Enduring Love Page #2

Hes just sort of weirdly familiar,

like he knows me

or we're old friends or something.

Well, maybe he's lonely.

Yeah.

That's what I thought. Just lonely.

He's very friendly.

Well, he sounds nice.

Joe?

So, we're saying

art is just an evolutionary tool.

Perhaps all sorts of complex human

behaviour serves the same purpose.

Perhaps moral behaviour's another one.

Fairness. Kindness. Self-sacrifice.

So... So, it's nothing to do

w-w-with character

or... or p-personality,

or, you know, simple... goodness.

Maybe that's an illusion, too.

Wow.

That's excellent.

She's kind and er... bright

and she has a good sense of humour and...

The trouble is, she only speaks Polish.

Where did you meet her?

She's the au pair.

Classy. That's very classy.

But she is... so much more than that, um...

You're my sister.

You're supposed to say something nice.

F***ing hell!

- When we get married...

- Uh-huh.

...if we get married...

- Yeah.

...we'll have so many children that if you

left, the child support would cripple you.

I mean, what if you run off

with the au pair, anyway?

We haven't got an au pair.

I mean, if we get one.

Depends what she looks like.

You might be tempted.

Can't imagine that happening.

- Well, how can you be sure?

- I meant, I can't imagine being tempted.

I don't want to leave it too late, Joe.

Ah!

Procreation and all that stuff.

Well, you know, we'll cross that bridge

when we come to it.

I think we have come to it.

- What now?

- Mm.

Psst!

I thought you said we weren't

going to see each other again.

Haven't you got something

to say to me?

You've got to stop following me like this.

This is getting a bit weird.

Well, why don't you write it

in your lovely book?

Go on, no-one can see.

Yeah, well, OK.

- How's that?

- Why can't you write it down?

- What?

- I think you know.

Jez, I don't know what this is about,

but it's...

- Jed. Jed, it's just Jed.

- What?

Jed. You signed it to Jez.

- It's Jed.

- Sorry.

How's that? OK?

Were you christened Joe or Joseph?

- What?

- It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Joey. Jo-Jo.

Don't you think it's time

you faced up to who you really are?

Who I am. I don't...

- Um... sorry?

- "The fruit of the Spirit is love. "

- What?

- Love.

- Galatians, chapter five.

- Oh, Jesus, no. Come on.

Joe, Joe.

- What have I done to you?

- You haven't done anything to me.

I can't control my emotions like you can.

I know this gives you power over me.

I don't know where you're going with this.

There's nothing I can do about it.

But please, don't put on this act.

- What act?

- If this is a joke, it's got to stop.

- It's hurting us both. It's f***ing us up.

- I don't know who you are.
