You f***ing little whore.

You f***ing little b*tch.

Hi.

OK, I'm coming.

Excuse me.

It's OK, I'm here.

Hello, Lucy.

Take your top off.

I love drinking.

I'm really good at it.

When did you last see him?

About 3 or 4 months ago.

Took him out to dinner.

He was wearing your old suit,

I think. The gray one.

I haven't seen the Birdmann in...

Well, when was the last time

I saw you?

A year?

They say it was 2 weeks before

his brother found him.

Will you marry me?

What?

Why?

I mean...

Why now?

You had your chance.

Go on.

F*** you.

F*** you to death.

That's one way to put it.

I'm with Helen now.

I can't believe you.

I don't believe you.

You don't believe you.

F*** it.

Helen is courteous.

You should try it sometime.

Courtesy.

Courtesy.

You'll be safe here.

There's no shame.

No one can see you.

Thank you, Clara.

I do ask that there?ll

be no penetration.

I also ask that you take care

not to leave any marks.

Thank you.

We do fire people here, you know?

Well?

All right, you're fired.

Thank you.

Excuse me?

Hello, excuse me?

Hi. Can I get some help?

What do you think of this one?

Yeah, not bad.

OK, I'll take it then.

Cool. Up here.

OK. Let's get going.

We pick up with black 129,

making a bold move to attack his triangle.

It's an impressive move,

unexpected.

And then, what does the

master do?

He counter attacks, with white

White 130?

Why did he do that?

After 27 long minutes of deliberation...

why did the master play a move,

that would result in his own defeat?

Are you gonna come to the party?

I can't. Have a big day tomorrow.

-How big?

-I'm sleeping.

What?

Live a little. Just a little.

-What is it?

-I don't know.

But it's something good for you.

Why not?

There you go.

Back from the dead.

Fear of death is the number 1 hoax.

Lucy, turn it off.

Hello?

Yeah. In 2 minutes. OK.

You need to get some blinds.

F***ing hell.

Lucy.

Come back inside.

-You're sure?

-She's fine.

Can you pull over?

Pull over!

-Hello, darling.

-Hi.

-Are you well?

-Fine, thank you.

-You sure?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

A shower always works wonders.

I'd like to ask a favor.

I need to see what goes on in there.

Just once.

I understand. Believe me, I do.

But my clients...

How can I expose them,

to be frank, to blackmail?

Just once.

That's not the way that

we do things.

-Please, Clara.

-I'm sorry.

And I can assume you're quite well?

Perfectly fine, thank you.

And you're in good health?

Yes.

Good girl.

Thank you, Clara.

Are you sure?

Thank you.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.
