So, we'll see where that leads. / And, even if it doesn't ... / It will. / Yeah, but, if it doesn't, think of everything else you've got / today. / construction / back on track. Amside's books are looking ___ / for a good while and / market development is going great / all / you brought it off. It's your business, Matt, no matter what lawyers might say. / Ah, I've been such a fool. / No, you haven't. / I don't know what I was thinking. I've always said, if the deal looks too good to be true, then it probably is. I guess ... I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was. / That's nonsense. / Is it, Lilian? I can talk / good / Matt / I've hardly got anything I can genuinely call my own. And, what I had, I've let it slip away. / It's only money. / I'm not just talking about the money, Lilian. / Matt. You are the man that I want. I've never stopped loving you. ... Oh, it's getting chilly. / Yeah. I guess we should make a move. / where should we go? Maybe I could come back to your hotel.

Daaa ha ha ha, / Zak, for god's sake. / I don't know about that, I don't know about that. / So? What now? The night is still young. / Well, for you, maybe. I have to be up in the morning. / And so does he / see that, Brenda? / See what? / You can't tell me what to do outside office hours / here we go. / where is that C___ '96? / Zak, I'll come with you. I'll show you ... / He knows more about the contents of my wine chiller / than I do. / Seems that way. / Right then. Music. / You are really close, aren't you? The three of you. / How do you mean? / I don't know. It's great. It's just ... / You feel left out? / I guess. ... Oh, ignore me. It's just, everything ... the apartment, the restaurant ... I'm not used to living like this. / I thought you liked it. / I do, in a mad sort of way, but it's like, when I came back to the table, / talking business, it felt / want me to be part of it. / I didn't want to bore you. I'm sorry. / no, no / I'm a business person too. Well, at least / months / am. There must be loads of stuff I could learn. / Sure. / if you'd let me. / I'm working on a big deal at the moment. / In Brunei? / No. Something else. Something new. Would you like to invest? / Sorry? / I'll guarantee you ___ money. / What money? / Dima, I've got about 500 pounds in the savings account / That'll do. / all counts / Don't be ridiculous. / if you want to be a part of things. / Well, I suppose. / Trust me, Brenda. Let me invest it for you, and I promise a good return.

It's pretty basic, I'm afraid. / It's OK. / I couldn't afford anything ___ish. / Well, what you really need / exactly. It's clean, and it's got a bed. / I'll put the lamps on / What? / The window is open. / So? / Yeah. Well, / let the fumes in. I'm sure / before I left. / the maid / been in. / yeah / so / Why can't they just clean and leave everything alone, eh? / Matt, what's this? / Huh? / What were you doing with the Teddy Bear? / What's that? / is that yours? / Put it down. / Why? / I don't know how / what's the matter? / yeah / you weren't supposed to see / it was a surprise / for me? / yeah, yeah. I was / shop / I just thought, I don't know / Matt, oh, that's very sweet of you. / Yeah, like I said, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. If you don't like / chuck it away / No, no, of course I'm gonna keep it. Thank you. Oh, come here. / the door does lock when you close it, doesn't it? / Yeah, I'm sure it does. / Just let me check. / Matt, Matt, nobody's gonna walk in on us. I've been so lonely without you. I never want to lose you. / ... Nuh, I can't, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let you come back here. / What do you mean? I thought ... / Lilian, please. / OK, OK, it's, it's too soon. I understand. I shouldn't have pushed you / Yeah. You have to leave. / Sorry? / Now. / Fine, if that's what you want. It's not what I want though. You certain, Matt? / You've heard me, Lilian. Just go. Please.
