Spike

Just going to the kitchen to get some food, then I'm going to tell you a story that will make your balls shrink to the size of raisins.

Spike

I knew a girl at school called Pandora. Never got to see her box, though.

Spike

Well, isn't this a good opportunity to... slip her one?

[Spike is wearing Will's wetsuit]

Can I ask you why you are wearing that?

Spike

Combination of factors. No clean clothes.

There never will be unless you actually clean your clothes.

Spike

Vicious cycle. And I was rooting around in your things and found this and thought groovy.

Spike

There's something wrong with this yogurt.

Ah, that's not yogurt, that's mayonnaise...

Spike

Ah, right-o then.
[continues to eat it]

Oh really. So the entire British press got up this morning and said, I know where Anna Scott is, she's in that house with the blue door, in Notting Hill. And then you go out, in your god damn underwear.

Spike
[walks in]

I went out in my God damn underwear too.

[Anna has left after the press showed up on the doorstep]

Was it you?

Spike

I may have told a few people down at the pub.

So what do you think? Good move?

Good move. When all is said and done, she's nothing special. I saw her taking her trousers down and I definitely glimpsed some cellulite down there.

Bella

Good decision. All actresses are as mad as snakes.

Tony, what do you think?

Tony

Never met her, never want to.

Brilliant. Max?

Max

Absolutely. Never trust a vegetarian.

Great. Thanks. Brilliant.

Spike
[Spike arrives]

I was called and I came. What's up?

William's just turned down Anna Scott.

Spike
[shocked]

You daft prick!

No, no, no, no, it's actually quite sensible.

Bella
[looks at the painting of the Chagall that Anna gave William]

That painting isn't the original, is it?

Umm, yeah, I think it might be.

But she said she wanted to go out with you?

Yes...sort of...

That's nice.

What?

Well, you know, anyone saying they want to go out with you is...pretty great...isn't it?

It was sort of sweet, actually- um, I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line, but she said she might be as famous as can be, but also...that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. [pause] Oh, sod a dog, I've made the wrong decision, haven't I? [Spike nods. Another pause] Max, how fast is your car?
