doggie bag,

as in leftovers.

Bonnie's dead, remember?

Bonnie's dead?

- Bonnie's dead!

- Yes, yes.

Well, well, when?

Why didn't somebody tell me?

Oh, Annie...

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't somebody tell me?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

The usual, boring.

I was wondering...

if you would like to go

out to dinner.

I can't, darling.

I've got tons to do.

Oh, come on.

It's Friday night.

I'm onto something here.

Really, I...

I can't just stop now.

Fine.

Starve then.

You're not going

to need that today.

Um...

You're going on

afield trip.

Hmm, what about the Shrew?

She's in London with Posy

for an audition, so... let's go.

Are you following me

Or am I following you?

Tell me, how do you do

What you do

Come with me.

'Cause the truth is

I never thought two

So where are we going?

You'll see.

Could ever come

Close as we do

You are very quiet.

Have I bored you to death?

No... the opposite.

It's just...

My dad was never around

to talk to about him...

Arthur.

All I have are a collection

of his books my mum gave me.

That's your experience,

Emelia.

That's you.

And it's your experiences

that shape you as a writer.

When I wrote The Cliff House,

it was me.

It ripped everything I had

from my soul.

It devoured me.

And it's left me

with nothing.

But, f***, it was good.

Even if you do

say so yourself.

If I could bottle you up

in an essence or two

I would sip you forever

and never need you

'Cause I howl at the moon

and the sun and the sea

But I wish I could tell

what this spell is on me

And I don't know how you do

what you do

But Shakespeare has nothing

on words like you do

Don't know how you do

what you do

Please do it to me

Thank you.

That was one of the best days

of my life.

There was no one at the desk

when we got in,

so we helped ourselves

to our key...

only to find that the room

wasn't cleaned.

It's not on.

No, it's not,

but I left my husband

manning the fort today,

and you know

what men are like.

No.

In the book,

the rooms are clean.

Look.

Here and, uh, here

and here.

"The room sparkles. "

It says it.

Where have you been?

Meeting a new editor.

I'm Jonathan Fischer,

the author.

Hi...

Actually, the room

was sparkling...

with energy and atmosphere.

Yeah, right, yeah,

of course.

The room is through here,

if you would like to take

your Wife for a tour.

Yeah.

Lovely.

Let's go.

Come on, Margaret.

Bring the cagoules

Jonathan,

how could you not have noticed

that that bloody girl...

didn't turn up?

Oh...

didn't she turn up?

You said, "bloody"

Bethany!

Oh, yeah

Ooh

Mr. Big Stuff I

Who do you think you are?

Mr. Big Stuff I

You're never gonna get
