Any Questions for Ben? Page #5

Thank you. I just got off

the phone from IMG.

They reckon Katerina

might be up for it.

Uh, yeah, I think she might be.

Fingers crossed.

And if my radar's anything to go by,

I thought I got a certain vibe

from our little Russian Miss.

- No.

- I thought she had eyes for you.

- No!

- I'm just saying.

For me? No! I'm outta here.

Only saying what I saw.

Vark my words.

- Seriously, I have to leave you to it.

- Sure, sure.

Plenty to get on with.

Ha, ha. Good fun.

- Hey.

- Don't ask how I know.

Oh, God.

I once dated a weather presenter.

It was a wonderful experience.

But one of the hottest female

tennis players in the world!

That is more than an experience,

my friend, that is an achievement!

Yeah, well.

OK, what's going on?

- Nothing's going on.

- Something's up. Come on.

- I don't know.

- Benny.

Really, I don't know.

It's just like... lately, even when

good things happen, I feel...

I don't know, I feel weird, that's all.

It's nothing.

Sam, I can't even get to sleep.

Why would you want to sleep?

I'd be taking No-Doz.

Yeah.

Benny, let's discuss this

somewhere else.

- Really? Nah, I'm fine.

- Come on.

Sh*t.

Sam, Sam, Sam...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa! Whoa, alright.

Let me get this straight. You

think I should buy a Ferrari?

No, of course not.

I'm talking 'metaphorically'.

A Porsche, a Vaserati,

borrow mine.

The point is, enjoy yourself,

indulge yourself.

Ben, you're currently dating one

of the world's top tennis players.

No, no, no. We're not dating.

Even better. Jackpot.

Soak it up, my friend.

Celebrate it.

OK. Alright.

Red light! Red light! Red light!

It's good for ya!

If I had the hiccups!

Wow! Cool car!

What does Samz

mean in English?

Uh... nickname.

Just an old nickname -

Samz, Samzy.

Alright, let's go. Uh...

Are you going to press the button?

Huh? Yeah, I was.

I was just making sure

the race mode was off. Yeah.

Uh, right. Better be going.

F*** me.

Sorry. It does that.

Oh, my God!

Sorry, I'm sorry. It's my bad.

# Working your fingers to the bone

# Driving you mad

and he shoulda known

# Wrap it baby

I'm taking you home

# Get off your throne

I want you alone

# Take just a little bit of time

# Just to make you feel alright

# Just enough to ease the party

Hit the lights

# You've got pressure

dripping off your shoulders

# Let me be the one to relieve it

# Let's get unprofessional

# Don't you know

it's gonna feel much better with

# Just a little bit

Just a little bit... #

Did I pick it?

- Did I pick it?

- Yes, you certainly did.

Wow, above and beyond

the call of duty, eh?

We just caught up over a drink.

- Talk about making a connection.

- Just doing brand management, boss.

- Bit of repositioning.

- Sorry, I really have to...

- Sure.

- OK.

Anyway, I think we're this close

to seeing Katerina Sinova

in a Simpson top.

- Terrific.

- Or out of one.

- Good fun.

- Great fun.

outside courts,

to Rod Lavor Arena now,

and Alicia Molik, the former

world number eight

takes on Katerina Sinova,

currently number 16 in the world.

They walk down the tunnel,

past the former champions here.

There's Katerina,

the young Russian...

Ready for play.

First set.

...challenging the ball on the right far

sideline. The ball was called out.

It's out.

- Let's just watch ourselves.

- What?

- I'm just saying relax.

- You're telling me to relax?

Well, tone it down.

If I find out that you were with her

last night before the game,

I will kill you, you hear me?

Yes, I think we can all hear you.

- Did you have sex with her?

- What?

- You make sexy?

- Can we talk about this later?

- You have sex with Katerina?

- No, I did not.

Quiet, please.

If you hadn't f***ed

our chances...

Hang on, I was dragged in

on your idea.

I didn't ask you to be dragged in.

Hang on! Let's work

together on this.

Ken, it's a hiccup.

The brand ambassador concept

is not dead.

Can I say something here?

- This will be good.

- Ken. Please.

Go ahead.

No 20-year-old is going

to buy a shirt

because some sports star

pretends to wear it.

That's old school.

Kids will buy this stuff if they think

it's been rediscovered, reinvented.

That something authentic

is going on.

You persist with these

B- grade endorsements

and we'll end up looking

lame and dated and tragic.

Ken?

Hey! Here she is.

Hello.

Hi. Bad luck.

Let me just pop that in the old...

Yeah, water's topped up. Great.

- Where do you wanna go?

- Dubai.

Come again?

I have to get the serve sorted out

before the next tournament.

- OK...

- Katerina!

Hi.

So he got bail. That's good. Terrific.

Sorry about the shirt thing.

Vy agent...

It's fine, it's really fine.

- You're cool, yeah?

- What? Yeah.

Of course I'm cool.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- You're sure?

- I'm sure that I'm cool.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- What happened with Katerina?

- She's gone.

Had to get to the next tournament.

Ah, bummer. And?

Nah. She wants to hook up

again whenever.

Great! It's perfect.

Dude, I'll see you next time.

Yeah, OK.

Ah... I don't know, man.

It's not just that...

Hey, have you got a second?

Yeah, shoot.

Mind if we turn the TV off?

- Off or down?

- Off.

What's up?

I don't know. It's...

It's like I've been feeling

a bit weird lately.

- A bit unbalanced.

- Really?

Yeah, yeah. More like... you know,

my head's been spinning.

- Is this an inner ear thing?

- No, no. Just a general feeling.

Yeah. I don't know, like disorientated,

if that makes sense.

- Sounds inner ear to me.

- It's not.

Remember we went diving

and that guy came up too fast?

- Do you hear ringing?

- No, I don't.

Hey, we should go diving again.

Once you get your ear checked.

Yeah.

Holy moly!

- G'day, Ben.

- G'day, Brian.

- Is this hers?

- No.

No, I had to... It's a long story.

- Vate, I've got time.

- What's happened?

Hey, Dad, can we have a chat?

- Sure, fire away.

- This will be good.

Vaybe somewhere

a little more private?

Thanks, Dad.

We are selling a few of these.

You've got the ensuite,

shower, toilet, LCD...

Dad. Can we sit down?

- Height's adjustable.

- Nah, it's fine.

- Little water?

- Dad.

- Light?

- What? Dad, no, can we just...

Sure.

OK...

Dad, over the years,

have you ever questioned

what you're doing with your life?

I sell caravans for a living,

what do you think?

Dad...

Yeah... you know, at times, I have.

And?

Well, there's a lot of 'grass is

greener' and that sort of stuff.

You're gonna face the same problems

no matter what you do.

At the end of the day I think you're

better off just doing your thing.

OK, but how do you know

what's the right thing?

I don't know how you know that, no.

Do you?

No, why?

Dad, that's why I'm asking you.

Oh, right. Yeah. No, yeah.

It's why I'm here.

- Spoken to your mother?

- No.

Probably wise. She gets a little

technical over this stuff.

You don't think I'm going

through a midlife crisis?

At 27?

I don't know, a quarter-life crisis,

then.
