Sliding Doors Page #3

'cause you weren't sure how she'd take it

And I told you that something

if you remember my words,

something 'ungoverned by you'

would happen...

...to bring the situation to a head

And... something has

It's not funny actually, Russell

No, I'm sorry, old man...

I beg to differ

It is funny.

It's very, very, very funny

And look at you, it's not as though

you're rushing frantically

about the place trying to find her

I went to Anna's. She wasn't there

Oh, you went to Anna's. Boy,

you're a one man SAS crack unit

You want my opinion?

Will I like it?

Well, of course not...

It'll be based on reality

No, no, no. You don't advertise

a new restaurant. It's very uncool

It's word of mouth... People talk

And how do these people who talk know where

you are so that they can talk about you?

Hey, listen, it's your restaurant,

Clive. I just want it to work

Helen

Hello, James. Rather annoying

chatty bloke on the tube

Oh yes, hi

You look all stressed up

with nowhere to go

It's only a job,

you'll get another one

No, it's something else, isn't it?

You know sometimes it helps

to just say whatever it is out loud

Of course it also helps if people

just mind their own business

and leave you alone. I'm sorry

When I left you at the tube earlier,

I went home and found my boyfriend...

...in bed with another woman. Sh*t!

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's... I mean, what an idiot

It's okay, you weren't to know

No, not me, your boyfriend.

He's an idiot

Sorry, it's not my place

It's okay

Well, look, if it makes you feel any better,

you see that bloke over there?

Not only does he own a personalised

matching set of crocodile skin luggage...

...but his favourite TV programme

is'Baywatch'

So you see there's always someone

sadder than you

Do you love him?

No, I could never

love a 'Baywatch' fan

Hey, you did a joke in the midst

of your turbulent emotional state

That's very positive

Listen, you decide you want

company we're over here... Okay?

I'm really sorry, Helen

Two of your most disgustingly

large Grolsches, please...

...and a large Jack Daniels

with ice, and I'll have the same

You're behind. Can we have another?

Fifteen?

Gerry came looking for you

Is it what I think?

Depends

Is what you think that I walked in on him

shagging 'Lydia' in my bed and I walked out?

Pretty much

Then, yes

Oh, hold up... hold up

This morning was sensational

Oh, I can't...

sorry, I can't hear you

I can't hear you

Gerry, can you hear me?

Didn't know it was on

Ready, steady, go!

I'll see you, Clive

Who's that?

My friend

Come on, you... Let's get you home.

You drunken eejit

And again

Come along

Can I give you a lift anywhere?
