Short filmTranscript
00:00 She was stomping around the lounge, not looking where she's going.
00:03 She throws her drink all over me, face is glued to her phone.
00:06 Not a care in the world.
00:07 Yeah, she's probably an alcoholic.
00:08 I'm William, by the way.
00:16 Anna.
00:17 Anna.
00:18 It's great to meet you, Anna.
00:19 What brings you to London?
00:20 Uh, work.
00:22 Are you headed back home?
00:24 What gave it away?
00:25 Sophisticated English charm.
00:26 Yeah, that must be it.
00:29 Well, no, I'm actually, uh...
00:31 I was at a job interview in New York,
00:34 and now I'm on my way back to see my mum for her birthday.
00:36 Okay.
00:37 You get points back for that.
00:39 Points?
00:40 I didn't realize we were playing a game.
00:41 What do I get if I win?
00:42 Bloody Mary.
00:43 Address?
00:47 Uh, sorry, one second.
00:49 Let me just...
00:49 Oh my god.
00:54 Oh...
00:56 my god.
00:58 Yep, uh...
00:59 And they're suede.
01:01 Yeah.
01:01 They're suede.
01:02 Um...
01:03 Fine, don't worry about it.
01:03 Why don't you just come meet...
01:04 Can I pay for your dry cleaning?
01:06 No, no, it's fine.
01:06 Are you sure?
01:07 Sorry.
01:09 What kind of work brings you over to England, then?
01:12 I work for an auction house here in the city.
01:15 And our London branch has called in the director of the New York office to save the day.
01:22 The director?
01:22 Mm-hmm.
01:23 Wow, that's impressive.
01:26 Yeah, I guess.
01:27 Forgive me for this, but you seem a bit young to be the director.
01:31 What?
01:33 Do you get that a lot?
01:34 Yeah.
01:37 I'd like to introduce you to my mum, Catherine.
01:40 Pleasure to meet you.
01:41 Nice to meet you as well.
01:42 You are gorgeous.
01:44 Looks like you stepped out of a Jean Barreau painting.
01:47 What a charming thing to say.
01:49 Jean Barreau is actually one of my favorites.
01:52 Mine too.
01:52 Tell me, Anna, where are you going?
01:54 Are you waiting for someone?
01:55 Um, no, I'm on my own.
01:57 But I'm going to the Carlson.
01:59 No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:00 Not the Carlson.
02:01 That's four streets from my house.
02:03 Do you want a lift?
02:04 Oh, no, no, no.
02:05 I couldn't.
02:06 I'll just...
02:06 Come with us.
02:07 Please.
02:08 Tell your mum I say thank you, and I will consider being your date tonight.
02:13 It's at the South Bank.
02:14 You're the one that likes that sort of thing.
02:16 And thus, there'll be nothing there that I like unless you show.
02:18 I will see if I can get off early.
02:21 You know, we're actually really busy planning the Brobel collection.
02:25 Listen, I will get my mum to cancel the whole bloody thing if it'll free up your schedule.
02:30 Uh, you don't have to do that.
02:34 I can probably go.
02:34 Then I'll pick you up at your hotel at eight.
02:36 You made it.
02:37 Yeah, well, didn't want to disappoint your mum.
02:41 Here I was thinking you wanted to see me again.
02:43 Why would I want to see you again?
02:45 Dashing good looks.
02:46 The fact that I just finished doing a hundred press-ups and reading a book on impressionism.
02:50 Press-ups was a nice touch.
02:51 Well, apparently being English is my only carpet view.
02:54 Oh, not at all.
02:55 Free booze, free food, fancy people.
02:58 You've got a full house.
02:59 I'm glad to see your sudden onset jet lag is pissed off.
03:02 Yeah, it turns out you knew the solution.
03:04 What was it back there then?
03:06 You were allergic to Mayfair.
03:07 What?
03:08 I said you were allergic to Mayfair.
03:11 Oh, um, oh, no, I just, I didn't want to be seen with you.
03:16 Ouch.
03:18 Sorry.
03:18 Yeah, well, we're not done yet.
03:19 What do you mean?
03:20 We're not?
03:22 Nope.
03:23 Come on.
03:24 I know what you're doing.
03:26 What? What am I doing?
03:28 Come on, you know.
03:29 You know what you're doing.
03:31 Having me show up here when you're all...
03:34 What? Coaching an at-risk youth football team or looking increasingly like the Premier League
03:41 player of your dreams?
03:42 Not my type.
03:43 Art history degree, remember?
03:46 All you nerdy types love us footballers.
03:48 [Music]
04:12 You know, the last time I was here, I was meant to tell you something.
04:16 What's that?
04:18 [Music]
04:20 You still need to pay me back for the shoes.
04:22 You're done.
04:23 [Music]
04:38 Okay.
04:38 [Music]
04:40 I should go.
04:42 So, this job in New York...
04:46 If I get the offer.
04:48 If you get the offer?
04:50 Is it something you might actually take?
04:54 Yes.
04:55 Looking more and more attractive.
