-[woman] Morning.

-[in English] Morning.
-Did you sleep well?

Yeah.

Are, are we far from
Oxford Street here?

-What?
-Are we far from
Oxford Street here?

You don't remember the two
buses we had to take last night?

-Hmm.
-You don't remember. [laughs]

[man yawns, groans]

[thumping from above]

-Hi.
-[man] Morning.

Good morning.



-What's up there?
-There? My bed.

[woman] Mike, what are
you doing?

Sorry.

-[whispering] You ever been
parachuting?
-[Axl] Never.

The, uh... secret of
parachuting is bending your legs
as you hit the ground.

Help you absorb the shock.

-You go... [thumps gently]
-[stifles laugh]

-[Axl] Do you parachute?
-Yeah. Well... Well, no, I was
going to,

but I had a bit of a
problem with the plane,
so I couldn't jump.

What the fuck?

-Frankie's head.
-How many people live here?

No idea.
Changes all the time.

[Mike playing drums]

If your dad's in London,
we'll find him for sure.

-Anthony Hemmings, right?
-How did you know his name?

You told me last night.
We were Googling his name.

-You don't remember that?
-Yeah.

-Yeah, of course.
-No, you don't.

-Do you remember
how we go there?
-Hmm, on a bus?

Wrong.

Do you remember... getting
your willy out in the middle
of the street?

No.

-What?!
-No, I'm just messing
with you.

Actually, you and Hannah
passed out.

I stayed up checking out
your dad's name online.

-Hannah, you want
some breakfast?
-I can't, I'm really late.

-Mmm.
-Bye.

There's one, two, three
Anthony Hemmings...

That one's in London.
That could be your dad.

-Sorry?
-Do you know where he lives?

I forgot your name.

-Mike.
-Yeah, Mike.

Can I go to the toilet?

[chuckles] Yeah.

It's just over there.

[mellow music playing]

[woman singing]

-[Axl] Hi.
-How are you?

-Fine.
-Good.

-I like this music.
-They're great.

Yeah, it's, like, wild.

You want a drink? Yep?

[song continues, slower]

But actually I'm a bit
English

because my father
is English.

But...

I lost him when I was little.

He left my house
when I was three.
Never came back.

Really? So, so you didn't
lose him, you got lost.

-What?
-You didn't lose him,

you got lost, basically.

What a fucking bastard.

Are you all right, Axl?

-I'm okay, I'm okay.
-Yeah?

Helmet.

You're worrying me now.

No. Let's go.

[playful music]

Why are there so many books
on the wrong shelves today?

It's like... someone took
a whole lot of books and...

put them back in random places.

I think it's okay if there is
a book on the wrong shelf
here and there.

Pardon me?

It gives people the chance
to find something totally random
and unexpected.

Not if they're looking
for a specific book

and they can't find it
because it's in the wrong place.

Lucy... Um, would you, would you
give me a hand over here?

-Sorry.
-Yup.

[ringing stops]

[man lights cigarette]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Okay, you're gonna think
this is very stupid.

I saw you inside before...

And I kept trying to imagine
things about your life.

Don't you do that sometimes?

Like... when you're sitting
in a tube or on a bus,

just watching people and...

Trying to imagine what they do
and... where they come from?

[jet passing overhead]

I'm a stewardess.

-I go to South America
every week.
-Really?

Rio de Janeiro,
Buenos Aires...

Now that explains everything.

Because I'd thought
I'd seen you before.

I work at the airport.

I'm the x-ray machine guy.
I frisk anyone that bleeps.

Really? Wow.

I don't remember seeing you.

I remember you.

Would you like a drink?

X-ray man style.

-Not bad.
-[laughs]

Stewardess style.

[both laughing]

[gentle music]

No smile.

-[snorts]
-Don't!

I don't want to
go home tonight.

[man singing indistinctly]

Yeah.

Same.

[woman] Good evening, sir.
Is that a room for one?

-Uh, no, for two.
-I see. Would you like to
sign that for me?

-Hello, can I help you?
-I'm okay.

I can wait for him to finish.

[Anthony] And as far as
Hartsford's concerned, um...

she says this time she's
genuine, but frankly...

