You know you're in trouble when
a sight like that can't keep you planted.

:55:10
When l was a boy
at St. Alban's Secondary School,

:55:14
the school took us
on this cultural trip

:55:16
to observe art at one of the--
:55:19
One of those big famous
London museums.

:55:21
Anyway, when l was there,
:55:23
l came across this statue
of a Greek goddess in marble.

:55:26
Aphrodi-- Aphrodite,
something like that.

:55:30
Beautiful, she was.
:55:33
Perfect female form.
:55:36
Chiselled features.
:55:38
Exquisite.
:55:41
l stood in awe of her.
:55:44
Finally, the teacher calls us
all over, and I’m walking past it,

:55:47
and on the way l notice,
in the side of this Greek goddess,

:55:51
all these cracks,
chips, imperfections.

:55:56
Ruined her for me.
:56:00
Well, that's Nikki.
:56:03
A beautiful sculpture...
:56:06
...damaged...
:56:08
...in a way you don't notice
till you get too close.

:56:21
l lost the signal for a second there.
:56:25
But l don't know.
:56:27
lt's just a lot of personal stuff
going on.

:56:29
You know what l mean?
:56:35
- Oh, l know.
- Welcome, Mr Alfie.

:56:37
Good to see you, Elvis. Look, l hope
you don't mind me rambling on.

:56:40
- Enjoy your evening, sir.
- Thank you.

:56:45
As you can see, the lad's
moving up in the world.

:56:53
lt's just that I’ve got
this friend who's,

:56:56
let's say, outstayed his welcome.
