: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.
:16:00
I began to wonder what would happen
if she left me.
:16:03
I'd have to find some way
of earning a living, to begin with.
:16:07
I suddenly realized how much
I'd grown to depend on her.
:16:10
All these expensive tastes
I'd acquired while I was at the top.
:16:14
Now, big tennis
had finished with me...
:16:16
...and so, apparently,
had my wife.
:16:18
I can't ever remember
being so scared.
:16:21
I dropped into a pub
and had a couple of drinks.
:16:24
As I sat in the corner,
I thought of all sorts of things.
:16:29
I thought of three different
ways of killing him.
:16:32
I even thought of killing her.
:16:34
That seemed a far more sensible idea.
:16:37
And just as I was working out
how I could do it...
:16:39
...I suddenly saw something
which completely changed my mind.
:16:46
I didn't go to that tournament
after all.
:16:49
When I got back, she was sitting
exactly where you are now.
:16:53
I'd told her I decided to give up tennis
and look after her instead.
:16:58
-Well?.
-Well, as things turned out...
