Ten Percent (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

[cell phone buzzing]

[inhales deeply]

David. Hi.

Yeah, good morning.

How are you?

-This is a great time.
-You knew I'd been written out of it

-and you didn't tell me?
-Right.

Right. Yes. No, I've been
meaning to talk to you about that.

-Okay. So, why isn't...
-Yeah. No, absolutely.

Um, of course. Of course.

Why don't you pop in later this morning
and we can talk it through.



Uh, 10:30?

Great. In the meantime...

Um, don't worry about any of this.
It'll all be fine. Okay? Great.

Speak soon. Thanks, bye. Yep.

Hi. Charlotte, please.

Can we just talk?

Would it be simpler in the meantime
if I just slept in one of the spare rooms?

-Because the last thing I want is to...
-[door slams shut]

Right. Good.

[elevator dings]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Yes.

[theme music playing]

"Five Days"?



We're open to other options.

-Sure.
-[Rebecca] Other options?

-[Kristen] Yeah.
-But it's got a good title.

-No, for sure. Kevin?
-Our top selects are

currently "Five Days,"
"Three Days," or "Pink Mist."

"Pink Mist"?

Oh, for God's sake.

Apparently, it's a military term...

-This is a true story.
-[Kirsten] Absolutely.

The whole point of it is that
she has eight days to get out.

-Sure.
-Before the whole place was flattened

by Russian backed military forces.

No, that's so great, Rebecca.
These are just some ideas

we would love it if you thought about.

-Yes, I'm sure you would.
-Absolutely. So exciting.

-Hi.
-Hey, Jonathan!

-Sorry if I'm late.
-[Kirsten] No, not at all.

Remind me never to use
the Central Line again.

Oh. Can't be easy coming in this morning.

-No.
-Yeah. So, anyway.

We were just having some great thoughts
about Rebecca's film idea.

-Oh, right.
-Were we?

Now that you're here, it would be great

if you could tell us
where your head is for Friday?

-Friday?
-Yes. The Richer for Poorer premiere?

-Right. Yes. Yes.
-Where's your head, Jonathan?

Yeah, no, it's... it's all good, I think.

Great. David and Jessica are all set.

Uh, yeah. I'm seeing David
later on this morning actually.

Terrific.

As far as Friday is concerned,
for a British film,

I think it's going to be
a pretty big premiere,

after the roaring success
of the first film.

That's so great.

I am so excited to see it.
I so loved the first movie.

-Yes.
-Jeremy is pretty amped about it, too.

-Is he?
-[Kevin] 100%.

The pay parity thing
is playing well for UWT.

I don't wanna tempt fate,
but this could end up being

a pretty big deal for us all.

-Yep.
-Right?

Yes. It could.

[mumbles]

-Zoe.
-Oh. Hi. David.

-Hi.
-Sorry. I was just...

-Anything interesting?
-Oh, no. This is just my script.

Script?

-I got a part in a film.
-No.

-I know. [laughs]
-Zoe, that's brilliant!

-David. Hi. Shall we?
-Ah! Agents drag me away,

just as the conversation gets interesting.

But seriously, well done. Pleased for you.

Thank you. Thanks.

-For goodness sake.
-[Jonathan] I know.

The point of this was that
we got paid equally

or we wouldn't have done it.

-I asked to risk this in the first place.
-Oh, come on, Jonathan.

No one reads their contract.

-Well...
-What do you think we pay you for?

There was a clause in the contract
that said,

"In the event,
the movie made over 50 million worldwide,

"it would trigger a payment of..."
In this case, £400,000.

Why isn't it in Jessie's contract?

-Well, because...
-I mean, you are her agent as well.

Your market rate was higher
than Jessie's. It still is, actually.

-So?
-There's not much I can do about that.

-You can take that clause out.
-Well, okay. Yes, I could.

But as your agent, if someone
wants to pay you £400,000,

I don't think it's my job to stop them.

-The press are gonna crucify me.
-They won't if they don't know.

I don't care about that. It's Jess.

Of course.

