "It was four years of my life but not anymore." "What?" "Rumbling what?" " He played cards." " Really?" "Looking like that?" "Internet and a lot of tea." "I think you're pulling my leg." "But I'm not." "Okay." "Then we'll have to have a game." "I have to tell you that I have never been any good but I've got a good idea." "Do we really have to?" "Go on." "It's all the same to you but I get to play with a pro." "Please say yes." "He loves stuff like that..." "But just one." " First ace?" " No need, I'll start." "Let's just play." "Deal!" "Put half on the bottom and then one for him and one for me." "Then keep the pack together." "Fold." "I'm fine..." "All in." "...not that fine." "Well, we soon reached the pathetic all-in stage." "Fucking deal..." "This is my last round." "One on the bottom and then three on the table..." "Face up." "Then one on the bottom and then one..." "One up." "Then one just the same." "I don't fucking believe it!" "Never a chance." "Not one!" "I waited but I never got a thing." "What have you got?" "A rotten pair of fours..." "Let's have one more quick game." "One last one, honestly, just make it good..." "I wanted to ask you something years ago." "Then it passed but I'd like to ask you again." "Let's double up." "But if I win again, you answer." "Sure." "But you're not going to win." "Honestly..." "Now what?" "What's he doing?" "Why aren't we playing?" "Okay, honestly." "King and queen here." "Now you." "You start." "I'm good." "Me too." "Great!" "Wait." "Let's only turn them up at the end." "It's more exciting for me." "One under, three up." "One under, one up." "The same again." "One up." "Not one good fucking card!" "Nothing!" "I've got nothing!" "March 7, '92." "We've known that this isn't your game since then." "He lost his first pay-packet and two of my piggybanks." "Where to so fast?" "Let's see what you've got." "Paper covered in print." "Then let's see." "Look at those two cards!" "How could you deal him that?" "I'm your brother and you deal him the trump." "What trump?" "This isn't bridge, you prick!" "I'm not surprised you lost." "You didn't even touch your cards." "You have my sister to thank for everything." "Now you're right there." "Now take a look at what I've got..." "What the hell's this?" "It's a thousand years old!" "Where did you get this from?" "God, I had such bad taste back then." "Look at that font!" "Really!" "Where did you get this from Zoli?" "What's that?" "It's Zoli's." "Dead old, serious stuff..." "But what is it?" "The winning lottery ticket he used to pay for the course!" " Seriously?" " Bollocks!" "My business card." "I'm reminiscing." " Really?" " But he won't tell me where it's from." "I've already told Eszti." "What?" " Why is he showing it to us?" " Shut the fuck up!" " Zoli, what is it?" " My business card!" "What are you doing?" "What are we shitting ourselves about?" "Is..." "Is that it?" "Really?" "How come?" "What?" "He found it in his wife's things." "What?" " What did you say?" " I think you heard." "Just not sure about the intonation..." "So?" "So now what?" "Why the fuck did you show us this?" "I don't want to play guessing games so spit it out and we'll move on." "Sorry, I didn't want to make you angry..." "Don't apologise, TALK!" "I hate being taken from behind." "If look at my sister" "I know something's wrong but I don't know what it is." "I only..." "I wanted to know..." "I want to know if..." "Is it possible..." "that you slept with my wife?" "What?" "Is this some kind of joke?" "So?" "What?" "He beat you at cards and you said you'd give an honest answer." "Oh, I remember now." "If I had known what this fucking trap was, I might have paid more attention." "It wasn't a trap." "I just... it doesn't mean..." "I just... just... need to know." "I could put a full stop at the end of a sentence..." "I've wanted to ask for ages..." "Will you tell him, now?" "Zoli..." "My brother's gay..." "Do you understand?" "He's queer like that other gay bloke." "That's his boyfriend!" " You mean..." " Yeah..." "Really?" "And are you sure?" "I mean..." "Do you know what's funny?" "He's always asking me that!" "And... have you always been?" "Jesus, this is starting to sound like therapy!" "Is this some kind of personal sexual retrospective?" "I know I'm being cheeky..." "I just don't understand." "Haven't you ever slept with a woman?" "You could say "none of your business" but you owe him..." "I know: "honestly"." "What should I say?" "Of course I slept with women." "Life is about trying everything." "But that stopped eight years ago..." "And if it happened eight years ago?" "What was her name?" "Because you remember names..." "I doubt she introduced herself." "Really?" "How impolite!" "Something..." "There was something