Matt.
1:12:15
I've got to interrupt,
I'm afraid.

1:12:19
It's all right.
1:12:22
Did you mind me taking this?
1:12:23
No, not a bit.
1:12:25
Have you just got back?
1:12:27
I've been finishing
some notes.

1:12:28
No, don't put it off.
1:12:32
It's rather fine.
1:12:36
I've spent most of today...
1:12:37
wondering how
to explain things to you.

1:12:39
You've had some pretty
rough things flung at you...

1:12:41
and now you'd better
have the truth.

1:12:43
It's up to me
to give it to you.

1:12:46
- Shall we sit down?
- Yes.

1:12:50
I don't know how much
you heard today...

1:12:52
but I presume enough to know
that I'm your real father...

1:12:56
and Jenny's your mother.
1:12:58
Were you and Jenny
married once?

1:13:01
No, Matt,
we were never married.

1:13:05
We fell in love while
I was in New York studying.

1:13:08
I did ask her to marry me,
to come home to England.

1:13:13
But I hadn't reckoned
with one thing...

1:13:15
that was her career, which meant
more to her than anything else.

1:13:18
I couldn't make her
change her mind...

1:13:20
and I had to come back here
to work, so I came alone.

1:13:25
That's pretty clear,
isn't it?

1:13:28
Yes.
1:13:33
Then I met Janet again.
1:13:35
We'd known each other
since we were almost your age.

1:13:39
It was always
rather expected...

1:13:40
that we'd get married,
so we did.

1:13:44
Then I heard that
you were about to be born.

1:13:51
Jenny did her best
to look after you...

1:13:53
but touring the world
with a small child...

1:13:56
isn't always convenient.