When I first met her,
she was a brilliant actress.

-She brought up our kids, Jonathan.
-I know. She is amazing.

I get all the accolades,
and she has given me her life.

Of course. And again, I'm just saying,

maybe this is something
we don't need to tell Jess...

No. No, no, no. I'm not lying to her.

-Of course not. I'm just saying...
-We don't lie. That is our rule.

I'm not suggesting that you lie to her.

I'm just asking whether or not

we need to tell her
the truth right now, that's all.

When, then?

That's up to you.

Look, you've got this wonderful
week ahead of you.

Both of you.

You've got the show on Thursday,
the premiere

of this fantastic film
you've made together on Friday,

with everything you've put into it.

Why would you throw that all away
if you don't have to?

[intercom beeps]

-[beeps]
-Zoe. Hi.

[Zoe] Sorry to disturb you.

I've got Jessica Oyelowo here.

-What?
-Right. Okay.

-What am I gonna do?
-Does she know you're here?

No. I told her I was at Channel Four.

Right. Okay.

She's meant to be having brunch
with her mother.

It's okay. I will deal with it.
Just wait. Wait here.

Jess, what a wonderful surprise.

I need to talk to you.

Yes, great. Maybe we could go out for a...
Maybe not in there...

[sighs]

-Have you read it?
-Yes, I have.

Oh! [sighs] He'll be devastated.
What are we gonna do?

Yes. Right. Okay.

You're not mad?

Why would I be mad?

[sighs] I really wanted to tell you.
I wanted you to see me for who I am.

-Yeah.
-Not someone's daughter.

I don't care whose daughter you are.
Thank God I didn't know.

If you weren't good, you wouldn't be here.

Right.

But, in the meantime,
seeing as you are standing here...

Yes.

We need to get a press release out about
the production wing and Eight Days.

-Right.
-I've made some notes.

I need a draft by tomorrow.

Okay, cool.

-Don't fuck this up.
-No. I won't.

Okay.

What, stop it. Go away. Please.

I have to get back to work.
I can't stay in here all day. I...

[sighs]

What is it with you, huh?

What is it?
There are other people. Why me?

Oh, my God! Jesus!

-Hi. Excuse me.
-Oh. You...

No. Look,
I'm not suggesting you lie to him.

What, then?

I'm talking about maybe not telling him.

Not telling him? He's been
written out of the last film.

The final part of the trilogy.

It's going to be hard for him,

let him have this week.
You've got the premiere.

-We don't lie to one another.
-I know.

-We tell each other everything.
-I know. It your one rule.

-Exactly. How do you know that?
-What?

That's the rule for all marriages.
At least, I assume.

The other thing is, I mean,
I can't go into details, really.

Things have a habit of working out
in strange ways sometimes.

-What things?
-I can't go into details.

-What are you talking about?
-Speaking as your agent,

you know, maybe this could be
your moment in the spotlight on your own.

At last.

[plastic packet crunches]

[crunching noisily]

[sighs]

Look. I'm sorry, okay. I'm really sorry.

It's not the nepotism I care about.

I've just never had anyone to nepotize me.

No one knew who I was. That was the point.

It's the betrayal.

-The betrayal?
-I mean,

one moment, you're sitting next
to the fruit of David's loins,

you are this close.

The next moment,
you find out it was a joke.

I didn't know what to do,
and in the heat of the moment,

it was just there.

[alarm beeps]

Okay. Got half an hour.
Gonna head downstairs, hit the gym.

Great.

You should try it. Maybe it would help.

-Thank you. What do you mean, "help?"
-Just sayin'.

-Help what?
-Enjoy your chips.

-They're crisps.
-[Kevin] Okay, well. Whatever.

Well, enjoy getting all hot and sweaty.

I will. Thanks. Sure.

-Unbelievable.
-What?

-There's a gym downstairs.
-Well, yeah.

Well, I mean, it's like... What the fuck?

[chuckles]

[Misha chuckles]

-[elevator dings]
-So lovely to see you.

