A line from Ben Calder

Okay, all right! Because I'm jealous as hell. Because I'd hate to see you with Gus Gus. I'd hate to see you with any other man. Because not only did I adore kissing you in Venice, but also because I'm so un-bloody-hinged just being near you/

I'm on fire! I'm untouchable! I'm Anna! Who are you?

Ben Calder

Ben Calder, freelance getaway man. Yeah, need the hand, need the hand.

As soon as this train stops, we're going to go our separate directions.

Hey, chilly-willy, Squabblers, take a few of these on your solo travels then.

Ben Calder

What are these? Six-Million-Dollar Man stickers?

These stickers are my contribution to the global community. Everyone I meet gets a handful. Your job: post them up! Pound one on a door, slap one on a kiosk, place one on a postbox, wherever your life may lead you.

And then what?

Then, nothing. You forget about the sticker, you move on. One day, maybe you're a little down in the dregs, and all of a sudden, there it is! The corner of a window, the door of a subway, the side of a telephone booth, one of the stickers. And it puts a smile of your face because you know you are not alone in the world; we're all connected.

You have a little thing for me, huh?

Ben Calder

I'll stop you there. I do not have a thing for you, okay, little or otherwise.

Why did you get on the train with me to Berlin, then? [pause] Mm-hmm.

Ben Calder

Okay, you know what, you're right. I'm strangely attracted to exhibitionist runaways. It's an addiction, really. I was in a program for a while where we had to spend time with fully-clothed home-bodies, but I've relapsed, again.

Ben Calder

So if you're scared, why do it?

Because the things you're scared of are usually the most worthwhile.
