What are you doing here?
:24:04
Thought I'd surprise you.
:24:06
Oh!
:24:08
- Where've you been?
- I was stranded in St James's Park.

:24:11
A frilly fop with a hard-on
thought I was a whore on the make.

:24:15
This is why I prefer Hyde Park.
:24:17

:24:19
So, what happened?
:24:24

:25:23
It was a girl.

- How was she?

:25:56
