So, Fiona, how are you?
:31:10
-I mean, how are you feeling?
-My stomach's fine.

:31:15
Great.
:31:18
I must still be a bit barmy, though.
:31:20
This kind of thing doesn't go away overnight,
does it?

:31:24
No.
:31:28
If Mum was going to get Will to marry
her, she'd have to quit making jokes.

:31:32
At least she looked good.
:31:33
I had her put on that nice hairy jumper...
:31:35
...and the earrings she got from her friend
that went to Zimbabwe.

:31:38
The kid seemed to think
this was a date.

:31:40
As for his mum, she was clearly insane...
:31:42
...and appeared to be wearing
some kind of Yeti costume.

:31:45
This had better be quick.
We were definitely not ordering starters.

:31:49
I'll start with the artichoke, please.
:31:50
Then I'll have a mushroom omelet with fries
and a Coke.

:31:53
-I'll have the vegetable platter.
-We're vegetarians.

:31:56
I'd never have guessed.
:31:58
Steak sandwich, please, mate. Thanks.
:32:04
This was going really well.
:32:06
I wondered if we were going to move into
Will's place or move into someplace new.

:32:11
I heard he sang a good song
:32:16
I heard he had a style
:32:21
I knew, of course,
the song couldn't last forever...

:32:23
...that I'd soon be at home, tucked up in bed.
:32:26
I knew it, but I couldn't feel it.
:32:30
And there he was, this young boy
:32:33
I must've been insane.
All I'd wanted was a date with Suzie.

:32:36
This was my punishment.
:32:38
Strumming my pain with his fingers
:32:43
The worst part was
when they closed their eyes.

:32:46
Killing me softly with his song
:32:49
Killing me softly
:32:52
Come sing with us, Will.
:32:54
I should really get going. Thanks.
:32:58
That's the problem with charity.
You must mean it.
