Hello, mate.
1:00:13
Listen, I need your help.
1:00:18
Why did you tell this lady I was your son?
1:00:20
No, I didn't tell her.
1:00:21
I told you,
she just got the wrong end of the stick.

1:00:24
So just tell her.
1:00:26
-No. Can't do that.
-Why not?

1:00:28
We're really going around in circles here.
Just accept the facts, okay?

1:00:32
You're my son.
1:00:33
I'll tell her, if you like. I don't mind.
1:00:35
That's very kind of you, Marcus, but no.
1:00:38
-Why not?
-For Christ's sake!

1:00:40
She's got a rare disease
and if she believes something that's not right...

1:00:44
...then hears the truth, her brain will boil
in her head and she'll die, okay?

1:00:48
That's a load of shit.
1:00:51
I'm really interested in this woman.
1:00:55
What do you mean, interested?
1:00:57
What's so interesting about her?
1:00:59
Okay, Marcus, here.
1:01:01
Here's my last scrap of dignity. Enjoy it.
1:01:05
I want to go out with her. Okay?
1:01:07
I'd like her to be my girlfriend. There, I said it.
1:01:09
Brilliant! Why didn't you just say that?
1:01:12
I don't know.
1:01:14
I was embarrassed or something,
'cause this is a bit new for me.

1:01:18
I just met her, her name's Rachel. She's sort of...
1:01:20
There's this girl at school. Ellie.
1:01:22
I kind of want her to be my girlfriend.
1:01:24
I'm not exactly sure.
1:01:26
I've been meaning to ask you.
1:01:27
What's the difference between
a girl who's your friend and a girlfriend?

1:01:31
Well, I don't know.
1:01:35
Do you want to touch her?
1:01:37
Is that so important?
1:01:39
Yeah, you've heard about sex, right?
1:01:40
It is kind of a big deal.
1:01:42
I know. I'm not stupid.
1:01:45
I just can't believe there's nothing more to it.
1:01:47
I mean, like, I want to be with her more.
I want to be with her all the time.

1:01:51
And I want to tell her things
I don't even tell you or Mum.

1:01:54
And I don't want her to have another boyfriend.
1:01:56
If I could have all those things...
1:01:58
...I wouldn't really mind if I touched her or not.
