Overview

This short features a man who is visited by his ex-lover. The moment she arrives, the man starts his constant barrage of speech; the woman doesn't say much. She just mocks the man and pretends she isn't listening. She pulls faces at him and larks about; while the man is trying his best to get her back in his life, then in the next sentence he says he hates her.

00:01:11 It's too late. Whatever it is, you´d better not say it.
00:01:37 It couldn't work out because it shouldn't have. Impossible. Possible...
00:02:08 I knew you'd be back in a week, your tail between your legs
00:02:37 But you're still a nasty little bitch
00:03:08 What're you thinking about?
00:03:34 Don't deny it. I told you it couldn't work. I knew you'd be back
00:04:04 Don't say no. You're tiresome. It's too much
00:04:32 What is a film anyway? A big head pulling faces in a little hall
00:05:02 Rather go on the streets. At least you'd make some money
00:05:32 It reminds me of a nut-case, full of hot air

00:09:31 Oh, it's a waste of time. Why don't you clear off?
00:09:58 I never wanted to, because I believed in being civilised
00:10:35 And that money with the caretaker. Don't pretend you've forgotten
00:11:07 I know I'm pathetic but it's because I love you
00:11:43 Don't leave me alone, I beg you. Stay!
00:12:14 That's why you're back, is that right?