[continues indistinctly]

-[Axl] Hi.
-Good morning, son.

What can I do for you?

I... I was looking
for a flat around here and...

-I saw one in the win--
-Right. If I could ask you
to put your name

and address on the top
of this piece of paper.

Don't worry
about the rest of it,
we'll fill that out later.

-[keyboard clacking]
-And, uh...

Just forgive me while I
finish this off.

Thanks very much.

So, Mike, you a student?

Yeah. I'm a business student.

-Uh-huh.
-That's what I'm studying.

Right. Well, we will need
to see some kind of proof
that you can pay the rent.

-What sort of proof?
-Well, how are you planning
on paying the rent?

My father.
He pays for everything.

Right. Well, we'll need
a letter from your father,

your bank statements,
and some kind of letter
from the college...

-No problem.
-...stating what course you're
on here, the usual thing.

My father wouldn't mind.

-He won't mind?
-No.

-Good. Is he in London?
-No.

[door creaks]

-Hey.
-Morning.

-What's going on?
-[Vera grunts]

-Give you a hand?
-Yeah.

Wha... Where, where are you,
where would you like to go?

Isn't there someplace
in the basement or something?

There-- oops
All right, now there.

[doors creaking]

-[grunting]
-[clattering]

Okay.

[panting]

Well.
This place is full of things.

Is that nice?

-Um...
-Okay.

Like this?

-Oh, nice.
-Nice or ugly?

Nice in an ugly way.
Ugly in a nice way.

-Ugly in a nice way,
I would say.
-Yeah.

What about this? This is not--
This is more for me
than for you, I think...

More for you
than for me, I think.

Hey, is that the old
record player

that used to be
in the living room?

Think so. Must be broken.

-You know, I don't think
it was, like, broken.
-No?

[blows]
I'd rather see it
as if the record player

was actually choosing
what's the right song
for you to play.

-You know what I mean?
-Uh... yeah?

Right, some go wrong, some...

-Hmm?
-[clicks]

-[record plays briefly, stops]
-[man laughs]

That one didn't work.

So what are you meant to do,

like, keep trying and trying
records until one works?

Yeah.

[clicks]

-[record scratches, stops]
-[man] Hmm...

It just refuses to play it.

The table gonna be there.

-Yeah.
-And the bed has to be there.

[frame scraping
and clattering]

[winded] Okay...

Good?
Now I'm gonna go
back to sleep again.

-[laughs] Okay, good enough.
-Ciao.

[door opens and closes]

[Vera's voice] What are you
thinking about?

[wind whistling faintly]

[continues in French]

-[clicks]
-[music playing,
skipping slightly]

[woman singing in Italian]

[crying quietly]

[Axl] What time is it?

What is it with you
and the time?

It's the third time
you asked me.

It's...

It's 12:15.

Thanks.

Hey, what happened
with your dad?

Did you go back to his place?

There is never anyone there.

-Well...
-Maybe he's on holidays.

Have you spoken
to the neighbors?

No.

Well, maybe you should.

They'll probably know
where he is.

You paint like a French painter.

-Do you not like?
-I love it.

-[Axl laughs] Really?
-Yeah.

Thanks.
Do you know that jacket
that is in the kitchen?

Which one?
What, that stripey one?

-Yeah.
-Yeah, what about it?

-Is it yours?
-No.

Do you think
it's a suit jacket?

What do you mean?

I mean, do you think
it's the kind of jacket that
a businessman would wear?

No, it's a school uniform.

-Really?
-It's a cool Polaroid, though.

-I think so.
-Yeah, it's a school uniform.

-That's a good image
for a poster.
-Let me see.

I'll tell you what:
I'm gonna keep this Polaroid,
you keep the jacket;

if anyone claims it,
give it back to them.

Okay.

-I look older.
-Okay, it's a school uniform.

Look, that's some school's logo.

[engine humming]

-Do you mind if I smoke?
-No.

-Do you want one?
-Yeah.

Thanks.

And that's the nearest
tube station.

It's about 15 minutes' walk
from the flat.

So, Anthony--
can I call you Anthony?

-Yeah, sure.
-Have you worked in this
business for a long time?

-About six years.
-And before that,
what did you do?

