1:02:05
No, don't phone me at all... ever!
1:02:11
It's over!
1:02:14
Again!
1:02:17
I've done it, Russell.
I've bloody done it.
1:02:21
Excellent. Congratulations.
Done what?
1:02:23
- I've finished it.
- Oh, the book?
1:02:25
Oh, well, great, mate.
That's great.
1:02:27
Not the book, Russell.
I'm a novelist.
1:02:30
I'm never going to finish the book.
The affair.
1:02:33
The sordid affair with Lydia.
I've blown her out... in Dorset.
1:02:37
I was decisive, but fair.
I've just got back.
1:02:40
Oh, God,
I feel like I've got out of jail...
1:02:44
No more deceit,
no more lying to Helen.
1:02:46
It was such a mistake.
Never go back, Russell. It's over.
1:02:51
God, I can't tell you,
it's such a good feeling.
1:02:55
Well, I'm... I'm very pleased.
How does she feel about it? Lydia?
1:02:59
You know,
she's not jumping through hoops,
1:03:01
but it's the best thing by far.
1:03:04
By far and away, the best thing.
I mean, she knows that.
1:03:07
I mean, she will do...
Well, she was upset.
1:03:10
I mean, a bit fraught,
you know, ob-obviously.
1:03:14
Oh, God, I feel good.
1:03:16
I've got to get home
before Helen comes back from work.
1:03:24
You never even buy me flowers when
you're meant to! So yes, I'm suspicious.
1:03:29
What else have you been doing
that you're not meant to?
1:03:33
Wait. Let me get this straight,
because this is brilliant.
1:03:36
I buy you flowers on a whim,
1:03:39
in a... in a fit of... of... of, um...
of romance, but...
1:03:44
See? You couldn't even
think of the word.
1:03:46
But instead of being...
of being grateful,
1:03:49
instead of being romanced,
1:03:51
you're instantly convinced that I'm
ensconced in some decrepit, tacky,
1:03:54
underhand clandestine affair?
1:03:57
In a nutshell.