[man] Okay. Cheers.

-Looking for something?
-Me? No, I was...

'Cause if it's David Oyelowo,

I found him trying to climb in
through the window.

Oh, right. That's where he is. Great.

He was polite and everything,
but he ran out of the building.

Yeah, no, no. He is polite, isn't he?

Such a nice guy.

[chuckles awkwardly] So...

I'm still getting used to
how you do things here,

but that's not normal. Right?

Well, it depends on how you define normal,
I mean, actors are pretty wacky people.

[chuckles]

Well, like I said in the meeting,
I am so excited about Friday.

-Yes.
-[Kristen] So excited!

-Yeah. Me too.
-So, if something is bothering you,

if you're unhappy with anything,
you know it's my job to be here.

Of course, yes. Let's face it, you are.

I will say,
Jeremy is still right behind you guys.

That is... That's great.

Uh, what do you mean, "still?"

A great premiere for a great movie
with two Nightingale Hart clients,

that would be a good message
to put out there.

Yep. Great.

Thanks. Okay. See you tomorrow. Bye.

[giggling]

-[Daniel] Hi.
-Hey.

"Where is my agent taking me for dinner
tomorrow?", you're probably thinking.

-Tomorrow.
-The River Cafe.

-Right.
-Just got a cancellation.

That's great.

Best risotto ai frutti in London.

-I'm really sorry, Dan.
-What?

I said I'd meet Marcus to talk
through some ideas.

Oh, right.

I've had some thoughts about it
and he's interested, actually.

-That's great.
-Sorry. Such a lovely idea.

-Feel like I really ought to go do this.
-Yes.

-It could really be good for me.
-Yes. No. It could.

Yeah. Oh! It's for me.

Uh...

[doorbell rings]

Hello?

[door buzzes]

-Um... Have a seat.
-Thanks.

I... I'm sorry about the other night.
It was just...

It was a bit of a shock.

No. Well, I'm sorry, too. Yeah.

I mean, would you like
a cup of tea or something?

-I should have...
-It's fine.

-Okay.
-I wanted to come round.

I wanted to... I wanted to say to you that

-this isn't your fault. Any of it.
-Well. That's...

I'm sorry for ruining your birthday.

Oh, no. That was a couple of days
before anyway.

Right.

But, no, I don't think
I'm gonna forget turning 23 in a hurry.

[both chuckle]

Twenty-three?

[video game beeping]

[chuckles]

You know what?
This might be your best fish pie ever.

-Really? You say that every time.
-Well, it's true every time.

[both chuckle]

How is your mum?

Um, yeah. No, it was good.

They'd run out of Hollandaise sauce.

That's why I went for waffles
instead of eggs Benedict.

-Great.
-Hmm.

Oh! How was your meeting at Channel Four?

It was good. Yeah.
They always have great biscuits.

Chocolate to caramel ratio. Just right.

[chuckles] Great.

[chuckles]

Do you want seconds?

Uh, great.

[softly] Great.

[reggae music playing]

[clears throat]

Oh, fuck! For Christ's sake.

Charlotte, what's the matter?

-Get away from me.
-What?

I keep thinking about how sick I felt.

And you, saying you'd love me
more with swollen ankles, constipation.

Are you okay?

You said you had to go
to the Edinburgh Festival.

I didn't want you to go. Not that year.

It would only be for a few days.
You brought me back this.

I'm sorry, I don't...

-I went to see Misha.
-You went to see her?

-Yes.
-Well, where?

She's a lovely girl, isn't she?

Exactly four months younger than Luke.

-Okay. Um, look. I...
-Get out.

-Please, Charlotte, let me...
-No.

Just go. Please.

Oh. Fine.

-Luke.
-Don't. Just, don't.

-Luke, I'm sorry, okay?
-What for?

-For all of this, sorry.
-That you did it

or that you got found out?

Both. No, sorry, the first one, obviously.

[scoffs]

Just fuck off. Okay?

Nobody wants you here.

[Jonathan] Luke...

[door opens]

[door closes]

Yep.

