Don't stalk Jon.
Caroline, my flat mate, has won an award for her work so I have to go to that, which will be a fun night You sound a bit despondent about that.
Has Caroline winning this award highlighted for you how far away from your professional objectives you are? Are you feeling resentful? You got the mean mouth, kid.
Just like your ass.
I'm not actually that far away from my professional objectives.
I'm going to see my agent-.
When you were stinking out the toilet I was explaining that, so, it's not that.
That's not why I'm not looking forward to it.
So what is it, then? Good evening.
And thank you very much to the CNB for their kindly invite.
So much sweat.
She was like she was in a Tennessee Williams play.
And this time she's written a speech and it's for a worthy cause and the worse thing is, she doesn't even know she sweats.
Ah.
It's gonna be awful.
Will you excuse me? Not again? Open the window! Don't send lilies, darling! It's not a funeral! Peonies! Marcella, hello! Hi, Pam.
Thank you so much for seeing me.
I appreciate you're very busy.
Not at all.

What can I do for you, darling? Well, I don't want it to sound like I'm complaining, cos I'm definitely not complaining.
Would you like one? I love a satsuma.
They really are the civilised orange.
Oh.
Uh, no thanks.
Oranges can be very acidic.
Do continue.
