-Do you want some water? -We can go and buy some food.

We can't come away, because...

if the doctor comes out and we're not here, that's not good, is it?

I can go buy some food if you want.

-Yeah, right. -Nice to meet you, Theo.

When did you get this wound?

Just a couple weeks ago and then I fell yesterday,

and it split open again and started bleeding.

This is very infected.

I don't want to reach this infection to your tissues.

-Okay. -I'll clean it.

I'll also prescribe you antibiotics.

You will start it right away.

-Three times a day for ten days. -Yeah.

-Hey! -Oh, hi.

Okay, do you want a lift, or...?

-Yeah, I'll take a lift. -Just this way. Through here.

-Do you want to make a run for it? -Yeah, okay.

Okay.

So, what are you doing in London?

Just hanging out. Working. I live with a friend.

-Where do you work? -Plus Phone Customer Service.

You're kidding! Do you know Stephen Lowery?

Yeah, I don't know him, but... He's like the main boss.

Why? Do you know him?

Yeah, he's an old friend of my ex-husband's. Theo's dad.

-Small world. -Small world.

-What do you do? -I am an architect.

-Right. Housing or more...? -Mainly commercial construction.

Yeah, offices, warehouses, hospitals, that sort of thing.

I'm working on a cool project now. That's residential.

It's called the London Spear. Have you heard of it?

-No. -Like 1,500 student flats.

-1,500? -It's a lot, but it's good fun.

-Yeah. -And it's a great cause.

Like... The housing situation in this city is just so shit.

Yeah! It's crazy.

-Here we are. -Okay.

-Thank you so much for the ride. -Yeah, of course.

What the hell?

-Are you okay there? -Yeah, I don't know...

Let me help you.

-Thank you. -All right, bye.

-All right, take care. Bye! -Bye.

-Hi. -Hi.

-What the fuck, David. -What?

What's going on? How'd the hand go?

It was fine. It just took a fuckload of time.

Where were you last night?

-Not Siri, right? -No!

So where were you? Where were you?

Where were you?

-Where the hell... -Fuck!

-What is it? -Shit!

What is it?

Fuck!

What is it, David?

I left my fucking penicillin in a car.

So fucking annoying.

Whose car, David?

Joanna Alexander speaking.

Hi, Joanna. It's David from the hospital.

Hi, David! How are you doing? -Hi.

Good, thanks. But I think I forgot my meds in your car, maybe?

Yes, you did. I've got them, don't worry.

Okay, good. Can I maybe come pick them up somewhere?

Yeah. Of course, no problem.

I'm at home, so do you wanna pop by here to get them?

Yeah, I can do that. Awesome, thank you.

Yeah, no worries. I'll text you the address, okay?

-Perfect. -I'll see you in a bit.

-Yeah, okay. Bye. -All right, bye.

-Hi. Come on in. -Oh, thanks.

-How are you doing? -Good, and you?

Yeah, yeah. Did you find it okay?

I had trouble finding the exit on the Tube, but I'm here.

Yeah, you're here now. Here you go.

-Oh, thank you so much. -You are very welcome.

-Yeah, thanks. -Oh, give me a sec, hold on.

-For Theo's food. -No, no.

-No, please... -No, it was only like five quid.

-It's... okay. -Okay, well, thank you again.

No, thank you for...

But could I maybe get a glass of water for...

Yeah, sure. Come on in.

You don't have to take your shoes off, it's...

Oh. Sorry, I'm so used to taking them off.

It's fine. Come on. We're just through here.

I'll get you some water out of the fridge.

Nice.

-Oh, little Theo. -Oh yeah, he's really small there.

-Is he home? -No, he's at his dad's.

-So cute. -Yeah. There you go.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

-All good? -Yeah.

So this is the famous counter top?

This is the famous counter top, yeah.

I turned away for a couple of seconds

and I could see in the corner of my eye

him crawl up, and then... bam.

Must be tough when things happen to your kid like that.

Oh my god, you feel so shit. So shit.

