"Siobhan, why won't you share your baby-making techniques?" "Like shagging in Groundhog Day." "Your next assignment is Lisa and Alex's lesbian wedding." "I know it's not what you asked for but..." "I feel you'd be happier saying your vows somewhere more private." "You're right." "I tried to call, your number's not listed." "I had some funny calls." "'I still don't know what happened to Paul.

"Yeah, well, I'm still a bit on edge, but it's daylight and I'm just praying it was a one-off." "Truds, it WAS a one-off." "A blip." "A misfiring call centre in Bangalore." " Yeah." "I know."

"How the world will always have something to remember my dad by." " And is it working?" " Don't know yet." "Let's break for lunch, and pick this up in a little while." "Excuse me." "Oh, Sandra, sorry..." "I'll be back in one moment." "Dominic." "Could you come with me please?" "Sit down." "It was once, it was wrong." "Now get over it." "And never text me again."

"Who are you meeting tonight?" "just a friend." "What do you think?" "It's supposed to be relaxed and nonchalant." "You look like Marge Simpson." "So have you guys picked out what you're gonna wear?" "Nothing too outrageous." "Lisa thinks it'd be ridiculous for us to wear anything too, y'know, wedding-y." "Well, I suppose." " Yeah." "She's right." "She usually is." "So, it's suits for both of us." "Actually, I have to go and pick them up tomorrow." "I'd love your opinion." " I don't suppose you'd come with me, would you?" " Yeah. of course." "Thank you." "Can I ask you a question?" "It's a bit blunt." "OK." "Are you... shaggingSimon?" "I'll take that as a yes." "How did you know?" "You're gorgeous." "He's your boss." "And you're totally shameless about the fact that you think he's a prat." "What I really want to know, though, is, don't you get fed up of it?" "Always being second?" "No." "I'm first." "To me." "I mean, I get the life I want." "No kids." "No trips on Sunday to his parents." "And I don't have to lie and tell him that I love him." "So what's to get fed up about?" "A cool and rational argument." "Can I ask you a blunt question?" "When did you start dating women?" "About five years ago." "For Lisa." "The one before." "And I imagine you want to know why?" "It's not so much a mechanical issue, as..." "It's just men are so tedious... ..women are so beautiful." "Alex, can you come over here please?" " Leaving early?" "Not like you." " Dinner." "Lucky Hari." "What's he getting?" " Hi." " Hi." "Hon, I'm in here." "What are you doing home?" "Did Duggan make you partner or something?" "No." "I just..."

" I hate it when they do that." " Me too." "So, Amy tells me you're getting a Mercedes." "The children said they wanted a new car, but they won't be choosing it." "What would you get?" "oh." "I don't know." "Something fast." "Get me out of this, quick as possible." "I didn't mean..." "I meant, my life, generally." " Not specifically." " Oh, I know." "Good." " Thank you." " Thank you." "But, I mean, what do I know about cars?" "I mean the car we have is the same car that Paul bought ten years ago." "He used to take care of everything like that." "I wouldn't even know where to begin." "Losing him must have been..." "But you've obviously done an incredible job getting through it." "No, I haven't." "Not really." "Your girls are utterly charming." "Well, the apple didn't fall very far from the tree." "How...did you manage it?" "I mean, at first, it must have been so hard." "Erm..." "It was." "I would never have coped without my friends." "There's Katie." "She's, well, the best friend you could ever ask for." "Why are you watching this?" "It's research." "What were you thinking about in the room today?" "You." "And maybe your twin sister in school uniform." "Hari." " Mm?" " I love you." "I love you so much." "'I mean, I wish I could be more like Siobhan.'" "She's tough." "Practical." "You always know where you stand with Siobhan." "Y'know." "She never lets you indulge yourself in..." "Listen to me." "I've hardly even touched my food." "What about your friends?" "What are they like?" "Um... actuallyI haven't seen much of them for a while." "I think I have the kind of friends that run for the hills at the first sign of trouble." "Well, who do you talk to?" "I don't really like talking to anyone about my problems." "But your friends sound wonderful." "Yeah." "They are." " So I had a great time." " Me too." " Yeah." "Right." "The school run." " The school run." " I'm so sorry." " My