Can I stay a bit longer?

I'll get the jam. You get the door.

What is it? You're up to something.

How do you think I'm doing?

Your furry friend thought he'd make a buck or two telling the papers where I was.

And then you go out in your goddamn underwear.

I mean, for God's sake, I've got a boyfriend.

As far as they're concerned, I do. Yes!

Everywhere you go, people will say, "Oh, well done you! You slept with that actress. We saw the pictures."

That's spectacularly unfair. Can't we just laugh about all this?

You know, all I'm asking for is a normal amount of perspective.

It's just that I've dealt with this garbage for ten years. You've had it for ten minutes.

Every time anyone writes anything about me, they'll dig up these photos.

You're probably right. Yeah, you'd better go.

I may have told a few people down the pub.
