What is it?

I got that antiseptic for the sheep.

- I'm pleased you're helping the sheep.

Why did you just leave?

You shouldn't have come. I'm not the answer.

Yeah. I know.

And I've come all this way up here,

on a coach and everything.

And I want you to come back.

With me.

And I want us to be together.

I don't want to be a f***-up anymore.

No, leave me. I'm fine.

I want to be with you.

And that's what I needed to say.

You're a freak.

So are you.

F*ggot.

F*** off...

...f*ggot.
