Hi, hi, hi, hi. I just got home. I'm having a cup of tea before bed and I thought I'd call.

The bus ride was like almost an hour, so well not an hour but like 50 minutes. 45 maybe.

Fine okay, it's a half hour bus ride, but I get bored you know, so I spent the ride imagining I was talking to you and then well I really wanted to talk to you.

Episode 9 May 1997. I'm sorry about that pub. If you didn't like it, like I get it, it's a bit of a dingy one. Never quite sure that you're getting a clean glass.

But the music's always so good and isn't it better to be in a slightly horrible pub listening to something great than in some pristine state of the art,

be a muff listening to rubbish? But I'm so sorry about your jacket. I don't know what was all over that wall you've been dumped but I'm sure it'll come out in the wash or dry clean.

Hopefully. You're probably already in bed. Shurried and fed and tipped up the sleep. Anyway, thank you for coming to the ship pub just because I wanted to go there.

I'm sure you would have rather gone, I don't know, for cocktails at the Savoy or something. Only I feel like I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe for something like that.

Like they take one look at me as I am and close up shop. But being go there, if you want, that second of place you think we should be going.

I don't want you to not tell me you want to go to the Savoy for cocktails just because you think that I don't want to go there. Just I might need to borrow a dress or something.

Don't think they'd be into my dot martins and denim shorts. Oh, and I'm sorry about Chen Wai. I didn't know she'd be there and I didn't know.

Look, you don't need to worry about her and me or anything like that. It's just there. There's some history there a little bit.

You know what the thing just like. I mean, you don't know what it's like. It can just get, I don't know, charged the energy you get sometimes.

Like connection you feel to each other. It's a lot sometimes. You become close like family really family, but then there's this energy.

But nothing's going on there. Not anymore. And when it was, it was nothing really just a fling just release, you know.

I guess that sort of thing always complicates things. So Chen Wai is complicated. She's really great though. I think if you'd met her any other night, you would have really gone.

She's so much fun. On any other night, she would have been so much fun. Well, I'm sorry.

And you see, maybe we should go through this avoid. One of your former lovers can get confrontation with me and then we'll be even.

Anyway, I hope you had an okay time apart from the dark and the ruined jacket and the argument with Chen Wai. Good night, Nan. I hope the jacket's not ruined.

Hey, Liv. Have you talked to Chen Wai recently? I thought things were cool there, but there was a god-uson bar sang.

I took Nan to the goat snappers, which I know she looks like she wouldn't be into that kind of place, but she totally is. She just looks like that for work.

But she doesn't look like the sort of person who goes to pubs like the goat snappers, but underneath that, she's chill as hell. Like, she did dress a little too. I mean, she wore a sweat jacket that I think was new, which got a terrible stain.
