0:00:06 > 0:00:09We're having a party this arvo. Maybe you should come?

0:00:09 > 0:00:13- If I'd have known it was your birthday, I would've got you a present.- I want you.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17That is abuse! That is child abuse!

0:00:17 > 0:00:20- Do you think Hector's depressed? - Is that what he tells you?

0:00:20 > 0:00:23I wouldn't buy it personally.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24No. I don't even like him.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29This thing we've been doing, I'm sorry if I've been leading you on, but we've got to stop now.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30Do you understand?

0:01:31 > 0:01:36CONNIE AND HUGO SING

0:02:09 > 0:02:12'Connie hadn't thought of Hector for 12 hours,

0:02:12 > 0:02:16'admittedly eight of which she'd been sleeping.'

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- RICHIE:- Treasure hunt!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Look, Richie!

0:02:33 > 0:02:35'She was disappointed to realise

0:02:35 > 0:02:39'that by celebrating not thinking of Hector,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43'he had somehow crept his way back into her head.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47'Hector... Hector...

0:02:48 > 0:02:50'Hector.'

0:02:59 > 0:03:02HUGO SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY, RICHIE LAUGHS

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Oh, he wants to come to the toilet with me.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Richie!- Yeah, what people do in the toilet is private, remember?

0:03:27 > 0:03:32- No, no, no, I want to come with you! - I'll be back in one second!- No!

0:03:34 > 0:03:35HE SIGHS

0:03:36 > 0:03:38HE GROANS

0:04:13 > 0:04:14- Big dick. - HE LAUGHS

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- What?- Well, did you see it?- No!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Well, look, it's huge!- Stop it!

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Connie, look at it.- Richie... - Look at it!- Be careful.- I'm home.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Mummy!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Hello!- Richie did a poo.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- And I watched, and it stunk. - ROSIE LAUGHS

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- How was it?- Went good.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Ooh, hey.- Hey.- Hi.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Even if you approach someone with a threatening look, that's assault.- Really?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- You have to have intent, too. - It's not what Margaret said.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Your lawyer? - She's the police liaison person.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52God, I wish I could've seen his face when they arrested him.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55By all accounts he wasn't very happy.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- It's unbelievable saying he's not guilty. It happened, didn't it?- Everybody saw it.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02It'll be a huge relief when you finally get a court date.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03Yeah, so true.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05If they ever set a date.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'll be happy for you when this is finally over, Rosie.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11I've got to go.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- I've just made tea. - I'm sorry, but Hector's here.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Oh, hey, love, if you're up to it,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I could really use a hand with the kids on Thursday night.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Are you babysitting again?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Oh, er, yeah, yeah, sorry, sometimes.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I won't put you on the spot. Your study's more important.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- No, I can work while they're asleep. - Thursday OK?

0:05:34 > 0:05:35I'd love to.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- I was beeping.- Oh, sorry, we couldn't hear you.- How did it go?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49She said we definitely had a case.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50Cool.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Thanks for coming with me today. - Of course. Wanted to be there for you. Bye, love.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02God, fuck, she can be so negative.

0:06:04 > 0:06:09- Friends should always be on your side.- He's just a little boy, you know, people seem to forget that.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Did you see it?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I saw Harry's wife handing out lollies to the kids

0:06:17 > 0:06:20and then when Hugo went hypo, her husband slapped him.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Would you say that for me in court?

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- If we don't stand up for Hugo, no-one will.- I guess so.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31You have so much strength.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34You're my lucky charm.

0:06:36 > 0:06:37Huh.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Have breakfast with me.- I can't, I'm late.- I've had a fabulous idea.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32Spill.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Don't go to school today. - Are you sick?

0:07:37 > 0:07:38I told work I have a rash.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43- You couldn't have thought of anything less embarrassing? - We could go shopping.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45What do you think? Girls' day out.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I'm sorry, I'm really behind in history.- Oh.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54I brought you up too well.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- We'll go out tonight?- OK. Don't.

0:07:58 > 0:07:59All right, do.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05- No, you haven't eaten enough. - INDISTINCT COMMENT

0:08:05 > 0:08:07You have to take some of my toast.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- I got some!- No, have some more.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15What are we doing tonight?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I'M hanging out with Tash.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Tomorrow?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'm babysitting.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Who for?- Hector.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28I'm SO coming!

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Hey, fag.- Hey!

