I don't know. That's not

how it feels. It just...

I don't know.

It just feels weird...

sometimes.

Well, would it be easier

if you felt like...

you could see other people...

when we're not together?

Is that what you want to do?

Then why would you bring it up?

Because...

I don't want you to feel like...

you're not

living your life properly...

when we're not together.

Are you attracted to other people?

- No, I'm not attracted to other people.

- Why did you have to think about that?

Because it's a silly question.

No, it's obviously

not a silly question

if you have to think about it.

I don't mean it like that.

I don't mean...

that I'm attracted to other people.

I just mean it's hard

to keep stopping and starting.

And I'm sorry about

my dad mentioning stuff

that obviously

disturbs you in some way.

[soft piano music]

[man over P.A.]

This is a Piccadilly line service

to Heathrow terminals

one, two, three and five.

[soft, indistinct chatter]

[soft music continues]

[man on P.A., indistinct]

[woman] Do you want

your jeans ironed?

[Jacob] Hmm?

[woman] Your jeans.

Do you want me to iron them?

Uh... sure.

[telephone rings]

Jacob Helm.

This is Samantha.

Hi, how are you?

No. No later than three weeks.

OK. All right.

Just let me know.

OK, bye.

Did they say they could

do it in three weeks?

Yeah.

- Well, they always do.

- I know.

- Oh, hi, Anna.

- Hey.

You fancy a cup of tea?

Yeah. OK.

I actually might stop off

and go to Topshop after work.

Oh, yes.

- Do you want to come with?

- Oh, yes, let's, let's.

So I read your thing.

It's good.

So who is this person?

Um... it's...

it's someone that is...

is very close to me.

And, um,

he's been quite an

inspiration in my life,

and I almost...

Through my writing, I wanted to, um...

give something back.

Yeah. When I was reading it,

it made me think about the fact that

when... when I was...

I was working in New York at Nylon mag,

and my husband was in Los Angeles

so he was driving across country.

So on the way over, he would take all

these pictures of himself and the dog

at various places.

So I sent photos of me.

And then we put them all together, and

they were like this moment in time.

Being separate, but yet we were

together in these photographs.

Well, I was going to say that it's a way

of even kind of keeping you together.

- Connecting.

- Yeah.

Now, there's the challenge.

Yeah, it's hard.

It made me miss him more.

So, um...

you know we have this blog.

I would like you

to take over the blog

and start writing for the magazine.

Wow, uh... That's great.

- Yeah, that would be...

- We need a really nice young voice,

and I think that you are that.

- I don't feel very young.

- Well, you are.

No, I would...

it would be a privilege.

Good.

- Yellow, red, maybe an orange.

[telephone rings]

Some different shades of orange.

Whatever kind of orange you think.

Hey, Anna, could you get the phone?

Jacob Helm. This is Samantha.

If I tried...

if I tried orange...

- Thank you.

- ...It doesn't have to stay on.

As long as they don't

put a veneer on it.

If she likes that and

you like that, great.

Are you mad at me

for some reason?

What? No.

You sure?

Yes. Why would I be mad?

What happened earlier today

didn't upset you?

It was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

[whispers] It's all right.

[kisses] [laughs]

- Are we gonna go out tonight?

- Yes. Do you want to?

- Yeah.

- Good.

[Figurine:
"impossible"]

[people chattering]

[people cheering]

[music continues]

Hey, I'm gonna go

to the bathroom, OK?

- Anna, I...

- I just have to say one thing,

and it's really important

that you just listen to me.

I just... It doesn't feel like

this thing is going to go away.

It's always there. I can't...

- I can't get on with my life.

- We agreed.

I know, Jacob, but the things

that we have with each other,

I don't have with any other person.

With any other human being

apart from you.

We should be with each other.

And I feel it so strongly.

And I feel like... it's right

for us to get married...

That's our only option now.

I don't want to have regrets about us.

And we can make this work

if we do that.

I spoke to Harry, and he said

it'll only take six months,

and then I can come back.

And then we can be together.

So will you just

think about it for us?

Just come for a few days,

and then we can make this work.

[soft piano music]

I know you talked to her.

[whispers] Yeah.

[whispers] Yeah.

Come here.

Sam...

You're such a nice,

giving, caring human being.

And...

it's not fair for you to have to...

experience things...

and be with someone

that isn't fully there for you.

And I'm sorry,

because I have to go to London.

I'm so sorry, Sam.

I love you.

[whispers] OK.

I'm sorry, Sam.

Yeah.

[sniffles]

[man] I do solemnly declare...

[Jacob] I do solemnly declare...

[man] ...that I know not

of any lawful impediment...

[Jacob] ...that I know not

of any lawful impediment...

[man]

...why I, Jacob Matthew Helm...

why I, Jacob Matthew Helm...

may not be joined in matrimony...

- ...may not be joined in matrimony...

to Anna Maria Gardner.

- ...to Anna Maria Gardner.

[man] They now wish

to affirm publicly

their relationship

and to offer each other

the security that

comes from vows sincerely made.

Jacob, place the ring on Anna's finger.

- I give you this ring...

[Jacob] I give you this ring...

[man] ...as a token of my love

and affection.

[Anna] As a token

of my love and affection.

[both giggling]

[man] And, remembering this day,

never allow anything...

And, remembering this day,

never allow anything...

[man] ...to destroy the feeling

that we share for each other.

To destroy the feeling

that we share for each other.

Wear it with a feeling

of love and joy...

Always.

[man] You have made a solemn

and binding contract with each other

here in the presence

of your witnesses this morning.

It gives me great pleasure to tell you

that you are now husband and wife.

[applause] [Bernard] Yay!

[man] You'll need the witnesses.

[man, indistinct]

- Be careful.

[all laugh]

[Anna laughs]

I''S huge!

[both laughing]

I should have grabbed glasses.

- I'm an idiot.

- No!

- Should we just drink it that way?

- Hm-hm.

That's very classy.

[laughs]

[squeals]

[object clatters] [both] Ohh!

[electronic music]

[Fool's Gold:
"Surprise Hotel"]

[rock music]

[The Tallest Man on Earth:

"The Wild Hunt"]

[soft piano music]

We have to wait... patiently.

For six months.

[Anna] I hate six months.

It's all gonna be OK.

Six months.

[Soft piano music continues]

[man over P.A., indistinct]

Oh, you're killing me.

All right.

[soft piano music]

[soft music continues]

[kissing sounds]

[woman] All right.

Jacob and... is it Anna?

- Anna.

[woman] Anna.

I see a lot of good

documentation here,

and I have looked

through some of it.

Sorry, I forgot to... They're...

[woman] Books?

- ...just books and a record
