Any Questions for Ben? Page #8

just talking about the view.

- It's a cracker, eh?

- You can see to the clock tower.

- You alright?

- Yeah, sorry, I'm just...

- Couldn't come fast enough.

- Good drop.

- You can really taste '03.

- Yeah!

That logo has come up well.

This is Summer.

Some adjustments still to be made.

I think that's terrific.

Mock-ups from the agency.

Not entirely happy with them.

But we're close.

And here, some retro bags.

Always my favourite things.

So nice to see them back again.

It's confident, it's authentic.

A few adjustments,

small adjustments to be made.

Well done, mate.

It's really come together.

Thanks, Ken.

- It has.

- Thanks, Malcolm.

- Just a second.

- OK.

- If you were to stay...

- Malcolm.

I'm seeing New Zealand, Asia.

With you on the team, and Ken...

I'm not sure how much longer...

Have you been to Auckland?

I don't want to leave you in the lurch.

You haven't made a firm decision?

Fine, let's not talk about it now.

Just enjoy this.

- OK.

- Plenty of time.

I've booked the boat again,

did I tell you?

# Come on

# Get your silk suits on,

get your silk suits on

# Ain't nobody else

that's got it goin' on

# Get your silk suits on

get your silk suits on

# I love it baby when

you got your silk suits on... #

- Hey.

- Hey, how are ya?

Good, good. Em?

Ben. We're good.

- OK, good. You look beautiful.

- So do you. Nice suit.

- This is...

- Thank you very much.

Is that Andy's new girlfriend?

Yeah, that's Cohali.

Swimsuit model, apparently.

She's come straight from work.

- Shall we check out the races?

- They got races here?

That would explain the smell of horses.

Hello, Ben. Nick. Emily.

- John!

- Jim.

Jim, Jim. Sorry. Good to see you.

- Have you had a flutter?

- No, I'm pre-flutter.

And have the bookies taken advantage

of you yet, Emily?

Not yet. I was going to go

and place a bet on now.

Allow me to escort you.

I was just about to do the same.

I have a tip on a filly.

What's the Archer doing here?

I don't know. I think Em had

some spare tickets or something.

He's been keeping in touch

after that school thing.

He's been around for lunch, actually.

Pretty nice guy.

What?

Huh? Oh, Alex is here.

Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

I didn't know she was going to be here.

It's a last-minute thing.

- I didn't know she was in town.

- They came early for the wedding.

- What wedding?

- Our wedding.

- Right, of course. Sorry.

- It's alright.

- Brain freeze.

- That's cool.

She and her boyfriend

are spending a couple of weeks

holidaying on the reef.

He's a... diver.

Ben, I thought that you guys...

I've been an idiot.

Um, that kind of makes it tricky now,

Ben.

How bad is it?

Works for Mdecins Sans Frontires,

speaks fivc languages.

D*ckhead?

- No.

- No.

He's quite thoughtful, apparently.

Great. Excellent.

God, this is about to get worse.

Get this, Alex's boyfriend bobsledded

for Denmark.

That's something we gotta do.

Let's get a drink.

- Hey!

- Thanks.

That's how we've decided it.

Beautiful choice.

Excuse me.

Sparkling.

Uh, hey.

Hi! How are you?

Good, I'm really good.

It's so nice to see you.

- It's nice to see you.

- Yeah.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

No.

Straight off the bat,

I'm just gonna say it.

- I'm sorry I didn't...

- Don't even mention it.

- I really looked into it.

- I never thought it would happen.

- I almost made it happen.

- It was nice of you to try.

My folks won't even come. So...

Thanks.

Uh, so how are you?

You look... you look amazing, Alex.

You really do.

- Thank you.

- I see you have a new addition.

Yes, yes. Nils.

I was coming out for the wedding

and he had holidays

so he said he'd come.

He actually followed through.

Not like he's coming

to a terrorist haven.

You don't need yellow fever injections

to come to Melbourne.

- I did get them. Small point.

- Brave of you.

- Anyway, you were saying?

- What's happening with you?

- Nothing. Same old.

- Her name's Kelly.

- OK.

- Not going out or anything.

- Is she here today?

- Yes. Vight be hard to find her.

- There she is. Kelly.

- Oh...

Look at her.

Anyway, met at a launch

couple of weeks back.

- Like I said, pretty casual.

- I'm happy for you.

Thank you. Same.

Oh, Ben, this is Nils.

Director of Emergency Medical Aid,

North Africa.

- Pleased to meet you.

- And this is Kelly.

- Face of harness racing.

- That's where I know you from.

The billboard on the way

to the airport. It's you!

So they wanted me to pose riding

a horse, but it was too dangerous.

So I said, get a shot holding a saddle.

And they said, 'This is harness racing,

we don't have saddles. '

Ah!

- I was so embarrassed.

- Should we...

But it didn't matter

because the shots were great.

At first it was meant

for 'in-house' publicity

but apparently they liked it so much

that I ended up on the front cover

of the magazine.

That's awesome!

God, I'm going on about myself again.

No, no. Just a little bit. But...

Not at all. Please, continue.

No, what about you, Nils?

What do you get up to in Denmark?

- I'm more into alpine sports.

- Oh, you ski?

A little.

- You're being humble, come on.

- I've been fortunate.

You bobsledded at the Olympics,

just say it. It's a great achievement.

You're like the only guy here

who hasn't been to the Olympics.

That is so funny.

He was a very good cricketer.

Kelly, can I get you

with your boyfriend?

- Is that your boyfriend?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- That's fine. Is this the Olympian?

- They both are.

OK, let's just get you four.

That's good.

If you do what he...

just something similar.

OK, would you like to turn around?

That's good. Just... yeah.

Good. Ah, here we go.

That's OK, that's fine.

- Sorry, no, it's just the...

- Perfect, thank you.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

I'd just like to say, thank you

for making me feel so welcome.

I look forward to come back

many times.

Yeah!

You can stay with us!

- Should we just kick on?

Yes!

We could show Nils

some of the bars.

I might actually pull the pin.

No!

- Yeah, yeah.

No, I'm sort of a bit beat

from the week.

Come on, you'll be fine.

Come on, Ben, I'm up for fun.

No, you go. Go, honestly. Seriously, go.

If I get a second wind,

I'll meet up with you.

- Alright, alright.

- But honestly, enjoy.

- Go on, really.

- OK.

Hey, how long are you in town till?

Till Wednesday and then

we come back for the wedding.

Perfect. That's awesome.

I'll be in touch.

Sure.

- Sure you won't come?

- Oh, no. It's been a crazy week.

- Come on.

- No, really.

- You just...

- I said no, Nils, sorry.

I'm just so tired. About to crash.

OK. Enjoy, have fun.

- Nice to meet you.

- Thank you. You too...

...Nils.

- Hey.

- Sorry, I tried to be quiet.

Don't know what woke me up.

- How did you end up?

- Good.

- Good.

- Cohali had to head home.

Fair enough. And Nils?

Keep playing Mr Cool all night, did he?

No, he didn't.

I just meant with the whole,

'I only went to one Olympics' thing.