0:08:38 > 0:08:40It stinks in here.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42HE SNIFFS

0:08:42 > 0:08:44You reek of cum.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Leave us alone. Don't listen to them, they're pigs.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53- So you coming to my party? - I can't commit, I've go so much on.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55- You'll be there.- I said maybe!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Hey.- You're totally going.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02What you don't understand, Tina, is that I love him,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04emphatically.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06No, I understand, BELIEVE me.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10But unfortunately for me, Jordan still loves Veronica Freckle.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Veronica Freckle!

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Connie Laing, what are you laughing at?- Nothing.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19He's misunderstood,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21which I find totally fuckable, by the way.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Are you going to his party? - Probably not.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- What do you think they're trying to say exactly?- Bitches like this.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35WOMEN SPEAK IN NATIVE TONGUE

0:09:42 > 0:09:44You should come.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's going to be huge. The whole school's going.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48We weren't invited.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, I'm inviting you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22'If her house caught fire,

0:10:22 > 0:10:25'the first thing Connie saved would be these letters.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29'"Dear sister,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32'"I am writing to ask you to take care of my daughter Connie,

0:10:32 > 0:10:34'"who is my life.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41'"but I am hoping for the love and affection that you have shown me,

0:10:41 > 0:10:45'"will also extend to your niece,

0:10:45 > 0:10:47'"my Connie."'

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- How's your rash? - I went to work.- Shame!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Have you got much homework?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01A little.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09I was thinking we could go to the movies. Your choice.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16- We get pork dumplings in Chinatown. - Pork dumplings, highway to my heart!

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Give us a kiss, I'll make us a cup of tea.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20Thank you.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Was your dad a punk?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Sort of. He taught me how to wear eyeliner.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Your parents are really hot.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I have orphan envy.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Oh, I'm trying my hardest to feel sorry for you(!)

0:13:23 > 0:13:26- No, you're not. - SHE GIGGLES

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I, er... I saw Hector at the pool.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34When?

0:13:35 > 0:13:36He's there a lot.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Did you talk to him?

0:13:44 > 0:13:46No!

0:13:46 > 0:13:47I've nothing to say.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, I've got to go.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Why can't I come babysitting? - You're distracting!

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well, I... I won't talk for the whole night, promise.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Well, I've got to study.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16You can come next time, I promise.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Hey.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Hi. Nice car.- Yeah, thanks.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Cool.- I, er didn't see you arrive.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Oh, I walked. - I was busy...tuning my radio.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49I also got the bus so...

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Aish is inside.- Oh, yeah.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Hector! Hector!

0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Oh, where did that man disappear to? - Mum!- Yes, I'm coming.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09He's in the car.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Harry gave it to him, so of course it constantly needs fixing

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- which gives him another reason to come over...- Mum. - Don't tell Rosie that.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- It'll upset her.- Oh.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20You're growing up.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Rosie keeps telling me how supportive you are.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- I'll just change my shirt. - Can you take Connie through dinner?

0:15:27 > 0:15:31I've got to cut the brush out of Melissa's hair. Upstairs. If it keeps happening...

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Now, number's by the phone.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39I have your number already.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Let's see, er...

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Got the spaghetti, er...

0:15:46 > 0:15:49saucepan, water, stove.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Wall, ceiling, tea towel.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00Erm, to use the microwave, you open it here, er...

0:16:01 > 0:16:04and, er, just press start.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- I know how to use a microwave. - OK, so I'm ready.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11So there's no eating on the couch, there's ice-cream

0:16:11 > 0:16:14and fruit for dessert, but they must eat their fruit.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Half hour reading before bed. Lights out at 8:30.- Yep, sure.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- We'll be at Manolis and Koula's, you've got our numbers.- Have fun.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Oh, it's going to be hilarious, isn't it(?)- Bye, Connie.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Keys?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Oh, I thought you had 'em.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41There's something...

0:16:41 > 0:16:43that I need to tell you.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47'I thought it would sort itself out,

0:16:47 > 0:16:50'but you know with Jack's wedding coming up...'

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Can we have our ice-cream?- Ssh! - 'You worry too much, Tobin...'

0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Please? - 'Jack and Jill are ancient history.'

0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Have you eaten your fruit?- No.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00You can have more fruit, but no ice-cream.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03'Yeah, it's not that.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09'I think I'm in love with you...AND Alicia.'

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Dad lets me, it's... - Shut up, Adam!

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- 'Used to be great...' - Give it to me.- Give it back!

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Stop it.- Connie!- Get off. - I have your dad's number right here.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24I can call him, I don't mind, you can ask.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31'..love surfing and skating, but not the same way, you know.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35'I mean, I couldn't live without surfing or skating, or you.'

