Say it again.
1:01:04
- What?
- What you just said.

1:01:06
You are naughty.
1:01:13
That's it.
1:01:16
Same inflection.
Do you know, that takes me back years...

1:01:21
when we first met.
1:01:24
That awful boarding house.
1:01:25
For weeks I watched you come and go
and I never spoke a word to you.

1:01:30
Every morning you used
to set off for work punctually.

1:01:35
9:10. You were always in such a rush.
1:01:39
I had no idea you were watching me.
1:01:41
And then one night I went into the bathroom
just after you'd had a bath.

1:01:46
And the mirror was all steamed up...
1:01:49
and the bathmat
was all wet and glistening...

1:01:52
where you'd been standing on it...
1:01:54
and there was a smell of bath crystals
and talcum powder.

1:01:59
It was like an enchanted wood.
1:02:04
I stood quite still on the bathmat,
in your footprints.

1:02:10
And then I noticed
that you'd left your comb behind.

1:02:14
It was a pink plastic comb,
and it had your hairs in it.

1:02:18
And I kept that comb as a souvenir.
1:02:21
And all that time,
I'd never spoken a word to you.

1:02:29
You soon made up for it.
1:02:31
Tell you what. Forget about the ballet.
1:02:33
It's ridiculous queuing up for tickets
in the middle of the night.

1:02:36
- Stay here and have breakfast with me.
- I can't.

1:02:39
Better still, listen, you go back to bed...
1:02:42
and I'll bring your breakfast on a tray,
like I used to when we first got together.

1:02:47
Don't be silly. I can't. You know I can't.
1:02:49
They'll all be waiting for me.
1:02:53
Who'll be waiting for you?
1:02:56
I told you. The whole gang.
1:02:58
Including that slimy
young English teacher...