fault." "I was..." "OK." "Goodnight." " Night." "Linden Park Road, please." "At last." "I was just about to start ringing round the hospitals." "'Are you ok?" "'" "Yeah." "Well." "I'm fine." "Good." "Glad to hear it." "So... whatdoyouwant?" "I want to talk to you." "Not about men." "'About cars.' Ah." " You off then?" " Yeah." " You nervous about today?" " What's to be nervous about?" " I'm going to get some answers." "Got to be a good thing, right?" " Yeah." "So I'll pick you up, what, 12?" " Yeah." "But will you mind...?" " Don't worry, I won't come in." "I'll call when I'm outside." "It's just you know what Duggan's like." "I know." "See ya." " All right, love." "Bye." " Bye." "Hi." " 'Hi, Katie, it's Sam.' - oh, hi, Sam." "'I'm hoping you're free for lunch?" "'" "Oh, Sam." "That's really..." "I can't." "I've got hundreds of..." "'Please." "I'd be very grateful.'" "Well. .." "Why don't we try and squeeze you in here?" "I'm sure if you pop by at about three, we could see you, how's that?" "'That's great." "Very kind of you." "But I need you to come and meet me." "Really...it's important." "OK." "Where were you thinking?" "The Bovary." "The hotel." "D'you know it?" "Yes." "Yes, I do." "See you at one then." "What are you doing in here?" "I'm on the final leg of my arduous, single-handed circumnavigation of the world." " Excuse me." " Dominic." "I'm serious." "We are lawyers who need to copy." "This is a copying machine." " What's the issue here?" " I don't want anyone seeing us together." "People see us together all the time." " Yes, but not..." " Behind closed doors?" "Please...." "Whatever you say." " Hi, Hari." " Hi, Dom." "How are you?" " Yeah." "Not bad, thanks." "Yourself?" " Yeah, fine." "Is Siobhan around?" "Yeah, I think so." "She's around here somewhere." "I'm not sure where..." "Probably hiding from Duggan, he's been working us like a bastard recently." " I've noticed." " Long hours, late nights..." " Hey, love." " Hi." "Sorry." " You weren't answering your phone." " It's OK." "Shall we go?" " Yeah." " Come on, then." " Yeah." " OK." "See you later, Dom." " See you, guys." "Saw him coming out the photocopying room." "Who's he sticking it up now?" "It isn't that funny though, is it?" "No." "Oh, come on." "It's a little bit Miami Vice, isn't it?" "D'you want me to remind you how much money you've just been given?" "So how was he yesterday?" "What did you find out about him?" "Ah..." "Not a lot." "Well, he could hardly get a word in edgeways." "I don't think he has many friends, though." "Don't you think it's a bit weird?" "I mean, he appears in your life, Mr Keen, the very day you get your cheque." "He didn't appear." "He'd been coming to school for weeks." "But only asked you out once he knew about the money." "would be the only reason, would it?" " No." "I didn't mean that." " Well, what do you mean?" "For years you've done nothing but tell me that I should have sex with someone else and now, when I'm finally up for it..." " You don't know anything about him." " That's never stopped you." "Well, I know he likes profiteroles." "And I know he's got the saddest eyes I've ever seen." "I really want this." "And..." "OK." "So I think of Paul and, I don't know..." "I don t know if he is..." "Hey." "I mean, why do I feel so guilty?" "just because you're the truest, kindest person who ever lived... and you just happen to be a little bit mad." "OK." "Back to the second-hand people-carriers." "Which is precisely my point." " Hi." "Hey." "Interesting choice." "Wasn't mine." "It's my dad's." "I found a series of credit card slips in his stuff." "All for this place." "Can I get one of those, please?" " Sure." " Thank you." "You think I'm being ridiculous, don't you?" "A little." "Yes." "But I'm sure you have your reasons." "I really would love if you could sign this." "For me." "It would mean a lot." "You'd better give me your little love note then." "oh, I'm sure you've got it with you." "To Sam Grey." "A pathetic little loser." "Love from Katie." "Now, let's have a look, shall we?" "Ah..." "Yes, I suppose the A is a little bit similar." "And the L. Yeah." "What do you think, Sam?" "Perhaps you've cracked it, hm?" "Or then again, perhaps you haven't." "Katie!" "Wait." "Stop." "Please, just stop." "Please stop." "Please..." "Will you stop?" "You have got a bloody nerve." "I am trying to help you." "I'm trying to be your friend." "I know." "I'm a loser." "You're right." "But I don't know what else to do." "I need