:20:01
But I must finish these letters first.
:20:03
Here's the address, in case you've forgotten it.
:20:06
How will it be if we meet there
'round about 7:30?
:20:10
Fine.
:20:12
Thanks for a lovely evening.
It was great. I mean that.
:20:16
Thanks for joining me.
:20:18
It was a damn sight better
than the leftovers at The Globe,
:20:21
not that I'm in for more of those.
:20:23
You ought to get married again, Richard.
:20:24
Oh, no. You ought to know I'm no
good at it. How long did we have?
:20:29
- Nine years, was it?
- Ten.
:20:32
Ah, ten years. It was a good job
you got out when you did.
:20:36
I don't know. I suppose I was lucky
the agency worked out for me.
:20:41
You mean, you're lucky
you haven't had to rely on me.
:20:44
- I didn't say that.
- But you meant it.
:20:47
I suppose some people are good
at organisation and others aren't.
:20:51
- That's all l meant.
- And I'm not, I suppose.
:20:54
Rubbish! You know what filthy luck I had.
:20:57
Was it my fault that the roadhouse didn't go?
:20:59
- lt was OK before the motorway.
- I know.
:21:02
Was it my fault the council
tore down the riding stables?
:21:04
I know. I know life can be very unfair.
:21:07
But you never used to be sorry for yourself.
:21:09
Where's the Richard Blaney l married?
:21:12
Richard Blaney, DFC.
Do you remember the citation?
:21:16
For inspiring leadership, skill,
:21:18
and tenacity of purpose. '
:21:21
You divorced him.
That's what happened to him.
:21:23
Tell me, what sort of skill do
you need to deal with shopkeepers
:21:26
- and interfering bureaucrats?
- Shh. Everyone's listening.
:21:28
Let them. I'll bet they've never had
to tear down their own livelihood.
:21:34
lt's alright for you. You just go
and build it up somewhere else.
:21:36
You're like that. You're good at business.
:21:39
I'll bet they're all good at business here.
:21:41
I'll bet you're making a fortune
out of that agency.
:21:43
And why not?
lf you can't make love, sell it.
:21:46
The respectable kind, of course.
The married kind!
:21:51
Now look what you've done.
:21:52
- Oh, sir. Let me help you.
- Leave me alone!