Oh, um... different things.

-Why do you ask?
-I'm just curious.

Have you always lived in London?

No, no, no, I was, I was
abroad for a few years.

-Whereabout?
-Oh, you know,
different places.

Uh, Denmark, Portugal,

Spain, Thailand.

Thailand was nice.

Spain.

-I like Spain.
-Yeah, me too.

Have you...
meet with many girls?

[chuckles] I was with a
girlfriend when I was young,

-I was with someone at the time.
-Spanish girlfriend?

Yeah.

-[door closes]
-[Anthony] Right, one bed,
studio apartment.

We've got two or three
in this block and...
they're very popular.

There's actually no one
in the flat at the moment,
it's empty,

but, um, it's fully furnished,
ready for you to move in
whenever you want.

How old are you, Anthony?

-Forty-three.
-Really?

I thought you were older.

And you get the sun here
right through the afternoons.

-It's nice and bright.
-Are you married?

Hmm? Uh, yes.

Got any kids?

[chuckles]

-You ask a lot of questions.
-I'm sorry.

Two, actually.
Two daughters.

One's three and the other one's
six years old.

So, what do you reckon?

-About what?
-The flat.

Oh...

-I don't like it.
-No?

It's too white for me.

-Too white?
-Yeah.

Sorry.

[scanner beeps]

Are you sure about this book?

Um...

-Yup.
-Unlock the Heart:

The Key to a World of...

Everlasting Bliss.

-Bliss, yeah.
-Yeah, it's...

I don't think I'd buy something
with that title, it's...

I shouldn't be saying this.

Actually, um...
Do you know what?

I'm gonna leave it

and just have a think about it.

I mean, it, it's not for me
anyway, it's, um, just...

-Okay.
-Yup, bye, cheers.

-Have a nice day.
-Yeah, bye.

-[clicks]
-It's broken.

Keeps printing the wrong price.

[rattles, clicks]

-Hi!
-Hi!

[chuckles] Hi.

[chuckles] Wow.

Wow.

Cool.

-Nice to see you.
-Nice to see you.

[chuckles]

[Vera] I'm sorry
I left like that without saying
goodbye or...

actually anything.

Was a bit rude.

You had to catch a plane.

-Yeah, right!
-[chuckles]

When I woke up,
you were gone.

I thought it was all a dream...

'cause I realized we never,

we never actually said
something about each other's
lives for real.

-I didn't even find out
your name.
-That's funny.

I've been thinking
about that too.

I quite liked it.

I still don't know your name.

[both laughing]

Oh... Gross!

I don't know.

I'm sorry,
this isn't good practice.

-Forget it, all right?
-[laughs]

I just have... I'm just
having this strange feeling

like I'm a teenager again.

[indistinct chatter]

It's a good feeling, though...

This teenage feeling.

[music and chatter stop]

[clattering in distance]

[kissing and panting]

[panting]

[scooter passes
in distance]

Hi.

-You didn't disappear.
-[chuckles]

-Can still run away.
-Don't.

[kisses]

-[snaps fingers]
-Wow.

X-ray man style.

I wonder how long we can
stay like this.

Like, without knowing
each other's name?

[laughs]
Without knowing anything.

Let's find out.

[X-ray man] When am I gonna
see you again?

[Vera] You have to say when,
and I say where.

[X-ray man] Saturday morning.

-[Vera] Okay.
-[camera clicks and whirs]

[X-ray man] So you say where.

[Vera] Um... the Broadway
market.

[X-ray man] All right,
but the market is crowded,

so you have to say
somewhere specific.

Well... the morning is long.

[traffic passing]

[Mike] Why would you want to
pay rent?

Nobody pays rent.
It's a squat.

[Axl] Yeah, I know, but, but...

What do you think
of this one?

-I don't like. No.
-You don't like?

That one? They're all
pretty dirty.

What do you think of this one?
I think it's the best one.

Yeah, me too.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Yeah, it's the bigger one.

Yeah, so, I don't know,

maybe I could help you
in the bar or something.

What, you need to find a job?

No, but it could be
like an exchange.

I don't pay any rent here and I
can help you out at work.

