Any Questions for Ben? Page #4

Should we go to the bar?

Yeah, right.

Em, you don't have

Alex's number, do you?

Yeah, sure.

We were meant to get together.

It might be nice to catch up.

Oh, she's gone.

She went to Canberra this morning,

then she's flying out.

Oh. Bummer. OK.

I've got her email address

if you want.

- Yeah, that would be great.

- She'd love to hear from you.

- Well...

- I'll send it to you.

- Excellent.

- Doing it now.

# It's the time of the season

# When love runs high

# And this time, give it to me easy

# And let me try

with pleasured hands

# To take you in the sun

to promised lands

# To show you everyone

# It's the time of the season

for loving. #

- Oh, my God!

- Behold.

- You had a big TV.

- Not this big.

Bring on summer sports.

Are you gonna make it later?

Yeah. What morons have a work Christmas

party on Christmas Eve?

Just don't show.

I'll make an appearance

and sneak out the back.

Oh, the spirit of Christmas.

Have you considered the possibility

you might enjoy it?

Everyone say, 'Smart casual! '

Smart casual!

This is killing me!

Now... got a little surprise for you.

- I know what you're all thinking.

- I doubt that.

This is not the venue

for tonight's party.

The venue is actually

right behind you.

Not a boat, not a boat,

not a boat... Sh*t.

That's right, folks. That barbecue boat

is ours for the next four hours.

Oh, f***!

It's gonna be great fun. Let's go.

Cheers, all.

How's everyone down here?

Oh, OK.

Been looking all over for you.

Now you've found me.

Oh, she's a beautiful old city,

isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

- Quite the dame.

- Yep.

Ken's firmed up his ideas.

- Brand ambassadors.

- Oh, yeah?

Spoken with a few player agents.

The thing with agents...

They're mentioning big names.

- They're talking Venus Williams.

- They'll do that.

I'd be happy with Serena.

Listen, you've gotta be careful

with these promises.

What are we doing?

We're talking shop. Guilty.

- OK.

- Christmas Eve. Soak it up.

Look, it's me! Let's have

a photo with Santa.

What has been going on

below decks?

Alright, listen up, everybody.

You're probably wondering

why we've pulled in here.

- Somali pirates?

- What's that, Ben?

I'm just wondering.

Well, you might. Time

for surprise number two.

Oh, this isn't good.

Over that hill

is the Sidney Vyer Music Bowl.

- Uh-oh.

- Home to Carols by Candlelight.

Please, no.

Where wc as a sponsor have a reserved

row for the entire concert!

- You with me?

- Yeah!

This way, my friends.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

If you could see what I can see

from where I am,

what a sight!

Umpire Aleem Dar

says over.

This really is a wonderful atmosphere...

Just realised we haven't

checked the box.

Junk, junk...

Looks like a letter for you.

Do we need a handyman?

Uh... no, no.

Another Thai restaurant.

# So tell me family now

what do you think?

# Watch it all go down

the great big sink

# Watch how the scum

it rises to the top

# Don't you wonder

when it's all gonna stop?

# Sometimes I wonder

how we do sleep

# Serving the dodgy companies

we keep

# All kicking and scrounging

for the very first place... #

- Smells good.

- Hey, Benny boy.

It's 'cause it is good.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Nothing. I was up, I thought

I'd get an early start.

- What's up?

- Nothing. I felt like a coffee.

- Come on.

- Come on, Sam, I'm fine.

Benny, I know that look.

What's up?

So... it's that bloody school thing

I had to talk at.

Did you tell them what I told you?

About crushing your opposition?

Uh, sort of. Not really.

There were five of us, right.

We each did our thing

and at the end of the Q&A part,

I didn't get asked

a single question.

Not one? Not one?

And it wasn't even

just the questions there.

As I was describing what I did,

I don't know, I guess

it sounded kinda... flaky.

Flaky? Did you tell them

what you get paid?

The highest paid 27-year-old

in town.

Shove that down

your pimply f***in' faces.

Not really appropriate.

You know what it is? Envy.

You've got the best life

of anyone I know.

- It's not that good.

- It's the best.

It's OK.

I should have charged.

Don't get fooled by do-gooders.

Every kid there would take

what you've got in a flash.

Now I look like a commercial

litigation lawyer.

You are a commcrcial litigation lawyer.

- My point, Andy.

- Don't worry about it.

At Bergine, we see a natural link

between international tennis

and the wristwatch.

Can a watch have an ambassador?

Katerina Sinova.

My God!

I would like to take this opportunity

to thank you all for your support.

Icon brands.

We're talking global feel.

Right, but you don't say

any of that. Leave that to me.

And it's just for

Australasia or its limited territory.

Right... do I say that?

I'll take care of all of that. Just

play the mogul, turn on the charm.

We're certainly looking forward

to seeing your daughter out on court.

Da.

We'll all be cheering her on.

- You're not going to?

- No.

- I think he gets the idea.

- Sure.

Of course, the Americans would say

we'd be rootin' for her.

OK, we might... we've been

vcry selfish with your time.

Thank you for your time.

- Absolute delight.

- Enjoy the evening.

- All the best for the tournament.

- Can't wait to see you in action.

Good luck with the tournament.

- All the best to you all. Thank you.

- Thanks. See you.

Oh, man!

That Russian sense of humour!

- What did she have to say?

- Not much.

Just touched on sponsorships,

stuff like that.

- Oh... my... God.

- What?

She's coming.

- Sh*t, is her dad with her?

- No.

She's coming. She's here.

- Ahem.

- That was great.

- Hello again.

- Hi.

- Hi, I'm Katerina.

- Yes, you are.

- This is Nick.

- I am.

- This is Andy.

- Hi, Andy. Katerina.

Sorry, I was getting a little tired

talking to agents.

Oh, who could blame you?

I was thinking of maybe

getting out of here.

- Sure.

- Vaybe go have a drink?

Sounds good to me.

- And your friends?

- They're fine.

- Oh, no...

- No, we're fine.

- Are we?

- We're good.

Just you and I, then.

Terrific. Well, where shall we go?

Wow! This place is incredible.

Another family lives here?

Just me.

If we split up, we should meet back

here. Should we order food?

No, I don't think so.

Drink, perhaps?

I'm already a little tipsy.

OK...

Technically what base

am I on at the moment?

You have had sex before?

No, I have a couple of times.

Never with a top-ten tennis player.

Well, who believes

those WTA rankings?

Shall we take this to the bedroom?

- No?

- No.

Yeah. This probably

folds out anyway.

Loosen up. You seem nervous.

- You are funny.

- Thanks very much.

- Um...

- It's beautiful.

- Yes, it is very pretty. Katerina?

- Yeah?

Should we maybe

close the curtains?

You don't like looking at my body?

Yes, I do. Just not on YouTube.

Yeah... see, I don't think

we've solved it, have we? Oh!

Hi, you wanted to see me?

- Well done last night.

- Thanks. You too.
