Honey

Oh God, this is one of those key moments in life, when it's possible you can be really, genuinely cool - and I'm failing 100%. I absolutely and totally and utterly adore you and I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world and more importantly I genuinely believe and have believed for some time now that we can be best friends. What do YOU think?

Wait, what about me?

Max

Sorry, you think you deserve the brownie?

Well a shot at it at least huh?

Well, you'll have to fight me for it, this is a very good brownie.

I've been on a diet every day since I was nineteen, which basically means I've been hungry for a decade. I've had a series of not nice boyfriends, one of whom hit me. Ah, and every time I get my heart broken, the newspapers splash it about as though it's entertainment. And it's taken two rather painful operations to get me looking like this.

Honey

Really?

Really. (indicates nose and chin) And, one day not long from now, my looks will go, they will discover I can't act and I will become some sad middle-aged woman who looks a bit like someone who was famous for a while.

Max
[long pause]

Nah, nice try gorgeous, but you don't fool anyone.

Pathetic effort to hog the brownie.

Max
[Opens door.]

Hi.

Honey

Hi. [Shows off her dress.]

Max

Ah yes, Happy Birthday.

Honey

Thank you.

Max

Look, your brother's brought this girl ...

Honey

Hi guys! [Walks into the house and turns a corner.] Oh, holy ****!

Hon, this is Anna. Anna, this is Honey. She is my baby sister.

Oh, hi.

Honey

Oh God! This is one of those key moments in life when it's possible you can be really genuinely cool and I ... I'm going to fail just a 100%. I ... I absolutely, totally, and utterly adore you, and I just think ... you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And more importantly, I genuinely believe, and I've believed for some time now, that ... that we could be best friends. So what do you think?

Oh ... ha ha, uh, lucky me! [Offers present.] Um ah well, Happy Birthday.

Honey

Oh, you gave me a present. We're best friends already then. ... Marry Will! He's a really nice guy. Then we can be sisters.

Well, I'll think about it.

So what do you think? Good move?

Honey

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 arrives]

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

Honey

William's just turned down Anna Scott.

[shocked]

You daft prick!

Honey

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?
