of experience dumping girls.

Dont worry.

Im already gone.

Strange.

But even when you know

it has to end...

...when it finally does...

...you always get

that inevitable twinge:

Have l done the right thing?

I must admit...

...I do miss the companionship.

Nikki was a showstopper.

But as me ugly old Aunt Gladys

used to say,

Looks arent everything.

I used to think that was

a load of bollocks,

but just lately Ive been thinking...

...maybe the old bat had something.

Julie?

Alfie, hi.

What a surprise.

- God, I havent seen you since...

- Yeah.

You look... You look amazing.

Thanks. You too.

You look good too.

Im getting over a cold.

- But youre okay otherwise?

- Im fine. Im always fine.

Its good to see you.

And you.

Hey, you know, I was...

Im sorry about

what happened between us.

And Im sorry how it all ended up.

It wasnt...

It wasnt good.

I felt bad about not seeing Max

and about not seeing you.

- Its water under the bridge.

- Good.

You know...

...Im wondering...

Maybe we...

You know I can never

promise anything.

But if you want, if you like,

maybe we could

see each other again.

It would be okay by me.

It would be more than okay,

it would be great.

- Alfie, I...

- Yeah?

This is Adam.

Hey, how are you?

- Hey, how you doing, Adam?

- Pretty good.

- Adam.

- Yeah.

It was great running into you.

- You look fantastic.

- Thanks.

What time is it? Ive gotta go.

Im late for a meeting.

Nice to meet you, Adam.

Julie?

- Hows Max?

- Oh, really good.

Will you say hi?

- Sure.

- Or not.

Be well.

Hello.

Hello.

Mrs Wing, is everything...?

Wing.

Why are you crying?

Im not crying. Get out.

- You sure?

- Im fine. Get out, Alfie.

Im sorry. I just wanted to see

if I could borrow a car.

She leave me.

Sorry?

Blossom leave me.

Blossom? Is that your wifes name,

Blossom?

What I do wrong, Alfie? Love her?

Look, mate. Come on,

you can win her back.

Woo her. Send flowers

and chocolates.

Write a poem.

- That what you do?

- Well, actually, no, Ive never done that,

but it may be a way to go.

What rhyme with Blossom?

I would try awesome.

Okay.

You never cease to amaze.

Hey.

Great to see you too, Lon.

I guess I should have rung.

Hey, Sam.

Well, that would have been a plan.

Well, you know, Im sorry,

it was just...

Its nice.

Look, Lonette...

This is so uncomfortable, I know.

Because...

You dont have to whisper.

Marlons not here.

I really miss you both.

And I just wondered, maybe...

Maybe me and you could put it

all behind us,

pretend like it never happened,

and then move forward, you know?

I just...

You know, Alfie...

...dropping by wasnt a good idea.

You two didnt have a baby.

You did have a baby.

No, you were right the first time.

Thinking back to that day at the clinic,

l remember

trying to look in Lons eyes to see

if l could even begin to understand

what she was going through,

and how she wouldnt look at me.

And l think l knew then.

l just didnt want to admit it to myself.

So classically...

...l said nothing.

I knew there was

a good chance the baby

could be Marlons.

At least, I hoped.

This is a lot...

...for me too, Lon.

Marlon stayed.

For now.

Is there anything I can do?

What are you gonna do, Alfie?

Hey.

You know, I never...

- I never meant...

- You never mean to hurt anybody.

But you do, Alfie.

l felt l needed a friend to talk to.

Problem was, they were suddenly

in short supply.

And I dont remember being in the car.

I just... I just... I was stopped.

And Im crying.

- Crying for the little one?

- I dont know exactly.

Maybe for him.

Mostly, I think, for me.

And Marlon.

I never had anybody look at me

quite like that before.

And believe me, Ive had some looks

that could kill.

He stood by Lonette.

I couldve never, ever...

You dont know what youll do

till you really love someone.

Well, now what?

You gonna shoehorn yourself

into the situation?

No.

You did the only thing you could do.

You behaved like a gentleman.

Ive never been accused

of that before.

Dont get all choked up. You also

behaved like a scheming,

backstabbing, so-low-you-can-look-up-

a-snakes-a**hole son of a b*tch.

Next time, think before unzipping.

Its all right. You screwed up.

So, what are you gonna do?

Run to the bridge?

The question is...

...whats gonna happen with

the rest of your life?

Id be lying if I didnt admit the events

of the past few weeks

have knocked me for a bit of a loop.

All right, all right, all right.

Hello, mate.

And what can we do for you

this evening?

- How much are one of those?

- Five-fifty.

And youll need to put them in water

immediately.

Right, Ill have that.

Second thought.

Actually, this is

sort of a special thing.

- Whats the occasion?

- Say again?

- Proposal?

- No. No, no.

Well, I do want to extend an offer

to maybe have a go at it for a bit,

give us a spin, that kind of thing.

I get it. Commitment issues.

Tell me what she, or he, is like,

and well find the appropriate

bloom.

Well, she is...

You know what, shes adventurous.

- Frivole.

- And very sexy.

Im thinking Dolce Vita.

A little mischievous.

You know, cheeky?

Avalanche, with a touch

of mio amore.

And then under it all, shes just...

Shes just kind of sweet.

Liz?

- Hello?

- Its me, my love.

Hey, I didnt expect to see you tonight.

I thought you were working.

I had a cancellation,

so I took the night off.

Listen, I thought we should get

up early, get out of the city,

go to the country

and see if we can stay

- at that B & B youre always on about.

- Id love to, but I cant.

I have an investors breakfast

in the morning.

- How about on the weekend?

- Brilliant. Better.

All right. I thought you may...

Oh, my God.

No. Alfie.

- Oh, what a sweet gesture.

- Milady.

Theyre not out of some plastic bucket.

I handpicked, like, every bud.

- I can see that.

- And apparently, I have a bit of a flair

for flower arranging.

Im impressed.

- Talk about being blown away.

- Good. Mission accomplished.

I like surprising you.

Well, you certainly have done that.

All right, then. Well, youre up early,

so Im off.

- Im gonna see you tomorrow night?

- Yeah.

When we speak,

theres some things...

Some thing I really wanna

talk to you about.

What, honey?

Im gonna wait for the exact perfect

moment, and thats all Ill say.

Ill ring you in the morning.

And, Alfie, thank you for the flowers.

They made my evening.

Really?

In that case, maybe Ill stay.

I dont...

No, its not a good idea.

Theres a guy in there, isnt there?

God...

Go.

Dont do this.

Whats he got?

- Better than me?

- Alfie, please.

Tell me. Please?

Really, I would like to know.

Whats he got? Tell me.

I want to know what hes got.

Please tell me.

Come on. Come on.

Come on, just tell me.

Just tell me, come on.

Whats he got better than me?!

Hes younger than you.

Hes younger than you.

lve gotta admit,

l didnt see it coming.

She caught me off-guard, all right.
