Sliding Doors Page #2

Well, it depends.

Which story do you want first?

What?

Well... I got mugged. And...

What are you doing?

I can't stand Elton John.

You know that

Well, anyway... listen, tell me...

...what happened?

What happened to your head?

Well, I got mugged

and sacked only not in that order

Although it wasn't an actual mugging,

it was only an attempted mugging

according to the policeman...

...because they didn't...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

wait a sec, wait a sec.

Come here... Come here

Now sit down. Just sit here. Okay?

Now... now you're in shock, darling,

okay. You've had a bit of

a little bit of a shock. Okay?

Now just relax

Um... do you want a brandy?

It's four in the afternoon

Of course it is... sorry

Gerry!

Are you okay?

Me? I'm fine... Um, I'm fine.

I'm just... No, anyway, anyway

Tell, tell, tell me what happened

And I just couldn't help

thinking...

if I had just caught that bloody

train it would never have happened

I'd have been home ages ago

Oh, well, you don't want to go

wondering about things like that

You know, um,'if only this',

and 'what if that'. I mean...

It's done now

Come on

Follow

Splash

I'm going to take you out...

Thank you

Um, and then follow, follow,

follow, follow, follow...

and then when you've sung all your

favourite Barbra Streisand songs

at the top of your voice...

and got us slung out of the pub...

Ah, here we are. Yeah, put this on

I'm going to let you have intimate

...which I know your diet

does not allow, with a...

which you can then, er...

...puke up all over the, er...

and Frau Goebbels next door and...

Oh, I love you, Gerry

Gerry! She's not here!

Anna, you're Helen's best friend.

I mean, where else would she be?

Come in and search the place

if you want. She's not here, Gerry

What is it you've done anyway? It can't be

that nice if she's walked out on you

Okay, look, I, I'm sorry.

Look, if she comes here...

...just let me know or, or get her

to ring me or, or something

That's all I ask

Like you say, Gerry,

Well, she's got a point...

You can't stand Elton John

Russell, forget about Elton John.

That's not the issue. What do I do?

Gerry...

you've been telling me for weeks

...and you wish you hadn't