[Jonathan] Julia?

Yep.

I'd appreciate it
if people didn't know about this.

Absolutely. No, of course.

[groans]

Yeah. Hi, yes.

Um, I booked a table
for two tonight at 8:30,

but I won't be able to come now
because, well, I can't. [chuckles]

Yeah. Thank you. Thanks. Okay. Bye.

Hi.

-Hi. I want to ask you a favor.
-Okay. Of course.

I need someone to look after Mathias
for a few hours.

-Right. Really?
-He likes you.

Okay, but why?

You should take it as a compliment.
He's a good judge of character.

Where are you going? You usually take him.

I'm having lunch with Judi
and as I know to my cost,

they don't have dogs at the Connaught.

-Judi as in "Dench"?
-Yes.

-Uh, right.
-What other Judi is there?

-No. I thought she was still in France.
-That's...

-Is she?
-Are you gonna do this or not?

Yes, I mean, I suppose so,
looks like it, doesn't it?

Thank you.
We can all get on with our lives.

Dog. Blanket.

-[Kevin] How's it going?
-What?

-The press release.
-Oh. Right. Yeah.

-Just working on it now.
-Great. I know Kirsten is eager to see.

Kirsten?

You can email it to me,
I'll forward it. She's excited.

Right. But this is for Rebecca.

-Sure.
-So, she hasn't seen it yet?

No, absolutely. 100%. But, Kirsten
would so love to see it first.

[yawns]

[sighs deeply]

Great. We'll send this off to the lab
and we'll see you for the results.

Yes.

-And well done.
-Beg your pardon?

It's not easy.
But you're in the right place.

Don't be stupid. I'm in a bloody hospital.

-No, I just meant...
-I know what you meant. I'm disagreeing.

Yes.

Right.

[phone ringing]

[notification chimes]

No. No. No!

-Oh, my God.
-She can't do this!

It's a pretty good photograph.

-[Misha] What?
-She has great teeth.

I'm sorry. I am so sorry.
I didn't write that.

-Huh?
-Kevin said Kirsten wanted to look at it.

-Oh, okay. So, you just sent it to her.
-No, I sent it to Kevin!

Right. So I see.

-I didn't know what to do.
-No. Clearly. What a shame.

-You know...
-I thought you were smart.

I didn't think they would do this.

-Rebecca, have you seen...
-Fuck!

-You have.
-Yes, she has.

I'm gonna kill her.

-No.
-Don't try to stop me.

I won't.
But let's just count to ten, first.

-Ten?
-Yes.

-Let's breathe...
-Yes.

-In for four.
-In for four.

-And out for four.
-And out for four.

-And in for four.
-In for four.

-No. Rebecca.
-Yeah.

For fuck's sake!

-Not you.
-No, okay.

Surrounded by fucking idiots!

Ooh, Mathias. What have you got there?

-Are those pants?
-[Daniel] What?

-They are.
-No, they're not.

-Calvin Klein.
-[Julia] Mathias!

-[Ollie] Whose are those?
-No one's.

Mathias! Come here! Mathias.

Mathias, let go.

Mathias. Please. Drop it!

Drop it!

[Mathias barking]

[whining]

[chuckling]

[Simon laughs]

Mm.

-[Simon] So glad you got in touch.
-[Stella] Yes, well.

-I don't particularly care for swans.
-Hmm.

But I must admit,
I'm rather fond of ducks.

You know where you are with a duck.

[both chuckle]

Have I ever told you about
Sebastian Kellerman?

No. I don't think you have.

He was a client of mine.

-In the early '70s.
-Oh.

Probably the most gifted actor
I've ever known.

Sebastian Kellerman.

That's odd. I like to think
I remember the talented ones.

It's one of my gifts, you know. [chuckles]

It's my only gift, really.

He died.

-Probably why you don't remember him.
-Oh. Dreadful.

The day he died, he'd just found out
he'd been cast in this incredible role.

He went out with friends to celebrate.
Just a few drinks.

I mean, of course,
it's never just a few drinks.