-How's that water? -Awesome, yeah. Really delicious.

Can I get you anything else, or...?

Do you want a glass of wine?

Yeah.

-You sure? -Yeah.

Yeah. Especially after the day we've had.

It's... pinot noir, hope that's all right with you.

-Yeah, that's fine. -Good.

-Well, cheers. -Cheers.

Good, right?

I've been working there for six months or something like that.

I have this script in my head, so I know what to say at all times

to make them think that I'm listening to them.

But I really don't, I'm just on my phone, scrolling,

and when they talk, I'm like, "Mhm, yeah, I understand

how can I...", you know?

No, I get it. I had a very brief call centre career back in uni.

-Yeah, where? -IBM.

Back in the day, IBM were the shit.

They paid really good money, they employed all the students,

so it was good in that sense, but it was horrendous.

I think I lasted two weeks before I got sacked.

-Two weeks? -Two weeks. God, I was so shit.

I think I'm pretty shit at it too, to be honest.

But, it's work. I need to do something, and...

I don't plan on staying there forever.

-No. What do you want to do? -That's a good question.

I want to make a shit ton of money somehow.

-Sounds good. -But...

Have a beautiful mansion at the beach of California...

-Oh, really? -A couple of private jets...

-Oh, nice. -And a bunch of kids.

-A bunch? How many do you want? -Five?

I've got one and that's a lot. You want five?

Yeah. I really like the idea of little mini mes running around.

I want kids, you know?

Yeah. It is amazing.

But it's also horrendous at the same time!

Honestly, you love them more than anything else in this world,

but they are also these little dickheads.

Honestly! Anyway... Do you come from a big family?

No. It's just... It's been me and my mum, really.

Yeah. Are you from London?

No, I'm from up North, near Manchester.

I'm a huge Manchester United fan.

I'm a sworn City fan.

-No! -Yes, yes.

-So be aware. -No, come on...

Have you seen them play?

No, but that's... at the top of my bucket list.

-To see them play at Old Trafford. -You should while you're here.

I'm gonna try to bribe my roommate to... come with me.

He's not that football interested but...

-Is he Swedish too? -Yeah.

How long have you guys lived together?

-Just a couple of weeks. -Yeah? Where do you guys live?

-South Kensington. -Oh. Fancy.

But I used to live in Dalston, I really liked it there.

How come you moved?

I...

Well, I used to live there with my girlfriend

and now... I don't anymore.

-Ah, okay. -Yeah.

-Did you guys split up, or... -We're kind of on hold right now.

I found out that she was with another guy behind my back and...

Yeah, so...

Yeah.

-Sorry, did I just kill the vibe? -No.

I'm sorry you went through that. That's really tough.

-We were together for seven years. -That's a long time.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Are you okay? How are you doing?

I mean, some days are good, but some days are pretty bad.

It gets better. Trust me.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah. It's good to hear.

Theo's dad messed around behind my back.

So, I know that going through something like that

is really fucking tough.

It changes your perception of the world.

-Doesn't it? -Yeah.

Everything you thought you knew just takes a different turn.

Yeah. Totally.

-Did you leave him, or...? -Yeah, I did. Eventually.

We tried to do that whole making things work, at the start,

but there were just so many issues between us and we couldn't fix it.

Did you still love him, though?

I think I was in love with the idea of us.

You know, like us being a family with Theo and...

leaving him was one of the hardest fucking things I've ever done.

But once I did, it was...

like a relief.

Yeah.

Thanks for the wine and everything...

Yeah. No worries, you're welcome.

It was... very...

Oh, wait. Wait, wait.

You're gonna need those. -Oh, my God.

-Am I stupid or what? -No, I wouldn't worry.

Yeah.

-Thank you for the lovely time. -It was nice chatting with you.

Yeah, thank you.

Oh, okay. Yeah.

-How old are you, David? -Twenty-eight.

Twenty-four.

-I'm gonna come. -It's okay.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Come here.

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah, fuck. Yeah.

-What the fuck just happened? -I don't know.