0:17:36 > 0:17:40How can you be in love with two women at the same time?

0:17:43 > 0:17:44'Oh, but...great, you know.'

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Mum's right, if I don't turn up, we're not taking anyone's side,

0:19:07 > 0:19:10- we'll be neutral again. It's perfect.- You'll be subpoenaed!

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- No, they won't, they'll fine me and Harry can pay the fine.- It...

0:19:13 > 0:19:17It's not school or church or detention, Hector, it's court.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21You saw what you saw, that's all you have to say.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Not if I'm not there!

0:19:23 > 0:19:26You always do exactly what your mother tells you to do.

0:19:26 > 0:19:27It's so infuriating.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31They're old, you could be easier on them.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Your mother will outlive us all.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39They worry about what this whole thing has done to our family, OK?

0:19:39 > 0:19:43What about me, my family? Rosie is my oldest friend.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46You need to stop encouraging your friend to be a victim.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50- What?!- You said everything always goes wrong for Rosie, she's a magnet for bad luck.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54- I've never said that! - If you were truly her friend, you'd tell her to move on.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Sorry, sweetheart, things took a little longer than expected.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Are you OK? - Yeah, it's fine, I don't mind.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Hector's going to drive you home - I've got a bit of a migraine.- OK.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Yeah, well... the whole thing's consumed them.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's a terrible thing that happened to Hugo.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Harry had no right to slap him. - You think?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Isn't that what you think?

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Yeah.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Harry should never have slapped Hugo,

0:26:50 > 0:26:53but he needs discipline.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55He was out of control that day.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Harry's got a dangerous temper.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03But he apologised and I think that, you know,

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Rosie and Gary should've accepted it for Hugo's sake.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09No-one's behaved very well in any of this.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- DOG BARKS - Got to be careful with the penicillin.- I'm sorry!

0:27:12 > 0:27:16- It stings, huh?- I'm usually fine, I...

0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Did you get any?- No.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21OK, well, now I'll hold him for you.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Give you another one.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27- DOG WHINES - There you go.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31Right? You ready?

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Connie?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Oh, sorry.- You OK? - Yeah, I...- You OK?

0:27:43 > 0:27:44- Yeah.- What's wrong?

0:27:48 > 0:27:50It's nothing, erm...

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Do you want to talk?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04I'm fine, it's fine.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06You know you're wonderful.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08I appreciate everything you do here.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25BEEPING AS SHE ENTER NUMBER ON PHONE

0:28:28 > 0:28:30DIALLING TONE

0:28:36 > 0:28:39'You've called Hector Sossidis, can't take your call right...'

0:28:43 > 0:28:48- You walk around with your blouse undone to your navel.- I believe in baby-led weaning, Richie.

0:28:48 > 0:28:53- He's not a baby, Rosie, he's a boy! - I'm waiting for him to wean himself. Don't offer, don't refuse,

0:28:53 > 0:28:55- And you don't wear a bra.- OK.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59- I thought you'd be at parenting class already.- Hey, Connie.

0:28:59 > 0:29:03- We're late, can you hurry up?- How is he supposed to wean himself off it

0:29:03 > 0:29:09- when he's got his breakfast boobies dangling in his face all day?- It's perfectly natural to breastfeed.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13- It's not.- It's just our fucked-up Western culture that puts prohibitions on women.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16He will give up when he wants to. All right?

0:29:16 > 0:29:18- And I've got a bra. - A- bra.- I've got a bra.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22- A bra.- I've got a bra. - They're making breastfeeding compulsory, it was on the news.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24- See?- You know what it's like?

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Like following me around with a bowl of butter chicken.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29There's only so much a man can refuse.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- You'd do well to refuse a lot of things.- All right, OK.

0:29:32 > 0:29:36- I'll give up drinking when Hugo gives up drinking, how about that? - Oh, sure, yeah!

0:29:38 > 0:29:40What do you reckon, Richie?

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Must have an opinion on the matter?

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Oh...I like butter chicken.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50- See?- Get in the car... - Everyone likes butter chicken.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54- ..I'll be waiting for you. - We all love butter chicken!

0:30:25 > 0:30:29Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

0:30:29 > 0:30:31- What happened?!- Help me!

0:30:33 > 0:30:35I think this might be...

0:30:36 > 0:30:39- They're all stuck together! - Well, what were you doing?

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Nothing. It just fell out and now I've lost one.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- How can you tell? - Doesn't matter, just help me.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Aah!