And the next morning,
he was found by a jogger,

face-down in there.

Oh, God.

You deserve better than the way
Jonathan treated you.

So, if you were to be my client...

-Stella...
-"If" I am to take you on...

I don't know what to say.

I won't go through
something like that again.

So, you will stop drinking.

You'll go back to AA,
and this time, you'll stay the course.

And in return,

I will do everything I can to give you
the career your talent deserves.

Yes?

Don't let me down, Simon.

Don't let me drown.

Never actually watched The One Show.

No, neither have I.

-I've been on it, though.
-Yeah. Of course, right.

[sighs heavily]

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine. I'm great.

[Jonathan] Yeah. Okay, great.
Let's talk tomorrow. Yeah, exactly.

Sorry, David. Can I just quickly
swap your mic battery for you?

-Yeah.
-Just in case.

-I'm not sure that one's good.
-Okay.

Does he know?

-No.
-Something's going on. I know him.

-Really, Jess, it's nothing.
-Oh, so there is something.

No, no.

Okay, either you tell me what's going on,
or I don't go on that set.

Can we get you on the sofa now?

I don't know. Can we? It's up to you.

[woman] We're live in 20 seconds.
Quiet, please.

[host] Oh, my God. And was everybody okay?

No, no. They were fine
and somehow no one caught food poisoning

and we've never thrown
a dinner party since.

-[host] I bet you haven't.
-We're not chefs.

You both talked about pay parity
in the industry.

-[both] Yes.
-And I mean, I'm guessing

that's important to the both of you.

-Yeah, absolutely.
-Yes, it is.

No, I mean, we've always said

it's not just down to women
to fight for equality in any business.

Sure.

It's important for men
to step up and play their part, too.

Yes, which makes it surprising
in this case, that David didn't.

What?

[cell phone buzzing]

Honestly, it's fine.

[Kirsten] What I'm saying is,
it didn't sound great to me.

You've seen Twitter?

Kirsten, I know what I'm doing, okay?

Jeremy emailed me again today.

-I'm sure he did.
-He's so excited about tomorrow.

I'm sure he is.

Look, David and Jessica
have been my clients for a very long time.

They've got a lot on at the moment,
both personally and professionally.

I can assure you, they will be
at the premiere tomorrow night.

Great.

You're just gonna
have to trust me... Fuck! Fuck off!

Excuse me?

Sorry not you. It's the bloody hangers.
[sighs]

So, how can it not affect Eight Days?

-It won't.
-According to this, it's her project.

But it's not. It's mine.

If she wants to fight dirty,
then she's picked the wrong person.

It is mine, too, I think.

Yeah. No, I mean, of course.
That's what I meant.

Thank you.

So, uh, where did you end up last night?

Last night?

-Yeah.
-Why?

-Oh, nothing.
-Did we have plans?

Well, no. I mean,
I thought maybe because...

You know, you said...
But then, you know...

But then you didn't...

It's really good to speak in sentences.

-Yeah. It doesn't matter. Anyway...
-I was with an old friend.

-Ah, an old friend?
-Yes.

-Brigitte. Yes.
-Brigitte?

-She was in London for a few nights.
-Right. And she's, uh... She's...

-She what?
-I mean...

"Is she the kind of friend you might
sometimes have sex with, perhaps?"

[chuckles nervously]

-No, sorry. I didn't mean...
-No.

-That's not what I meant.
-No. But as it happens, um...

Yes, she is.

Right.

Hmm.

This is a problem for you?

For me? No. God, no.

Why would it be?
Is that a problem for you?

-For me?
-Yeah.

Because we haven't had
this conversation yet, so I don't know.

Maybe we should.

Huh.

Yeah. Actually, I'm just gonna nip out
and get some wine, actually.

We have wine.

Oh...

Hmm.

Nope, we don't.

[country song playing]

-Hey.
-Hey.

-How did it go with Marcus?
-Yeah, it was good. Yeah.

Good. Great.

[Zoe] I'm sorry.
I know I said I'd text you.

