He said I'd got too fat.
:14:07
Mine was shagging his secretary.
:14:10
Such a cliché.
:14:11
I'll tell you one thing: Men are bastards.
:14:14
After about 10 minutes...
:14:16
...I wanted to cut my own penis off
with a kitchen knife.

:14:22
Me.
:14:23
Yes.
:14:26
I have a 2-year-old. Ned.
:14:32
He's got blue eyes
and sort of sandy-colored hair...

:14:35
...and he's about 2'3.
:14:38
And his mum left.
:14:41
-Really?
-Yeah.

:14:44
Yeah, I mean,
obviously it was a very big shock...

:14:47
...because we were so happy, you know?
:14:50
Sandra's neurology practice
was just up and running...

:14:54
...and then one day her bags were packed,
and my best friend was waiting outside...

:14:58
...in his Ferrari.
:15:00
Yeah. You know, the Modena?
:15:01
The one with the supercharged engine,
where you can see it through the back window?

:15:08
-You got dumped then?
-Yeah.

:15:15
May I ask, does your ex see Ned at all?
:15:20
Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
:15:22
Suzie.
:15:23
Suzie.
:15:25
She doesn't see much of him, no.
:15:28
How does he cope with that?
:15:30
He's a very good little boy.
:15:32
Very, very brave.
:15:34
They've got amazing resources, don't they?
:15:36
Just the other day I was thinking about my ex.
:15:39
He came crawling up, put his little pudgy arms
around my neck, and he said:

:15:44
"You hang in there, Dad."
:15:46
God, that's amazing for a 2-year-old!
:15:49
Is it?
:15:53
Yeah, he's very special. Very, very special.
:15:56
Sometimes I think, you know,
he's the one taking care of me.

:15:59
Teaching me the ways of the world.
