00:00Oh, nine biscuits. Come on.
00:22Hey, you.
00:26Do you think you should be passing by?
00:29Come on in.
00:45So, you just got out, did you?
00:48Here.
00:50Let's get some of that hair off you.
00:54Hi. I only have this.
00:57Oh, there's enough there for an all-over shave.
01:02Come on. Come and sit down.
01:08You'll feel a lot better.
01:12There, now.
01:18How about some music?
01:24Night.
01:28I bet you're quite a looker under all that lot.
01:34I'll have you a proper lady killer in no time.
01:38Smells. Sound. Sensation.
01:55They bore me away.
01:57Her fingers brushed my face.
02:00Her body insisted against me.
02:03Casually. Occasionally.
02:07I was dizzy with many feelings,
02:10among which desire was a constant.
02:14It was not simply that I wanted her,
02:17pretty though she was, but that I wanted it all.
02:30There. I knew it.
02:33You are a good looker.
02:37What's wrong? Don't you like your face?
02:44I'm sorry. I thought I was younger.
02:49Oh.
02:53Oh, you poor soul.
02:57It's a good face.
03:01You're still human.
03:04That's all that counts.
03:08Come back and see me when you're settled.
03:13You never know your luck.
