Enduring Love Page #5

You know what I want.

Not now. For f***'s sake, I am having

my lunch. This is just f***ing stupid.

- I'm not giving up, you know.

- I know, yes.

Look, I'm really sorry about this.

This is one of my many fans.

Very quick. Very quick.

- You've got it screwed on, haven't you?

- Look, go away. Please.

Come on, Joe.

Jo-Jo.

Look, stop calling me that, please.

- Just listen.

- No, no, I am not listening. Look...

Please, just piss off.

This is driving me f***ing mad.

We can't go on like this, Joe,

just give in to it.

You can't live your life in denial.

- I am not in denial.

- Yes, you are.

- I'm not.

- You are.

Look, I'm not in denial.

Now, I don't even know you,

you mad bastard.

- Yes, you do.

- No, I don't.

- You do.

- I don't!

I think you do.

Better than you think.

Joe, Joe, cool it. Cool it.

- Cool it, man.

- Good idea.

Sorry.

I'm sorry. I just...

It really pisses me off.

- What's he done?

- Doesn't matter.

Well, it obviously does.

Did.

How's Claire?

Nice piece in The Guardian.

She must be thrilled about the award.

You both must be thrilled about it.

It's great. Very good.

I mean, why is he following you, anyway?

- I mean, what have you done?

- I haven't done anything.

You must have done something

or he wouldn't be following you.

You know, he... he...

well, you know, he just turned up.

- Careful, OK.

- Yeah.

He turned up and... and...

...and I recognised him and...

I smiled at him.

- Why?

- Well, why not?

You don't even know him,

why smile at him?

I felt sorry for him, that's all.

Well, don't encourage him, OK?

- That's ready to be dipped.

- Righto, then.

- Thank you.

- I'm just being friendly to him.

We've both been through this like,

really like awful, awful experience.

- It's been really, you know, I mean...

- Joey. Joey, I'm at work, OK?

I can't deal with this now.

Can we talk about this later?

- I'm trying to explain to you...

- What?

...that it's just really difficult.

- It's because nobody understands.

- I do.

Do you? Do you really understand me?

- Do you want me to talk to him?

- Of course not.

I want to find out what his problem is.

There isn't a problem.

There's no f***ing problem. It's fine.

Maybe he's suffering

from post-traumatic stress.

- He probably is, yeah.

- Maybe you both are.

No? I think you need to see somebody

and talk about all this.

- I'm talking to you.

- I mean somebody professional.

Professional.

- Why won't you let me talk to him?

- Because I don't want you to.

All right, that'll do you.

He was always traipsing off somewhere.

Having adventures.

Orphanages in Yugoslavia.

And... inoculation safaris in Uganda.

Very gung ho.
