- You must be so excited.

- No, it's, um...

It's great.

I knew it

would come through eventually.

Yeah, I'm, um...

I'm very excited, uh...

I didn't think

this was gonna happen.

I know. These things

are very unpredictable,

- but you just have to keep pushing.

- Yeah.

Yeah, um, well, thank you.

Thank you for all your work.

Oh, God, please, don't mention it.

I'd do anything for your parents.

Should I give them a ring

and let them know?

OK. No, I would...

I will call them.

- All right. They'll be really excited.

- Yes, they'll be very excited...

- Very excited.

- OK, congratulate Jacob,

and we'll talk soon.

OK, thank you again, um...

for everything.

[Simon] Go forward, my countess.

- Forward, forward.

- Spin around 15 times.

- Are you gonna make me spin around?

- Just joking.

- Ow!

Just joking!

- Where am I going?

- Outer space.

- What's that?

- Ooh. Oh!

Bingo! Sit down.

Oh, wow.

That's... very stylish!

Where'd you put the other one?

It's in the closet.

- I'm glad you're happy.

- Yeah, it's lovely. Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Ah. Meh.

- Cheers.

- Cheers to your promotion.

- To your promotion.

- Jolly good.

- Thank you, guys.

[mother] It's so wonderful!

You haven't touched your wine.

Would you like some other wine?

Could I get a whiskey?

Do you have any?

No, we haven't got any whiskey.

[Bernard] What?!

[Anna] No. We're cutting down.

We've cut down so much.

In London,

you can just be

drinking all the time.

- Yes.

- Bernard.

[Bernard] What?

- New rules.

[Bernard] New rules? Why'?

[mother] New rules'?

[Anna] New Simon house rules.

- Clamping down, clamping down.

- He's clamping down on my drinking.

- Place is on lockdown.

[Anna] It's good.

[Simon] Yeah, it's bad for your skin.

[Bernard] It is?

[Anna] I am on a very tough,

- Simon-designed fitness regime.

[Simon] Yeah, it's called Simon Says.

- Oh.

[Simon] Simon Says...

Yeah, we have her up at 6:30 now.

- Every morning, running.

- No.

For the last two weeks.

- Every morning?

[mother] That's what it is!

You're glowing.

I have to say, you do...

- You do look different.

- Even more than usual.

[mother] You're the first person

that has ever

- got Anna to do any exercise.

[Simon] Really?

I thought it was the new promotion,

but all right.

[mother] I thought it was

the promotion, too.

[Simon] But she has a very...

She has a very healthy breakfast.

A bit of oats

and some egg whites in there.

- You have changed.

- A sprinkle of cinnamon, no sugar.

- You have changed!

- If you want to lose weight, no sugar.

That would be it. Everything's moving in

the right direction. I'm really happy.

- This is delicious.

[Anna] It's good, isn't it?

It's very, very good.

[mother] Are we going

to play Balderdash?

- Oh, yes!

- That'll keep us going.

- Actually, the night is young.

- Yeah, we can play Balderdash.

[Bernard] Oh, lovely!

- But just before, um...

I just want to say

thank you for coming over.

- It's been a really special evening.

[Anna] Thanks for coming.

[mother] Thanks to you for

inviting us, my goodness!

I just...

You know, I like to think of life

as a bit of a puzzle.

- A jigsaw.

- Oh, no. He's going to make a speech.

Just stick with me on this.

And, um, for the longest time

there was always one piece missing.

A big piece in the middle.

And I looked around forever.

And I just couldn't find it.

So, um, along comes Anna.

And can I just

commend you two on producing

such a wonderful young woman?

She's pretty exceptional.

I mean, we've only been

together, what, six months?

But I've known

her almost three years,

and she just fit this... puzzle.

[chuckles]

The picture was,

from my angle, complete.

You're beautiful, driven, intelligent.

I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

Listen, I know there's a lot of

things to be worked out here.

I know that there's issues

that need to be ironed out.

But it's very important to me that you

know how much I love your daughter.

Darling, that's really sweet.

I think, um...

[laughs nervously]

- Yeah, maybe, um...

[Bernard] I'll get my jacket.

- Yes, and my handbag, darling?

- Absolutely. Of course.

[mother] It's late, we have to be going.

[Bernard] Got to get up early

for work anyway.

[mother] Yeah, it's been...

lovely.

[Bernard] Absolutely.

[men speaking, indistinct]

[sighs]

[soft piano music]

Well then, good night.

It was a pleasure.

- Take care.

- Good night, Dad.

All right. Come on, let's go.

Well... there you go.

Thank you.

[door opens, closes]

- And send Jacob our love.

- I will.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye, angel.

- Hello!

- Hey.

- Hello. Oh, no!

- These are for you.

Thank you. Oh, they're lovely.

- How was your flight?

- It was good, yeah. Long.

Are you tired?

Uh... a bit.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

[man on P.A., indistinct]

[Paul Simon:

"Crazy Love, Vol. ll"]

- Wow.

- Here it is.

- Wow!

- Yeah.

- Should we put them in water?

- Yeah, let me do that.

[water running]

[Anna grunts] "[Jacob] What?"

Nothing.

Maybe we could have...

a drink to celebrate.

Great.

God, I haven't drank for ages.

- Really?

- Well, not this.

What have you been drinking?

Laphroaig.

Uh, trying to be healthy.

Not drink so much.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

[inhales]

I'm gonna grab your luggage, OK?

[sighs]

There's a market research

assistant post.

Mmm...

Well, it doesn't look that cool.

What about something under magazine?

Ls there anything in that?

[Anna] That's good.

- I'm just, you know, sketching.

- I think I might have a shower.

- OK.

I'll take one with you.

- OK?

- OK.

- This is cold.

- Is it?

There we go, that's good.

Mm. That's nice.