-No. Well...
-It was amazing.

-Great.
-We just talked about character all night.

He's gonna rewrite the part
to fit my voice.

-This amazing woman with my voice, Dan.
-No, that's really great.

-Yes. Also...
-What?

-Guess.
-Uh... No, I don't know.

I've got a ticket
to the Richer For Poorer after-party.

All right.

-Marcus got me an invitation.
-Yes.

-Which is really good of him.
-Yes. That's great.

'Cause I was thinking
I might show up, too.

-You?
-Yeah. Free bar, what's not to like?

Right. Okay.

-What?
-I don't know. I was thinking

it might be good to try this on my own,
instead of always being a guest,

or the receptionist...

-You'd be Marcus' guest.
-That's different.

You just don't wanna go with me?

-No, Dan, please don't be like this.
-No, no. It's fine.

That's great. Just be careful. That's all.

Dan, please. What do you mean, careful?

As your agent,
you turn up with your new director,

-you know what people are gonna think.
-What?

-I'm just saying.
-If I turn up with my agent?

-That's different.
-Is it?

Yeah, we're going out with each other.

I can't believe what you're saying.

It's a chance to meet people
who see me for what I am.

-For once.
-Zoe, you go. It's fine.

If you really are speaking as my agent,
I'd have thought you'd be happy.

[phone ringing]

Fuck. [sighs]

Hold on.

[Jonathan] Hi.

Well, the good news is, I think
we got away with it last night.

-I mean, it wasn't great.
-Really? You think?

Today is another day. It's the premiere...

No, we're not going.

-What?
-No, we're not.

Okay, look, I...

I don't feel like spending
the night with my husband.

-Before you make any rash decision...
-It's not a rash decision.

-This isn't David's fault.
-It is. And it's your fault, too.

No. It's entirely my fault.
Which is what I came here to say.

Two men, you both knew about it
and you didn't tell me.

-I didn't know...
-You knew!

-Yeah. Okay.
-And you didn't tell me.

-if you can't understand what...
-I do understand. I feel...

-Oh, shut up!
-[Jonathan] I'm sorry about all of this.

I thought I had
your best interests at heart.

-Oh, please.
-But I got it wrong.

-My best interest?
-Yes.

Tell me you're not about
to say something about

this being my "moment in
the spotlight on my own."

-No. No.
-What?

-That's just...
-"On your own?"

-I wasn't gonna say that.
-What do you mean "on your own"?

Uh...

So, I moved your hair to 4:30.
You're with Nicky.

-The car will pick you up at 6:00.
-Okay.

I reached out to my friend
at Screen International online.

They know that it's a three-shot of you
with David and Jessica on the red carpet.

You standing next to David,
and they know about your left side.

Okay. So, which one of these
would you prefer me in this evening?

-Me?
-If you were a man.

Excuse me?

-You emailed?
-I gave Jeremy's office

-a heads-up about the article and photo.
-Right. So...

-Okay, you look great in anything.
-Now, stop it.

But you want my opinion.
Okay. So, here's what it is.

-If you wanna look...
-Oh, my goodness.

-What is it with this dog?
-I'll deal with it.

-No.
-I'll get rid of it.

-No, leave him!
-Okay.

-Leave him.
-Sure. Okay.

Which one would you prefer me in, huh?

-Okay. Uh...
-Oh, there you are.

Come on.

[whines]

Mathias. Come, come.

Oh, my gosh. It's so weird.
It's like it can't leave me alone.

-He used to be a therapy dog.
-No way.

Yes, he senses pain.

[scoffs]

What?

-This is unbelievable.
-Is it?

-How could you not tell me?
-Really? You wanna go down that road?

How could she write me out of it?

-I don't know. It's not my fault.
-For goodness' sake.

She did go through that divorce.

-Maybe she felt like...
-Great. I'm sorry for her.

When Jess came to see you,
you knew I'd been written out

-and you didn't tell me?
-Well...

-How'd you know that?
-What?

How'd you know I went to see Jonathan?

