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.
1:09:01
I never said he was my son.
1:09:04
Did I?
1:09:05
The words "I have a son called Marcus,"
never escaped my lips.

1:09:08
It's what you chose to believe.
1:09:10
Yeah. Right.
1:09:12
It's me that's the fantasist.
1:09:15
I wanted to believe that you had a son,
so I let my imagination run riot.

1:09:18
Obviously I played a part, I can see that.
1:09:21
No! Not at all.
I met you and I thought, "Cute guy".

1:09:24
God, if only he had a son.
A geeky, teenage kid, if possible.

1:09:27
Then you turned up at my house
with Marcus, and bingo!

1:09:30
Now I made this crazy link
'cause of some deep psychological need in me.

1:09:36
You shouldn't beat yourself up about it.
1:09:39
It could have happened to anyone.
1:09:45
The first time I met you
I thought you were a bit blank.

1:09:52
But then you changed my mind.
1:09:56
Maybe I was right.
1:09:58
-Rachel, listen.
-Yes?