you to tell me if it was you." "Sam..." "It wasn't me." "I'm so sorry." "I've been acting like such a creep." "After everything that you've done for me." "I just_ I I I really miss him." " What a nutter." " No." "Not a nutter." "I'm so sorry." "It's OK." "Is it?" "I've wanted to do that since I was 15." "Mr and Mrs Dhillon?" "Was that an 'everything's fine' smile or a 'you're screwed' smile?" " Your shoes." " Thank you." "If you're gonna try it on then you might as well do it properly." " Sorry." " Thank you." "Hari, Siobhan..." "How are you both?" " Fine." "Fine." " Good." " I know it's not the easiest thing." " No, no." "Wasn't much to aim at." "Indeed." "Well, we have the results of your semen analysis, Hari." "I'm afraid they weren't quite what we were hoping for." "The tests show there is very little live sperm in your ejaculate." "It's a condition called azoospermia." "So, we can't get pregnant?" " You might, it only takes one." " Well, then we should keep trying." "I would like to recommend we start fertility treatment." "I know this probably sounds like the end of the world, but I can assure you it's not." "We can get you there, trust me." " Let's just go home, shall we?" " I need to get to work." " Hari." "Please let me..." " Siobhan." "I need to go to work." "Bianca Jagger." "You look really great." "There's a 'but' somewhere, though, isn't there?" "Alex." " Did you choose the suit?" " Yeah." "But I didn't decide on suits." " What would you wear?" " I wouldn't." "It's not something I ever intend on doing." "So..." "What?" "You never imagined it?" "Not even when you were a little girl?" "No." "Not really." "oh." "Whatever." "I know what your problem is, though." " You do, do you?" " Yeah." "You want to wear a dress." " She's late." " She is." "Brilliant." "Bad day?" "Could say that." "Yeah." "D'you want to tell me about it?" "Bugger." "Bugger." "At least Trudi knows howto be late." "I'm serious." "I want to know." " Has anyone here ever kissed a girl?" " Don't tell me you're going lesbian?" "No." "Look." "I'm just curious." "So I'm asking." " Katie?" " No." "Sorry." "Trud?" "No. of course not." "OK." "I'm your token lezzer." "It was in a field in Glastonbury after I'd finished my finals." "So this girl was following me round all day." "And, um, she was cute, you know." "Suddenly she just put her hands in my jeans." "So... whatwasit like?" "Upside... instinctive,familiaritywithyour apparatus" "Downside... theirapparatusis thesameasyours ." " No knob." " No knob." "I have SOME NEWS." "Hari and I have discovered why we're having such a problem getting pregnant." "Male factor infertility." "Siobhan..." " You know it's not the end, you can always try..." " No, I know." "There's IVF, there's ICSI." "So we're not going to give up." "We'll keep trying..." "Absolutely." "Anyway, you, madam." "I want to hear about your schoolyard crush." "oh..." "Well." "Nothing, it's just..." "Apparently he's terribly handsome and terribly sad." "oh, good." "So when are you going to shag him back to happiness?" "Hope you're not going to try anything on." "He won't talk to me, Katie." "And I don't know what to do... or what to say to him." "Nothing." "God, we're supposed to be grown-up by now." "Everything supposed to be settled, and normal." "But we just keep getting it wrong." "How did life get to be like this, huh?" "I don't know." "It just went and did it when we weren't looking." " Hey, this is Trudi and..." "OK, now" " Cathy and Gina!" "OK!" "Please leave a message after the beep." "Por favor, ve al consultorio mañana... 8:30 a.m." " ¿No fuiste a trabajar?" " Quería verte." " ¿Qu?" "haces?" " Terminar lo que comenzamos." " ¿Qu?" "sucede?" " ¿Tienes que preguntarlo?" "Vamos." "Disfrutemos un poco." "Siobhan, detente." "Para, para..." "Adelante." " Hola." " Hola Sam, pasa y toma asiento ¿quieres?" "Quiero dejar esto muy en claro." "Eres un paciente muy importante para m?" ".." "Pero eres sólo eso, un paciente y es lo que siempre has sido ¿lo entiendes?" " Entiendo." " Bien." "Que no es lo mismo decir que te lo creo." "Mira, no s?" "qu?" "fue lo que hice o dije para darte esa impresión..." "¿Quién se preocupa por ti, Katie?" "¿Quién te hace sentir mejor?" "Porque, lo haría por ti." "Esta noche estoy solo, y me encantaría un caf?" "¿A las 8:00?" "Te ver?" "all?" " Buenos días." " Entremos que vamos tarde." "Bien niñas, vamos." "Vamos, rápido." " Mam?" "¿por qu?" "vamos tan rápido?" " Bueno, para ganar tiempo." " Adiós cariño."