-[Mike] Go, go, go, go!
-[grunting]

-[Mike] Go. Come on!
-[Axl chuckles]

I'm not very good,
let's swap.

-What... why?
-Let's swap.

What, you think that side's
harder to carry?

-Yeah, I think it's... oh.
-All right.

But you know what?
You forgot to bless
the mattress.

Right, you gotta go...
[kisses] I bless you, mattress.

[kisses] Please give me
good sex.

[kisses] Please give me
good sleep. [kisses]

-Just make sure you do that,
all right?
-[laughs]

-You'll be sleeping
and fucking...
-Ah! [laughs]

-You hurt your finger.
-I'm all right.

Come on, pick it up.
You should fucking start
carrying the thing...

-[laughing]
-...'cause I'm carrying
all of it.

-[panting]
-[thumps]

This is a good spot
for you, actually.

[Vera] Have you been

No.

Just arrived.

[Vera] Me too.

Actually, I've been here
for hours.

[chuckles]

What do you feel
like doing now?

Maybe something, like,
something I've never done
before.

-11:14, that's the next train.
-That one?

-All right, let's see
where this one takes us.
-[Vera laughs]

[bell ringing]

[X-ray man]
Do you have any secrets?

[Vera] Yeah, of course. Why?

[X-ray man] Um, have you ever
told anyone about them?

[Vera] Mm, no, they're...

They're secret.

[both chuckle]

-[birds squawking]
-[waves lapping]

[X-ray man]
Why don't you tell me
one of your secrets,

and I'll tell you one of mine.

-'Cause if they're so,
so secret...
-[chuckles]

...then it's almost like...

as if they're not part
of our lives.

-[Vera] Mm.
-All right?

[Vera] I used to have
an imaginary boyfriend.

[X-ray man laughs] Uh-huh?

[Vera] I told all my friends
that I had this boyfriend
called, uh, Malik.

And every Monday at school
I would say

I spent all weekend
with, you know, my boyfriend
Malik.

[both laugh]

[Vera] I don't even know where
I took that name from.

-He was very good-looking.
-Yeah?

[Vera chuckles] Of course.

I even dreamt of him
a few times.

[both laugh]

[Vera] He just felt so real.

[X-ray man]
So what happened to Malik?

[Vera] At some point
I said to everyone
that he moved away.

-[X-ray man] Mm-hmm.
-And that was it.

After that, he was gone.

[X-ray man]
I used to do magic tricks
when I was eight or nine,

and one day I made my best
friend believe that I could

make myself disappear.

[Vera laughs]

[X-ray man]
You know, I was just hiding

in a, in a secret corner
of my closet.

-[Vera] Well done.
-But his problem was,
of course,

that he didn't know
how to make me appear again.

So he, after a while
he completely panicked,

and he didn't dare to tell
my mom.

And he was just crying
and praying to God...

-Oh, my gosh.
-...to bring me back.

[X-ray man]
And then eventually he...

I think he fell asleep
or something,

so I came out of the closet
and laid down on the bed
next to him.

And in the middle of the night,
he woke up,

and he was so happy
to see me, and he hugged me,

and I told him that he made me
come back in his dreams.

[chuckles]

[X-ray man]
When will I see you again?

Hi.

How did, how did we get here?

We met at the Russian bar.

You're not Russian, are you?

-No.
-Morning, guys.

-Hi.
-Good afternoon.

-Hey.
-[woman] Morning. Hi.

Anyone up for some breakfast?

[guitar player] No food.

No one's gonna cook
for you, sorry.

What about our Russian boy?

[guitar player] You up
for something?

-I'm not Russian.
-Where you from, Russian?
[laughs]

[woman] I'm making coffees
for everybody, okay?

-[man laughs]
-Yeah, coffee. Coffee, coffee.

How many?

I have four...

[Axl] Can I use your phone?

[guitar player mumbles]

-Here you go.
-Hi.

Yeah, we have an appointment.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be there
in 15 minutes.

-All right, see you, see you.
-[card reader beeps]

Right, this is the bathroom
through here.

-Where you from, originally?
-[music playing on radio]

-Are you Spanish?
-No.

Well, you, you sounded
Spanish.

Yeah, I'm Portuguese.
You know, it's close.

