If you love her like you love yourself,

how much do you love me?

I love you, like,

more than I love everything.

I love you infinity.

I love you like ten thousands Lazes.

A million Lazes.

Sam?

- I think we've got money problems.

- Yeah, I know.

We've got so much of it

that you decided you want to

settle a 4,000 rand bill, remember?

I'm an idiot, I know.

I think my ego got the better of me.

You know what my solution is.

Ive told you this

We could just sell this place

and get a smaller place.

There are such cool apartments

in Killarney.

But... we love this place.

This is our placeto have kids

and grow old.

People have babies all over the place,

all around the world.

Could have a baby in a mud hut.

Plus, I'm not in a rush to have children.

I spent my teens raising my brother.

I curse your brother.

Your brother's costing me a family.

Leave my brother, stop it.

I'm sorry.

But we're not getting any younger.

- And I thought you loved this place.

- I do.

I think we could use our money

to do something else,

something different,

not just a house in the suburbs.

- I've got that series of talks at UCT.

- Yeah.

It's a good check. Piss easy.

Could use the money

to squash the overdraft.

"Head above water" vibes.

That's so romantic.

We should be flying to somewhere exotic

like India or South America,

have magic mushrooms,

run away naked in faraway forests.

You can focus on your writing.

And then we can talk about babies

and a big house.

We'll be deep in our 40s by then.

We'll have babies

that we take out to the shops

and everybody will be going, "Oh, wow.

What cute grandchildren you have.

What cute grandchildren."

- Anyway, guess what I'm doing this week.

- What?

I finally got that interview

with Herbert Gwala.

Wow, well done!

- I was hassling his people for two months.

- I know, I was here.

I was here when you were hassling there.

They finally agreed. I'm meeting him

at his house for the interview.

His house?

No. He's gonna try to shag you. Obviously.

You know, I was reading up about him.

He's an alchemist.

He turns women into wives and fuckbuddies.

He's gonna totally try to shag you.

I could just whore myself to him

for a couple of million, Max.

You never know.

He'll say, "Oh, here, babies.

Here's a diamond mine.

Can I f*** you now?"

Then I say, "Yes, Pootie.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend."

That's the spirit.

Taking one for the team.

Squashing overdrafts.

Yeah, right. You should get going. Okay.

- Love you.

- Get out of here.

Get out of here, you diamond mine whore.

I'm putting moneyintoa microbrewery

with some students.

- You interested?

- No.

Sounds like hipster nonsense.