"No me va la gasa, ¿verdad?" "Este no..." "Bien." "Veremos como solucionaremos esto." "Ahora ya estarás satisfecha porque no tienes que cuidarte t?" "del asunto." "No me refería a eso." "Quiero hablar contigo." "Podemos ayudarnos, si sólo hablásemos." " ¿Qu?" "hay que hablar?" " Hari, por favor." "Pensemos en qu?" "vamos a hacer, cómo solucionar esto." "¿Qu?" "sigue después?" "Tendr?" "que volver al médico y seguir un tratamiento y seguir adelante y no preocuparnos de eso porque el tener un hijo no es tu problema." "Eso no es justo." "I thought your were taking I the afternoon off?" "Yeah. just a couple of things I need to get on with." "Well?" "You look like Victoria Beckham." "Oh, thank you, darling." " Well?" " Good." "Please, not here." "Take me somewhere." "# I never loved nobody fully" "# Always one foot on the ground..." "You look amazing." "Can you do something else for me?" "Yeah, sure." "I can't decide." "I won't tell." "Richard?" "I'm so sorry, it's my sitter." "ronsanmas, she says." "But I'm thinking, boyfriend." "Well, I'm on my way." "I could get the cab to come to you..." " No." "No. num thank that..." "I mean, it would be nicer to go out." "Oh, OK, well, I'll tell him to turn round." "No." "Wait." "Um." "I'm sorry." "Come." "Please." "It'd be nice." "All right." "I'll see you then." " Bye" " Bye." " Hi." " Wow, you look...amazing." " Come in." " Thank you." " Oh, hi, Amy." " You look like Posh Spice." "Thank you." " Shall we?" " This way?" "just there." "just have a look in the fridge." "There's other food, but ..." "I wouldn't know what to do with it." "OK." "What else have you got?" "Well, it's a pity." "What?" "Well, no-one's ever going to get to see you in that and think to themselves, today I got luckier than anyone ever deserves to get." "I think I prefer your dress." "I should get out of this." "Don't." "I should get out of this." "This is everything I've wanted I since the first moment I saw you." "OK." "Finish peeling those, will you?" "You shouldn't have worried, you know." " About me coming over. " "I know." "It's not..." "What I wanted to say is that..." "Q rms at asm me." "Q This house, this kitchen." "All this tat." "It isn't me." "But it is." "My wife left us, six months ago." "I I was at work one day and I Amy's school called to say that no-one had picked her up and that was the first I heard of it." "All I ever heard of it." "Chop those into halves, will you?" "Sure." "I When Paul first went missing" " I erm, died - y'know, after 9/11..." "I started getting these phone calls." "Silent ones." "I thought it was him." "And then they stopped." "Just like that, and..." "Until the other night." "That's partly why I get a bit twitchy sometimes." " What happens?" " Well, apparently I talk complete bollocks at men who are polite enough - not to say, "Shut up"!" "I meant with the phone calls." "oh" "Um...well, nothing. just silence." "And so, you believe your dead husband's stalking you?" "Yeah." "I thought I had problems." "Katie, I'm glad you came." "Perfect timing." "Can I, um, take your coat?" "It's my favourite." "I haven't eaten as well as that - since I was about ten." "Domestic goddess." "You make me feel like Martha Stewart." " Before or after her incarceration?" " After, definitely." "You have an amazing laugh." "Thank you." "Erm..." "What are you doing?" "You have an amazing everything." "I'm going to take your silence as encouragement. ." "OK?" "See you tomorrow.?" "Yes." "See you tomorrow." "Thank you." "It was my pleasure." "I should go..." " If you're sure." " I am." "You're beautiful, you know that?" "Goodnight." "No, I have to go." "He was my husband." "There have been some phone calls from this hotel and we think they're from him." "I need to be alone with you, this is driving me crazy" "If Siobhan was with someone else - she'd be pregnant by now." " I've decided to have sex with Richard today." " I think you're flirting with me!" "That would be - badly behaved of me." "Sam. hi - Could you just give me one minute?" "You can't just turn up here, especially not with flowers."