-We sound similar.
-Hmm. Right.

How come your name's Mike
if you're Portuguese?

Mike is for Miguel.

Well, I... I did tell you
I couldn't pick her up.

I'm with a client now.
Hold on. Hold on just a second.

Mike, do you mind if we, um,
just stop off around the corner
just for a second?

-I don't mind.
-Yeah, that's fine.

[children chattering]

-[car door opens]
-[Antony] Munchkin, jump up
onto your seat.

See if you can get
your seat belt on.
I'll be back in a second.

Okay.

[seat belt clicks]

Hi. What's your name?

Alice.

Do you like swimming, Alice?

-How old are you?
-Six.

Do you... remember stuff
from when you were little?

-Like when you were four?
-[window whirs]

[shouts] Dad!

[video game beeping]

I'll let you know when any
new flats become available.

Yeah. But I don't think
you have the kind of thing
I'm looking for.

Right.
Well... Well, what exactly
is it you are looking for?

I don't know.

What's the matter with you?
You still sick?

I don't know.

Sorry.

What?

I met him.

Anthony, my father.

I'm sorry I didn't
tell you before.

He works at the estate agency.

I pretended...

I was looking for a flat.

So he doesn't know
you're his son?

You want to know a secret?

You remember that time
I told you that I couldn't
parachute

because there was a problem
on the plane?

I was the problem.

I was so scared,
I puked all over myself.

I guess what I'm saying is...

Maybe you shouldn't jump until
you feel like you're ready
to jump.

You know?

Maybe you don't even
want to jump,

meet your dad and stuff.

I don't...

Sorry, man.

Why do you ask me that?

I don't know.

Do you like my suit?

You don't look like
a businessman.

I never wear suits.

I hate men's suits.

Then... Then why?

Why are you wearing that
if you hate it?

Because of my father.

Hmm. Hmm.

Your father's a businessman...

-or something.
-Kind of.

Exactly, something.

[both chuckle]

This jacket...

looks more like, um...

a school uniform than like
a businessman's jacket.

-Really?
-Yeah.

It's not mine.

[chuckles] I know.

Actually, someone gave it to me.

I left it in the kitchen.

No.

[both laugh]

-No.
-[imitates Axl] Yeah.

[both laugh]

Yup.

[chuckles]

Who was that?

[chuckles]

I don't know.

I have no name, no number,

no address, no nothing.

It was the, the point.

Yeah, it was the point
between us.

Did you...
fall in love with him?

Who made up the rules?

Me, I guess. Hmm.

Sounds like you picked
the wrong ones.

-[chuckling]
-[woman singing indistinctly]

Deep inside,
I really wanted him
to be a heroin addict

or someone so fucked up.

And I'd be like, "Yeah.

I get it, I get it.

I understand why you don't
want me to see you.

Why you don't want me to be
part of your life."

But when I see this guy, he's...

he was like...
like completely normal,

functional, boring human being.

And I'm like...

-"Why? Why?"
-Yeah.

I'm like... "Fuck you."

-Right.
-You know what I mean?

Yeah, yes. Yeah, but...

Do you want to be
part of his life?

I thought I did,
but now I'm not so sure.

You all right?

I just came here

I'm...

I'm...

I'm... I'm not looking
for a flat anymore.

I'm staying at my friends'
place and...

I don't have to pay
any rent there.

Lucky you.

I guess that's it then.

Thanks for letting us know.

Sure.

-Did I, um... Did I give you
my card?
-I have it.

-In case you need anything.
-I got it. Yes, I got it.

It's okay.

Okay, then.

You gave me a cigarette
the other day and... I forgot
to return the lighter.

[chuckles] Um...

I thought I'd left it
somewhere else. Thanks.

Actually, you-- you know what?

You can keep this one...

if you want.

Take care.

something?

Uh, yeah.

Would you mind if I quit?

What?

Um, I was thinking maybe

I should look for, like,

another kind of job.

-Really?
-Would you mind?

Um...

-No.
-Okay.

Actually, I mean,
you've probably got
a good point...

I've ever encountered.

[Kevin]
No, I didn't mean it like that.

I mean... Sorry, I didn't...

Well, I did, but, I mean,
it's true.
