And I had a pretty good run for my money.
Went round the world three times.

:14:06
-What are you doing now?.
-I sell sports equipment.

:14:08
It's not very lucrative,
but it gives me plenty of spare time.

:14:12
I see you manage to run
a very comfortable little place.

:14:15
My wife has some money of her own.
:14:16
Otherwise, I should hardly feel
like blowing £1000 on your car.

:14:21
Eleven hundred.
:14:22
People with capital don't realize
how lucky they are.

:14:25
I'm almost resigned to
living on what I can earn.

:14:28
You can always marry for money.
:14:29
Yes, I suppose some people
make a business out of that.

:14:32
-I know I did.
-Why do you think she married you?.

:14:35
Well, I was a tennis star.
:14:36
Yes, but you've given up tennis.
She hasn't left you.

:14:40
She nearly did.
:14:41
After we were married,
I played in championships...

:14:44
...and took Margot with me.
:14:45
She didn't like it,
and when we got back...

:14:47
...she tried to make me give up tennis
and play husband instead.

:14:51
In the end, we compromised.
:14:53
I went alone to America
for the grass-court season...

:14:56
...and returned after
the national championships.

:14:58
I soon realized a lot had happened
while I was away.

:15:02
For one thing, she wasn't in love
with me anymore.

:15:05
There were phone calls which would
end abruptly if I happened to walk in.

:15:09
There was an old school friend
who used to visit from time to time.

:15:13
One day, we had a row.
:15:15
I wanted to play in a
covered-court tournament...

:15:17
...and, as usual,
she didn't want me to go.

:15:20
I was in the bedroom. The phone rang.
:15:22
It all sounded pretty urgent.
:15:25
After that, she seemed rather keen
that I play in the tournament.

:15:28
So I packed my kit into
the car and drove off.

:15:31
I parked the car two streets away,
walked back in my tracks.

:15:37
Ten minutes later, she came out
of this house and took a taxi.

:15:40
I took another.
:15:42
Her old school friend
lived in a studio in Chelsea.

:15:45
I could see them through the studio window
as he cooked spaghetti over a gas range.

:15:49
They didn't say much.
They just looked very natural together.

:15:53
You know, it's funny how you
can tell when people are in love.

:15:58
I went for a walk.
