I had to leave. I didn't want to disturb.

I have to go away today, but I wondered if I didn't, whether you might let me see you a little.

But yesterday that actor asked you who I was, and you just dismissed me out of hand.

What? You expect me to tell the truth about my life to the most indiscreet man in England?

Uh, will you tell her I'll ring her back?

But she said you've said that once before, and it's now been about 24 hours, and the foot that was purple is now sort of blackish in color and...

There's always a pause when the jury goes out to consider their verdict.

Can I just say no to your kind request and leave it at that?

It seems like a perfect situation, apart from that foul temper of yours.

My relatively inexperienced heart would, I fear, not recover...

...if I was once again cast aside, as I would absolutely expect to be.

Everyone in the world knows who you are.

And don't forget I'm also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.
