if you put them all together?

Hello?

- Is that Mel?

- Yes, speaking.

Erm, I found your number

in my bag. I have epilepsy.

Sorry, but I... I just

don't really know who you are.

Oh, is that Lily? Are you OK?

Yeah, fine, thanks.

Oh, it's lust that

I was worried about you.

Why?

I was coming out of the tube

on my way home from work

and you were just lying there.

I wanted to cal! An ambulance but...

- But I kicked off?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just what I do.

I just can't stand ambulances.

Oh, yeah, that's alright.

Actually I'd... I'd like to meet you

then and say thanks property.

Oh, right. Oh, erm...

Yeah, I just don't really know that many

people in London and I'm not a loon,

- if that's what you're thinking.

- No. No, no, no.

Of course not, it's just, erm...

Alright then, well, take care

and thanks again, yeah.

OK, listen. Erm, what about tonight?

A drink tonight?

OK, yeah. Erm, great.

Cool. I'll text you an address. Yeah?

Brilliant.

- Excuse me, please.

- Oh, Lily. Lily.

- You're Mel.

- Yeah.

- So anyway, thanks for meeting me.

- Yeah, sure.

And listen, you were...

You were fine, by the way.

Erm, so don't worry about it.

Just a bit dazed and, er,

you didn't say very much.

You were sort of more muttering

and, erm...

Gosh, that sounds awful, I'm sorry.

Oh, no, that's what I do.

It's like being blah-di-blah

on about something when you're pissed

and you've no idea the next day.

Thrash, get up, get on with it,

that's what I say.

Yep. Erm, er, so you told me

the name of a hotel.

We jumped in a cab

and we went straight there.

And you kept mentioning a Mikey.

Mikey'?

- My brother.

- Hmm.

Yeah, he's lost, you know,

that's why I'm in London.

I found his ex, though.

Right miserable cow.

Gosh, that must be, erm, must be

tough, the bruises and stuff.

What people must say. Sorry,

I didn't mean to embarrass you.

Honestly, I didn't mean it like that.

It's just that when I was younger

I was covered in cuts and bruises all

the time cos I beat up my little sisters

- and my big brothers beat me up...

- Just hearing her talk,

the brick in my stomach

turned into a flower.

And you kept saying Al.

You were saying you wished I was Al.

- Yeah, he's my boss.

- Right.

I could just see him here.

He'd be asking where the karaoke is.

- You leaving town?

- No, no, I'm just getting a new hotel.

I found out how much

the other one were costing me.

OK. Erm, where's the new hotel?

Oh, I dunno yet.

I'm gonna have a look around.

- What, now'?

- Yeah.

Lily, don't you think it's a bit late

to be looking for a hotel?

It is a bit late

to be looking for a hotel.

Listen, I have a spare room at my place
