1:07:01
...shouldn't you tell them things like that?
1:07:04
No.
1:07:05
I mean, you know, like the truth.
1:07:09
What's wrong with you?
1:07:12
But later that night,
when I was on my own...

1:07:15
...I remembered the deal
Marcus was prepared to strike.

1:07:19
Yes, I wanted to touch Rachel.
1:07:22
But at this moment, if I had the choice...
1:07:25
...I'd settle for the less and the more
that Marcus wanted.

1:07:29
Jesus, was I turning into Marcus?
1:07:31
Would he be buying me shoes soon?
1:07:35
I took his advice and told Rachel the truth.
1:07:39
Or very nearly the truth.
1:07:41
That I wasn't Marcus' natural father.
1:07:45
And that is not natural seaweed.
1:07:47
The problem was, once I told the truth,
I knew there'd be more questions.

1:07:51
I don't get it. If you're not his natural father...
1:07:53
...and you don't live with him,
then how is he your son?

1:07:58
Yeah, I see.
1:07:59
It must look very confusing from the outside.
1:08:02
Tell me how it is on the inside.
1:08:05
It's just one of those long, boring stories.
1:08:08
Look, do you want to move on to wine?
1:08:10
You want some Chinese rice wine, miss?
1:08:12
You would like to try,
I suspect, the Panang Paneng.

1:08:18
Yeah?
1:08:20
No.
1:08:23
Tell me about your relationship with Ali.
1:08:25
-Is that as complicated as mine and Marcus'?
-No.

1:08:29
I slept with his father,
and then nine months later I gave birth.

1:08:32
Pretty straightforward.
1:08:33
Yeah. I envy you that.
1:08:37
I'm really sorry to harp on about this
but I haven't got it all worked out yet.

1:08:41
You are Marcus' stepfather,
but you don't live with him or with his mother.

1:08:47
No, you see, wait.