You told him?

-No.
-I knew because I was there.

-What?
-I was there.

I was on the roof outside the window.

You were outside the window?

-Yes.
-Yes, he was. Yes.

You told me you were at Chanel Four
eating biscuits.

You were supposed to be with your mother.

Is there anything you've been honest
with me about ever?

-Okay, okay. Before this goes further...
-Huh! Further?

If you're angry with me and don't want
to come to the premiere, fine.

Fine, I get it.

But just so you know,
I have been talking to Barry Jenkins.

-Barry Jenkins?
-I've got a meeting with him next week.

-You're joking.
-He's doing this biopic about...

Robert Abbott. Yes.

Guy that founded
the first Black newspaper...

In Chicago. I know.

Jess, I've been talking to Jemima

and she agrees,
if you're gonna carry this last film,

your fee is gonna have to reflect that.
I've gotten it up to half a million.

-Right.
-Yeah, I mean, we can do better.

Now, whether or not this is your moment
in the spotlight, that's up to you.

Um, look, you had
one rule in your marriage.

And I was responsible for you breaking it.

Uh, I mean,
if you don't have trust, what do you have?

Believe me, I know that.

I'll see myself out.

So, you know your mum came to see me?

-Yeah. I know.
-Is she okay?

[huffs]

I just feel terrible all the time.

-I'm glad that happened.
-Glad?

What did he think was gonna happen?

Eventually, I mean, he deserves this.

Now everybody can see him
for what he really is.

Well, the thing is,
I don't know him, so...

Yeah. Well, I do. Don't bother.

When I found out who you were,
I couldn't tell you, it was a nightmare.

Yeah, it wasn't great for me.

I know, but the thing is,

'cause now I quite like you.
I don't mean...

I mean... I don't know
that many people down here

and, well, I don't have that many friends,
so, actually, it's been quite nice.

Yeah.

I mean, do you think
we could ever be friends?

-Friends?
-Or we have to do brother and sister

'cause I've never had
any brothers and sisters.

No, no. No, me neither. Uh...

Anyway...

Okay, one condition.

-What?
-The picture I sent you...

-Already deleted.
-Okay, good. Good.

We've got a deal at the moment,

where you get three months
free membership if you pay for a year.

Great.

Depends on how often you looking to come.

But if you're gonna be coming regularly,
it's actually a really great deal.

-And the swimming pool, obviously.
-Yes, obviously.

You can join as a swimming-member only,

if you like, which is cheaper, obviously.

Or you can just have the gym membership.

With full membership,
you get a better deal on both.

It's a lot better value...

Yeah?

Yeah.

-[Rebecca] Hi.
-Hi.

-So, Friday.
-Yes.

What are you doing tonight?

Me? I'm gonna be 40 and alone.

-No, you're not.
-No, I am. I'm 39.

No, I'm meeting up Margaux
and you'll come with me.

You look like a movie star.

-Oh, shut up.
-You are a movie star.

-Stop it.
-[laughs]

Oh, I can't actually believe it.

-What?
-I'm not gonna be there

just serving the drinks
or hanging up coats.

-Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.
-No, no.

-I don't mean it like that.
-Don't worry.

I'm just excited to be there.

I can always go through
a famous actor's pockets.

I used to do that, too.

[both laugh]

[people cheering, clapping]

[camera shutter clicking]

-So exciting.
-So exciting.

Yes.

All we need now is our stars.

Yep.

Okay, look, Kirsten, there's something
I think I should probably tell you.

Sure.

Okay, so, with David and Jessica,
well, um, the thing is...

[people cheering]

The thing is they're here.

Okay, good. Shall we?

Sweet.

[camera shutter clicking]

That's it.

-Okay, great.
-Ah!

Thank you. Good luck, guys.

Just come close together, please.

How about a little kiss?
Just a little kiss?

When you're ready.

[camera shutter clicking]

[upbeat song playing]

[inaudible]

I said, "Put them together on camera."

-Right?
-She did.

He's so talented.

