I'm just so...

Why are you doing this?

Because I'm... I'm just...

Tell me you thought about me

because I can't stop thinking about you.

I wanna hold you.

I've thought about you.

Call me tomorrow.

- Hey, are you ready?

- Hey.

Just coming. I borrowed a book. Camus.

Oh, great. Perfect.

It'll really set off the rest.

You have bookshelves in your bathroom.

I'm lucky enough to.

It was great to see you guys again.

We should do something, just you and me.

- We always say that but...

- That'd be great. Later this week?

Really? Lunch maybe?

Great.

We should get together more often.

Right. I can't believe

it was May the last time.

God, it's unbelievable.

- See you.

- Bye.

Bye.

Three-minute cool-down.

It's actually a shitty place to run.

It's a nice, old gym.

It's quiet but there's no girls around.

That's why we can't get in here

during the week.

- I left a message.

- F***.

- He's busy.

- Right.

- Papers to grade. What a life.

- True.

He's the smart one.

- It's humid today.

- No sh*t.

F***ing boiling.

Even with that AC on, you sweat

your dick off, have a heart attack.

Do you wanna meet later?

- Why? We just ran.

- I've got that corporate membership.

- So?

- I can get you in.

Hey, I don't need anybody to get me in.

Especially with those office a**holes

at lunchtime.

- No offence. I hate that.

- Hold on a second.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm saying there's a lot of women there.

So?

Are you expecting me to change

my routine for those people? Fat chance.

Ladies want to see us,

they'll quit their designer workouts

and drag their fat cans

over here and run, OK?

Even though I think this is

a f***ed place to exercise, I do it.

- To spite them.

- Who?

Everybody.

Hi.

- How are you?

- Fine, thanks.

Is this a part of a collection

or is it...

No, it's just a single piece.

- Nice, isn't it?

- Very.

- First time here?

- Hm-mm. You?

No, I work here.

- Work? Really? Are you an artist?

- No. Artist's assistant.

You mean a secretary, right?

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. You?

- Writer.

- Oh. Anything I might have...

Not unless you read

the sides of your tampon box.

What brand? I like to keep up.

- Advertising, right?

- Yeah.

- That's great.

- Especially if you're a tampon.

No, it...

It's nice to be good at anything.

- Who said I was good?

- I'm guessing.

This really is a lovely piece.

Yeah, it is.

Can I buy you lunch?

Honey. Should I go for the...

What's this called, loden? Or the...

Er, yeah. No, the salmon, I think.

Yeah, he's right here.

No, I mean in the house. Yeah.

No, I don't want to put him on.

Please, stop.

I have to go. He's coming. Yeah.

OK, yeah, it was good