0:30:46 > 0:30:47Aah!

0:30:47 > 0:30:50SO bored!

0:30:50 > 0:30:52- I hate my life.- You do not.

0:30:52 > 0:30:57- I love you, though, come here. - Ew! Get off.- Everyone's so boring.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59I'm so depressed, nothing ever happens.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Veronica thinks something's going to happen. She is going to kill you.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Why?

0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Did you sleep with Jordan?! - She's his mistress.- Oh!

0:31:08 > 0:31:10THEY GIGGLE

0:31:11 > 0:31:14I'd like to own a little piggy named Veronica Brentnall. Fatty!

0:31:14 > 0:31:17THEY SNORT AND LAUGH

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Meant to be studying together and all he kept talking about was Veronica!

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Piggy Veronica!

0:31:23 > 0:31:26He was so sad and he was so sweet, you know, I just had to fuck him.

0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Oh, you're so supportive(!)- You know you have to come to his party.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Please?- Ah, I'm...- Connie, please, I need you to be there!

0:31:34 > 0:31:36I need back-up, please?

0:31:37 > 0:31:39- All right.- You want any?

0:31:39 > 0:31:44- My brother's getting some for us. - How much?- 25. Yeah!

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Thank you.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Seven, 7.50, seven, seven, 7.90.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- I'll give you 40 cents at school tomorrow.- Oh, whoa, I said 25.

0:31:59 > 0:32:04- But I only want a third. - I don't want your shit change! - Why should I pay for a full one,

0:32:04 > 0:32:06when you know I'm going to fall asleep?

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- She does always fall asleep. - Shut up!- Yes, you do!

0:32:09 > 0:32:13My dad said it works better if you stick it up your bum.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Your dad sticks his up his bum?

0:32:15 > 0:32:19He said you've got to stick your finger up, then up and over and onto the shelf.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Ooh!- Oh, my God.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Connie!- Ewww, that is so gross. - Hi, Melissa.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Dad, Dad, look!- ..And you've got to do all your homework, mate.- Dad!

0:32:29 > 0:32:30I'll just be a second.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38- Connie, hi.- Hi.- How are you?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Good. Busy.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Good.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Yeah, yeah, I'm busy, too.

0:32:47 > 0:32:48I thought you must be.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54- How's the car?- Yeah, good...

0:32:54 > 0:32:56yeah, yeah, nothing to report.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Not today, anyway.- Connie, come meet Tina's new boyfriend!

0:33:02 > 0:33:05We better go - ice-cream.

0:33:05 > 0:33:06S-sorry.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Bye, Connie.- Bye, kids.- Bye. - Bye.- Bye.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Oh, erm, sorry.

0:35:38 > 0:35:39Why?

0:35:41 > 0:35:43I don't know, sorry.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50People break up for a lot of different reasons.

0:35:50 > 0:35:51Uh...

0:36:01 > 0:36:04So are you seeing anyone at the moment, Connie?

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Not at the moment.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- to be going out with you tonight. - Champagne fixes everything!

0:36:39 > 0:36:42The last person I want to be around is Hector. We had another fight.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53That'll make things interesting!

0:36:53 > 0:36:59- Hector's known about it and he didn't even say anything.- Cos he knew you'd say no fucking way!

0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Which is exactly what I said.- Good. - Are you out tonight, Connie?

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Yeah, I'm going to a party with my friends.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Oh, to be 17 again!

0:37:06 > 0:37:10- We were so naughty at your age. - We haven't changed that much.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12- You haven't.- Huh.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14Well, a party sounds like fun.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Yeah, hopefully. Enjoy the champagne. - Thank you.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Hey, Aish.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30- You go, I'll lock up. - Really?- Yeah, she's right.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39- It didn't look like it would suit me. - It's perfect.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Do you think Dad would've liked it? - I know he did.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48I made it for your mother.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52Your mum and dad would love to know you right now, Connie.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55They'd be so proud of who you are.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Want to wear them tonight for luck.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52It's not what I meant.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55You're 17, Connie.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57I'm 40.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03have you thought about how this works? I mean, are we...

0:41:03 > 0:41:08going to hang out at the mall with your friends? Do I come by and pick you up at school?

0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Don't patronise me. - What about Aisha?

0:41:16 > 0:41:18I want you.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21I'm not the one you're looking for.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24- I think I love you.- Stop it!

0:41:26 > 0:41:28I can't think of anything else.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32I...do...not...love...you, Connie.

0:41:34 > 0:41:35I will never love you.
