Kate Walker I had a lovely time, Harvey, and I like you - I really do. But you know, I don't really do fountains at noon either. I mean, I live in - Well, I live in Wilton Greens, and you live wherever you...

Harvey Shine I live in White Plains.

Kate Walker Exactly. And Monday morning, life kicks in, and we're not teenagers. Got a life and our jobs and our family and everything, and I had a lovely time. I won't forget it. Thank you. But...

Harvey Shine What?

Kate Walker Well, it's not, you know, real life.

Harvey Shine It is.

Kate Walker No, it isn't, Harvey.

Harvey Shine It is.

Kate Walker No, it's not, Harvey.

Harvey Shine No, it is real life. It's real life for me.

Kate Walker No, no. I know. I know. But it's not just about you, is it? It's about me, as well. You don't know anything about me. Look at me. I mean, it's pathetic. I actually expected you not to show. In fact, I think I actually almost wanted you not to show because it's just sort of easier that way. You know, you just dive in there. You just whoosh anywhere. It's the deep end and I'm not a bloody swimming pool, Harvey, and I'm not - I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it because it'll hurt. Sometime or other there'll be, you know, it's not working, or I need my space, or whatever it is and it will end, and it will hurt, and I won't do it. I won't do it, and I won't...

Harvey Shine I have to tell you that it is a relief to find someone who actually says what they're feeling and what they're thinking. Especially in a place that is supposed to be, you know, Britian. English, reserved.

Kate Walker Oh, no, no. Haven't you heard? We're a nation changed. Ever since Diana died, we're all sort of flowing out of us like water. You guys showed us the way, actually. No more stiff upper lip for us.

Harvey Shine And what is that, exactly?

Kate Walker What?

Harvey Shine Stiff upper lip.

Kate Walker I'm not sure, it's kind of the whole clenched thing.

[makes face]

Harvey Shine Clenched?

[makes face too]

Kate Walker I think so, you know. See, you know, when you cry, your lips wobble and when you're being strong, they don't.

Harvey Shine Like this.

[making face]

Kate Walker No, that's sort of more like a bulldog. No, don't do that. You look like you've got no teeth at all.

Harvey Shine It's my first attempt at a stiff upper lip. Who does...

Kate Walker I don't really kn - I think it's sort of the tension in your jaw.