[speaks indistinctly]

That was it. You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?

-Yeah. Wait here.
-Okay.

Hmm. Weak signal.

So, Dan, tell me.
Are you single? Attached?

-Wow, what is this, an inquisition?
-What? No. I'm French.

I am a journalist.

No, I'm single. I mean, as it happens,

I'm seeing someone. She's gonna dump me.

-Why do you say that?
-Because they usually do.

-Okay.
-Yes.

Yeah. So, I was actually thinking
I might stay at Dan's tonight.

Oh. Okay.

-What?
-Just for a change.

-If that's okay with you?
-If that's what you want. Sure.

-Yeah. What about me?
-You'll be all right.

-What?
-Yes, I imagine you will.

[Rebecca] It's hard to believe,

but he's quite an animal
once you get past the awkwardness.

-Okay.
-Oh, really? What kind of animal?

Uh...

Okay. So, I'm... I'm just gonna go.

Dan.

-Really nice to meet you.
-Yes. You, too.

-Bye, Rebecca.
-Dan...

You know, you could just say.

-Say what?
-If you would prefer us to be exclusive,

you could say that.

-[scoffs]
-But I know. It must be difficult

when what you have with Dan
is so powerful.

[both chuckling]

[cell phone chimes]

Thank you so much.

Congratulations.

-Thank you.
-Wonderful. A triumph.

-[Jessica] Yes. Thank you.
-There's a large group of people

through there desperate to tell you both
how talented you are.

[both] Yes.

And can I just say, all in all,
after everything, I mean, well done.

Um... So... Hold on.

I think there's something
we probably need to tell you.

-Okay?
-We don't need to do this now.

-Do what?
-We're not gonna pretend all evening.

I can't, anyway.
It's not fair on Jonathan.

What is it? What's this about?

So, the thing is, we've talked.

Both of us, after you left.

-Yes.
-We talked about everything.

-Right.
-Um... Gosh, this is really hard.

So, what is it?

We realized what really matters.

This could have cost us our marriage.

-[David] Yeah.
-You said it,

-if we don't have trust, what do we have?
-Yes.

-No. Don't do this.
-We feel after everything...

The best thing for all of us,
really, would be a clean break.

Yes.

-We should go in.
-Yep.

I'm really sorry.
We should have lunch, anyway.

-Yeah, definitely.
-Just so there are no hard feelings.

Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

-[David] Okay.
-Okay.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Thought I'd show up anyway. Going in?

-Yeah, yeah. So, I'll see you in there.
-Yeah, cool.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[man] Thank you.

[people chattering]

Hey.

-Hi.
-Here you go.

-Hi. Thanks.
-Oh, I think you got a...

What? Shit. Have I?

-I think that's a bit of salmon.
-Where?

-Do you want me to...
-Yep.

[inaudible conversation]

Great. I've been talking to Michaela Coel

-with fish on my face.
-Could be worse.

At least it wasn't egg.

-Is Michaela still here?
-I don't know.

I was gonna have a word with her.

-Okay.
-I'll see you in a minute.

-Hey.
-What are you doing here?

I just thought I'd say hi.
They don't need me anymore.

-Um... Are you okay?
-Yeah. I'm fine.

No, no, I'm... I'm... I'm great.

I mean, I don't suppose...
Do you wanna grab something to eat?

-Something to eat?
-I mean, I'm starving.

Yes, so am I.

Oh, my God. I cannot remember
the last time I had a kebab.

You really need to get out more.

Yes, I know that.

I was thinking about what you were saying

a while ago about making things
simpler for us both.

If you want me to leave...

-To leave?
-If I hadn't shown up,

then none of this would've happened
and everything would be okay.

-No, it wouldn't.
-I just wanted to say that because

I am really sorry.

I think it's probably time
you stop saying that

and maybe let me say it instead.

Right, okay.

Well, this is me.

-Right.
-Thanks for dinner.

Anytime.

You can't leave now anyway.

What the hell would Rebecca do?
I think she'd really miss you.

[chuckles]

Okay.
