Closer Page #2

-You're judgmental.

-You're devious.

I'm not wasting her time.

She's completely lovable.

And completely unleavable.

And you don't want someone else

getting their dirty hands on her.

-Men are crap.

-But all the same - -

They're still crap.

Your muse.

-You've ruined my life.

-You'll get over it.

Dan.

Your shirt.

You all done?

-How's the photographer?

-Good. Professional.

Rigorous. Beady. One of your lot.

-What, female?

-Americano.

Come on.

Anna?

-Alice.

-Hi.

-Sorry to interrupt.

-No, we've just finished.

-Would you like some tea?

-No, thanks.

I've been serving it all day.

Can I use your loo?

Sure. Just through there.

She is beautiful.

-I've got to see you.

-No.

What's this? Patriotism?

-I don't want trouble.

-I'm not trouble.

You're taken.

-I've got to see you.

-Tough.

-You kissed me.

-What are you, 1 2?

I'm a block of ice.

Will you take my photo?

I've never been photographed

by a professional before.

I'd really appreciate it. I can pay you.

No, I'd like to.

Only if you don't mind.

Why should l?

Because you'll have to go away.

We don't want him here

while we're working, do we?

No, we don't.

Right. I'll be in the pub on the corner.

Have fun.

Thank you.

-Good luck with your exhibition.

-Good luck with your book.

So you've got an exhibition?

Yeah.

I read Dan's book.

You've had quite a life.

Thanks.

He said you work in a caf?

I am a waitress.

That's a temporary thing?

No.

Why don't you come over here and sit?

-You live here?

-I do now.

Because you're single?

Who was your last boyfriend?

My husband.

Was he English?

-Very.

-What happened to him?

Someone younger.

You've got a great face.

Doesn't everyone?

I suppose so.

I just....

From the book,

somehow I thought you'd be less....

What?

I don't know what, exactly.

How do you feel about him using your life?

It's really none of your business.

When he let me in downstairs...

he had this look.

I just listened to your conversation.

I don't know what to say.

I'm not a thief, Alice.

Do you want a drink?

I have some vodka in the fridge.

We could have a drink.

Just take my picture.

Good.

Sh*t.

What's the histology?

Progressive?

No. Sounds like an atrophy.

Okay. Bye.

Bollocks.

Jesus.

Anna?

I got the coat.

The white coat.

So I see.

I'm Larry. The doctor.

Hello, Dr. Larry.

Feel free to call me "The Sultan."

I can't believe these things actually happen.

I thought if you showed up,

you'd be an old trout.

But you are bloody gorgeous.

Well, thank you.

Fish. You gotta respect them.

-Have you?

-Of course.

We were fish. Long ago.

Before we were apes.

You mentioned a hotel.

No rush.

Actually, there is.
