- Yeah.
- See old sights, just wander.
OK, let's do that.
- So?
- This way.
# Every time
# I close my eyes
# It's you
# And I know now... #
Why is it every time you walk
with someone from overseas,
you end up at
Captain Cook's Cottage?
Did you want to go in?
No. It was brought over
brick by brick from England.
- I do.
- Great. We can keep going.
Great place, though.
Location, location, location.
And right next door to a kiosk.
That's convenient.
# There's a place I go
when I'm alone
# Do anything I want
# But it is us I see
# And I cannot believe I'm falling
# That's where I'm going
# Where are you going? #
- Feel like I'm stepping back in time.
- I know.
Oh, man. So many exams.
Yeah.
It's funny, the guy who sat right there
used to cheat off me.
Hmm?
I used to fail on purpose
to teach him a lesson.
You OK?
Feel weird for some reason.
It's being here.
I don't know.
Dropping out, maybe.
You guys stuck at it.
God, we envied you.
What, no!
Yeah, getting a cool job, money.
We were here just plodding away.
Right, and now you're in Yemen.
So, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, well, you know... I'm not crazy
about the place, to be honest.
God, you can stay focused,
can't you?
- You can do that.
- How? I'm not like you.
I don't know.
I mean, even here,
you were always able to just...
Amazing to me.
I never thought you noticed me.
What? Yeah. Yeah, of course I did.
That's nice.
Tak... tukka?
Come on, that's making stuff up.
- Do you want me to order?
Hi, can we have
some of the muhammara,
labneh and bessara to start, to share?
Wow. OK.
You speak Arabic?
Not well.
Not well?! You just ordered dips.
I saw you.
- We'll see what we get.
- How did you do that?
I've been there nearly five years.
Yeah, but I did seven years of French
and I can't get a doughnut.
- You're fluent in Arabic.
- Sort of.
- That is on my to-do list.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Learning Arabic?
Absolutely. Well, that and the ukulele.
Sorry, I can't wait to have the...
mahamamanama.
I will get it. Vahamanmana.
- Manamana.
- I think that's a song.
It is a song.
I think it's the Saudi Arabian
national anthem.
- What was it? Shukr?
- Shukran.
Shukran.
# I got so lost in the moment
# I nearly told you all about how I
- How is it?
- It's good.
too much mahamanama.
You know you can surf in Yemen.
- I didn't know that.
- Really, you can.
Once you've solved that whole pesky
humanitarian crisis thing,
I'll do that.
I'd love to visit Yemen.
What? I would.
Alex, I really would.
Marhabba. Have I got that right?
Marhabba?
- Close enough.
- You don't have to humour me.
- I can understand you.
- Thank you. Shukran very much.
- Terrible.
- No.
What now? Did you want
to grab a gelato or...
Yeah, or we could do that.
I'm not married to the gelati.
- I'm so sorry.
- For what?
Because I actually have to go.
- I think we got the order wrong.
- No, no. It's not...
What.? Hang on,
I can drive you to the airport.
No, that's a bad idea.
But thank you for the day, though.
I really... It was lovely.
I'll stay in touch this time.
- OK.
- OK.
You know what,
I'm going to come to Yemen.
- You don't have to say that.
- I'm going to. I'll fit in.
I've already got marhabba
and shukran down.
Yemen is not the sort of place
that you just fit...
I just think it's the perfect thing
for me to do right now. I really do.
I... I do have to go.
Wait a couple of months.
I'm serious, Alex. Count 'em down.
And it was the wrong season.
- 46 every day.
- That's hot. Are they serious?
Did I tell you there was a travel alert?
- Yeah, you did.
- Yeah? There you go.
I think in three months' time,
Yemen will be perfect.
They're predicting 25 every day.
Much more bearable.
How did Alex take it?
She... Yeah, I'll give her a buzz.
Just want to sort out the time zones.
- Yeah, time zones.
- She wasn't even expecting me.
She was like, 'Honestly, don't come.
Ben, dude, no. ' Her words.
She'll be stoked you tried.
# I got to get away, man
# Got to clear my mind, mind, mind
# Out of this mundane
# Godforsaken nine to five
waste of my time
# I'm gonna tell the boss, man
# I'm never coming back, back, back... #
Ah, God, I was this close.
You got the injections.
No, no. I'm definitely going.
Just a timing issue.
I mean, to be honest I'd love to go
when I've learned some Arabic.
- In order to go to Yemen.
- Oh, yeah.
Just some conversational Arabic.
- I'd love to learn Arabic.
- Really?
- You want to?
Yes. Alright, this is good.
As soon as we get home,
I'll do some organising.
- Actually...
- Here they are.
- Hey!
- Hello!
# I don't know why
we've never been told
# That the life we're living
it is made from gold
# Work our whole damn lives
just to make it, it's sold
# So boy don't worry
don't worry, don't worry... #
Yes, Bcnny boy!
Yes!
- Here you go.
- Cheers, mate.
Look at that.
- Oh, that's brilliant.
- I'll send it to you.
Thanks.
aren't they?
Outstanding.
I mean, we just... we overthink things
sometimes.
Not me.
Yeah, well... well, me neither.
Oh, and hey, thanks.
Last couple of days, you probably
noticed I haven't really been...
I don't know, my head's
sort of been a little... foggy and...
- Hey, what a trip, huh?
- Yes!
Ah! Yeah.
Hey, look at you!
- Come here.
- Oh, you look great.
- Good to see you, mate.
- Good to see you.
- Wow!
- I know. We're renting.
- Still. Hey!
- Hey!
Uh... please don't open it now.
You'll only pretend to like it.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, God, this place is fantastic.
The only thing missing
is a large concrete ring or...
- That is... art?
- It is art.
- How's Andy?
- He's good.
And how was Queenstown?
Oh, my God, epic. Fantastic.
These sorts of views, but with snow
and more New Zealanders.
- Wine? You guys want some?
- Yes, please.
- Oh, my God. That is nice.
- Yeah.
- Spectacular.
- I know.
Incredible.
Hey, how did you...
Did you get on to Alex?
No, the Skype thing
didn't really work out.
It's actually kind of embarrassing.
There was this problem
with the program... Long story.
But have you written?
Um... no.
I was going to send a postcard.
Then I sort of went, hold on a second,
who sends postcards?
Email? Did you email?
Did I... um, no. I...
No wonder.
Definitely going to.
I just had to find the right time.
- I'm kicking myself...
- You f***ing idiot.
I'm sorry?
Do you ever follow through?
- Hey, chill, Em.
- Oh, I'm chilled.
Cabernet or pinot?
- Both, actually.
OK.
Wow.
- I give up with you.
- Hold on.
- No, I give up.
- Excuse me while I live my life.
Live it exactly the way you want
'cause I'm out.
OK, here we go. That's for you
and I'll just grab the pinot...
No, no. Stay, stay. We were