written here." "There was." "What?" "Do you really not know or have you realised and you're playing the fool?" "You really have got something stuck!" "I really am sorry if I did sleep with her but that was eons ago..." "This whole thing seems so simple." "Why is it that I can say exactly if I slept with another woman, whether it was ten or five years ago or yesterday?" "What can I say to that?" "We're not the same." "No." "But I don't think I have to be ashamed of myself." "Where are your balls, faggy?" "Sorry but I don't remember everything." "Then try to tip." "Did you have any one-night stands around then?" "I'd be stupid to deny it." "How come you're backing him?" "I'm your brother." " How could you have got me into this position?" " It just sort of happened..." "Right." "Things are always "just happening" to you." " Did you sleep with her?" " With who?" "I don't even know who we are talking about!" "Don't you think this is absurd?" "You want to know if I screwed your wife but I don't have a clue who she is." "In fact, I don't know who you are either." "Do me a favour." "Look at the photo, answer and I'll leave." "Seriously." "I am not going to look." "No." "This is all a pile of shit!" "It's my fucking flat and you're nobody to me so call the police if you want me to look!" "Don't shit yourself." "He's just shouting his mouth off." "Go through with it or you really are a slimy bastard." "Answer him..." "It's his wife, you prick!" " Look at it!" " Okay, I'll look!" "And then what?" "It's not that simple!" "I might recognise the photo but what the fuck happens if I don't?" "The picture makes no difference." "I forget things and mix them up much more than you think." "I should say: "Yes, sorry." "I really did sleep with her and it wasn't bad." "I had a bad day and I needed to get over it."" "But I can see it's important to you." "You're moralising and you fucked his wife?" "Stop it, it's not funny." "Don't you want to get it over with?" "Then look at the picture and we'll move on." "You're playing the prima donna." "Listen." "Who the fuck are you and where do you know me from?" "I don't know you." "I know her." "His wife..." "Shut it." "This is big fucking shit so sort yourself out." "You dragged me into a very bad joke ...and sorry if I'm not laughing." "This whole thing stinks." "Was it Alex?" "He put you up to this, didn't he?" " He's always going on about this!" " I don't know what you're talking about." "About that queer on the wall!" "About that jealous prick who will never be able to trust me." "Sound familiar?" "That one with the perfect pedigree." "I've always known who I am and I never was a standard faggot!" "Don't tell me he didn't give you the photo!" "I don't know what you're going on about but I'm glad you have a reason to remember." "She is my wife." "We were great together and I sometimes miss her like hell." "You slept with her and Vera kept your card and not by chance." "Really?" "Is she really your wife?" "I'm sorry." "She was the last woman in my life." " Really?" " Some things you never forget." "I've regretted it a thousand times." "He'll never let me forget." "Did you pick her up?" "I've never forced myself on anyone." "I only go with those who come with me." "Well she did..." "It was the first time she deceived me." "The first and the last time." "Shall we have a drink?" "Not me." " I'm going home." " Not yet..." "We'll roll you a light one and we can relax a bit." "Thanks but no thanks." "They're expecting me and it's late." "You know you're rushing off?" "I can." "Stay for half an hour and I'll drive you back." "This idiot will lend us his car." "I'm not a big car fan." "I'll make my own way back." "He got what he wanted." "Let him go!" "That's right..." "I really am sorry." "No you're not." "You can't even contemplate it." "Weren't you going to show me your toe?" "A lot's happened since then." "Do you really want to see it?" "Okay then." "Well..." "I don't know what the word is." "Pathetic?" "There must be a better one." "It was a lovely evening." "Thanks." "I promise you won't have another one like it." "I'm glad." "I never counted on this." "I was lucky..." "I'm not so sure." "Yes you are." "Promise that you'll call me." "You've got my number, hey?" "Really." "This started off as a date." "Not a fucking word!" "Drink some of this." "It's the real thing..." "The photo!" "Did he leave it here?" "What?" "March 2, '98." "What about it?" "You were a dickhead on that day too." "Constancy is my strength." "So... fucking... funny!" "What the shit's wrong with you now?" "March 2." "Nothing?" "Don't you remember?" " No." " No idea?" "It looks like I fucked that guy's wife." "To me!" "What happened to me?" "We're not always talking about your