That’s your own experience, is it?

Oh, no, no, no, that’s observation.

Don’t forget, I’m a novelist.

I observe people.

What I’m getting at is you won’t be able to give her what she wants.

So she’s gonna leave you, come back to me.

I don’t want her near me.That’s the last thing I want.

Anyway, I’ve got this lovely mistress.She runs a sauna in Swindon.

She’s my girl.

So you see, I want Maggie to stay with you.

I want you two to be together forever.

But unless you listen to me...

...the whole thing will be a fucking disaster...

...with catastrophic consequences all round.

But I have a solution.

You won’t believe what I’m gonna say.

What are you gonna say?

I’m all ears.

You know something?

I’m beginning to respond to your charm.

Get away.No, it’s true.

I’m really touched.You should be.

Tell me, I bet you didn’t expect me to be so intelligent.

Oh, I did.

So quick witted, did you?

Quite.

Maggie told you, did she?

What’s your solution?

It’s a close fit, isn’t it?

For two.
