Red Knot Page #4

Look at them up there.

Chatting away.

Peter's really enjoying

being here. I can tell.

Probably getting in to practice

for his next big journey.

Good place to start.

You and Roger have

such a great...

rapport.

Yeah, well, that's, um,

'cause we've been married a long time.

You'll be there soon, you wait.

What are you going to do

when, um...

when Peter goes off on this next

big venture he's going to have?

- Which one?

- Oh, the book deal.

Walking to the poles.

Next year.

Book deal?

You know about this, don't you?

Book deal, yeah, it's uh...

It's great.

Um...

I think I'm gonna

go back to the boat.

So I'll see you back there later.

Whoo!

Hey.

Hey. I need to

talk to you.

Um...

Is there any way to

get off this boat?

Uh... no.

We're underway

in about 15 minutes.

I need a... I need a room.

I need a different room.

I need a new room.

We, uh, we don't have

any spare cabins.

Listen,

I'll have a word

with the steward.

Maybe we can

move somebody around.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Chloe?

What the f***?

Chloe?

Chloe?

What is going on?

Hey, don't ignore me.

What's going on?

Where'd you go?

I come back and

all your stuff is missing?

Why are you

treating me like this?

When were you gonna tell me?

About the book deal?

Were you just gonna wait

until you were already gone

to tell me about it?

I made a mistake.

Do you know what it feels like

to find out about something

like that from somebody else?

I mean, how could you?

How dare you not...

tell me first?

It involves me.

How do you think that you

going away for a whole year

doesn't involve me directly

enough to ask me about it?

Right, no,

that makes total sense.

I didn't wanna tell anyone else.

Lisa and Roger asked me

what my next project...

It doesn't matter.

It's about the fact that you

wouldn't even discuss it with me.

I was gonna discuss it with you.

You were gonna... You know what?

It's too f***ing late!

- Yeah, because they asked me...

- It's too late!

You know when you should've

discussed it with me?

Before you told

other people about it.

Well, they asked me what my next

piece of work was gonna be.

What am I gonna say,

"I got nothin' I'm working on."

And you know what,

this really sucks

'cause I was gonna

surprise you with it

because you're gonna be

a huge f***ing part of it.

A huge part of it.

Remember Scott, in his last days,

how he wrote letters to his wife.

We were gonna do that.

Scott died in Antarctica.

I don't even factor...

- into your...

- Oh, babe.

Stop. Stop it!

Honey, just stop.

Stop. God! Peter!

You don't even see me!

Yeah, I just don't know

how this is gonna work.

Really?

Really, that's how you feel?
