make it today #

# Food is fine

# And the weather is okay

# We've made it so far

# So why should we ever

be lonely anymore #

# Like this

All right, bye.

Hey, Alice.

Hi.

So, do you live around here?

Um, yeah. Well, just recently,

since Charlie and I broke up.

I'm not really doing the whole

fashion thing anymore.

Yeah, Felix mentioned that.

You're an actress now.

Yeah, just getting

my headshots together.

Oh, great!

Well, it's a shame

you're not modelling.

Got a catalogue coming up.

It's a shoot that

might've suited you.

But if you've moved on

to higher things...

Well, I wouldn't

say "higher."

Oh, I would.

Got time for coffee?

Um, yeah, sure. Okay.

So, how come you

came back to London?

Hello. What can I get for you?

Um, soya cappuccino, please.

Um, yeah, same.

You know, Felix is

besotted by you.

Well, you know what he's like.

You know, sometimes you want

what you can't have.

I thought he had had you.

Like, a few times.

No. We kissed once.

Thanks.

Thank you.

It's nothing though.

I think he's just

trying to escape Suzi.

So what about you? You're not

with your husband anymore?

Oh, no. I've moved on.

I think I'm gonna reinvent

myself as an old maid.

Perhaps I'll start

wearing black.

More black?

More black.

Says he loves me,

but that's a lie.

'Cause he ain't got the silver,

and he ain't got the gold.

And he got me no more.

Woo!

Oh, thank you.

Cute.

Baby, please.

What?

I wanna read.

Come on.

Baby, just read a book.

What?

Read a book?

Okay, Marlon. Okay.

Okay, fine. Fine.

I'll read a book. Hm?

Ooh.

"All such cases are irrelevant,

"because they presuppose the

principle of universality,

"and it is a central doctrine

"of the intellectual and

political culture

that the moral truisms must be

forcefully rejected."

Shut up.

So, what do you guys wanna do?

Um, go see that show?

What? Horace's?

No, I saw it last week.

It was awful.

Do you think they're coming

to the park?

How would they

find us?

GPS?

Has anyone seen Alice?

I think she's with Charlie...

or is he here?

Did you see her last night?

Alice?

Yeah. Yeah, I liked her--

Would you call that a bolero?

A short jacket.

You wear it open. No?

Hey, darling. When are you

coming home? I miss you.

But I was cooking you dinner,

something I saw on

Come Dine With Me.

What? Well, why not?

Felix...

I've got to go.

Felix!

Is it?

Bastard.

"Purple's my favourite colour.

I think it's slimming."

Not anymore.

Oh!

Nice pockets, Felix.

"Suzi, have you seen my pockets?

They seem to have disappeared."

Stop it!

# He left you all alone

# With the fires

# Growing near me

# At home with the lights out