fucking life!" "Don't you know?" "I was out of my head for two years!" "Matt the shithead?" "Yes!" "You stupid bastard!" "Why are you so upset?" "I don't understand the connection?" "That's the day he disappeared and you didn't give a shit." "Was that the date?" "Like you care!" "You'll only forget tomorrow!" "Okay, that's enough!" "No." "You're an egotistical fag!" "I waited for you in the bar for an hour." "And then you left?" "I cried on someone else's shoulder." "I didn't need you." "So?" "Hers." "A total stranger." "Really?" "Did you talk to her?" "At least she listened." "It seems she had an effect on everyone." "Did you listen to her?" "Did you know what her problem was?" "But you fucking fucked her." "I admit I was a bastard..." "No, you were an idiot!" "You slept with her!" "How could you?" "I fucked her and you used her like a dustbin." "What's the difference?" "You pathetic, self-centred pig!" "You don't understand anything." "You just ride roughshod through life and you haven't got a clue about a thing..." "She was in trouble and you crapped on her." "Just like you crapped on me." "Hey, you?" "You left the picture..." "I can't believe I left it there." "Thanks, I guess your brother doesn't need it..." "No I don't think he does." "Did you run?" "No." "Fresh air makes me breathless." "You're not going to faint, are you?" "I'm sorry that things turned out like they did." "It all worked out badly." "My brother is a lovable prick but sometimes even he doesn't know what he's getting into..." "It's terrible that he screwed your wife but... perhaps it had to happen." "Do you want to say something?" "I'm trying but I'm not sure if it's a good idea." "Did something happen?" "Not a lot." "I saw the photo." "Vera." "Your wife." "Beautiful, hey?" "March 2, '98." "That was a fucking terrible day for me." "Millwall fans?" "I'd been seeing a guy for four years when he said:" ""We don't know anything about the world or other people." "We are pathetic in trying to find our true love in one district." "People go on about the love of their life when they met in the local video shop."" "He wanted more... more chance for himself..." "He didn't love you enough..." "I know that now but... that was eight years ago." "I was just a stupid kid." "I went to see my brother but he was busy doing something else." "I waited for an hour." "I sat at the same bar as Vera." "Really?" "My wife?" "Did you talk to her?" "I cried on her shoulder." "I still don't understand how it happened... it could be a vague memory but it's not because she was the one who made realise that I had to move on because more important decision had to be made." "Why do you say that?" "Because I'm still very grateful to her." "And there was a time when I wanted to know her decision." "I never ever dreamt that my brother would get off with her..." "But he did." "I wanted to think she sat down and talked to you about it." "She never did." "Do you know what her problem was?" "Did she tell you?" "I never thought she'd tell anyone..." "So, you knew?" "I didn't then but" "I do now." "I'm sorry." "It's bad that I never had the chance to discuss this with her." "She robbed me..." "of the opportunity." "She wanted to make sure..." "And would I have made such a mess of it?" "How did you find out?" "I went to see the doctor two years ago." "That rotten card!" "Everything depends on a piece of paper." "If the date hadn't been suspicious." "If it hadn't fixed in my mind, it would never have turned out." "I didn't want to know." "But I couldn't relax until I found your brother." "Why didn't you look for him earlier?" "I was a few feet away from him..." "But then I worked it out and I didn't need him." "I've been over it for two years." "And two years ago?" "When I went for the test, they knew straight away." "I couldn't believe it." "I just stood in the middle of the room for a whole day." "We loved each other, we managed everything else but why couldn't we manage this?" "She wanted to give birth." "Give birth." "To give life." "To be a mother." "She didn't want to lose you and she believed in adoption..." "But she was scared that you'd insist." "Did you tell him?" "No." "It's got nothing to do with him." "But you'll tell them, hey?" "Sometime." "You know they're really yours." "Yes." "And one is already a Big Man." "I didn't know if I should say or not." "Then you ran..." "And I ran out of breath..." "It's good I didn't have to..." "I'm glad I could help." "Go home before you catch a cold..." "We'll be in touch." " Sure?" " Sure." "I've had enough of you for one day." "And you?" "I'll just schlep around." "You see?" "That's another one... written and directed by" "producer" "co-producer" "director of photography" "edited by" "music"
