We've spent
our entire life savings on vodka.
And chocolate.
And now we've got nothing.

Zilch.

Fuck your manifesto!

Really? Okay, okay, okay, all right.
Okay, manifesto, right.

If love is impossible, we must

So, you decided
to come alone this week?
I know how busy Jamie's been.
How did it go, by the way, the opening?
How did it go?
Um
it was a triumph.
Well, it's good for us
to get this time alone.
Gives me a chance
to hear things from your perspective.
Jamie's gone.
What do you mean?
I mean he left.
He's gone.
Amandine,
before you say anything further,
I should remind you,
I'm a grief therapist.
I'm not a relationship therapist.
What's the difference?
Jamie?
I've made you a bacon butty.
I'll leave it outside the door.
- Go on.
- See you in a bit.
She's gonna miss you.
I'll be back tomorrow night.
- Yeah.
- All right, love you.
Bye.
Eyes peeled.
Horse!
- Where?
- Right.
- Damn.
- That's for me. Thank you.
- Oh, there's a deer!
- Where?
There!
I don't think
I'm gonna be able to top that.
Look! There's the Gruffalo!
All right,
how many points for the Gruffalo?
- Ten thousand!
- Ten thousand?
Over there ♪
- Hey!
- Hi, Auntie Lue!
♪love me ♪
Dad!
Hello, my pumpkin.
Ah!
Hey, pumpkin.
Ah.
You okay?
- Are you crying?
- What?
No. I'm not crying.
Look, I just I just missed you,
that's all.
Hey, Greta.
We've got goats!
Goats? Where?
Round the back.
- Can I go see the goats, Dad?
- Yeah. Of course you can.
- Does she need wellies?
- No, course not.
Come on. Look, monkey.
Jamie.
Jack.
Thanks.
You look good.
- I mean, not as bad as I thought you
- How much does Greta know?
She thinks you're exhausted,
taking a few days.
And she hasn't said anything?
No. I think she's good.
Good.
Good.
So, you saw her?
Hmm-mm. Yeah.
- Jamie, I don't think
- No, yeah, I got it.
- You know. It's just, caught
- Yeah.
in the middle a bit,
and then, you know.
- I understand.
- And then
But yeah, yeah, no, I saw her.
And we spoke before that.
When?
Well, she called me.
She called me that night.
- She called you?
- Yeah.
Why?
Jamie,
we speak on the phone all the time.
- Yeah, about Greta.
- Yeah, sure, and other things.
We're mates.
Did you know?
- Know about what?
- Did you?
Did you know, about fucking Dave,
about Jason Burke, did you?
- Jamie
- Did you know?
Look, I really don't wanna get
caught up in all this.
That's great, no, I
That's fucking perfect, that is.
- Look, I
- Who's Paul?
- Jamie.
- Do you fucking know?
I've fucked up
my relationship with her once,
- I don't wanna fuck it up again!
- Do you know who Paul is?
- No, no. Listen
- Do you know?
- Is it fucking you? Is it fucking you?
- I'm Jack.
- If you're Paul
- Who she left, for you.
You fucking tool.
Come on, man.
I loved Amandine.
I mean, I really loved her.
And I fucked it up.
And I'd give half my dad's money
to try and change that.
I dunno what's going on
between you two, right,
it's none of my business.
But this is the biggest week of your
life and you're holed up
in the back of beyond
with your head up your ass.
I mean, what's the plan, mate?
Blow up your marriage?
Blow up your career?
And where does that leave Greta?
I know, yeah, I know, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. You've been amazing.
You know what? Actually, I have.
And I haven't done it for you
and I haven't done it for Amandine,
I've done it for her,
I've done it for Greta.
I don't know how you do it, mate,
but you've gotta sort this out, fast.
It's time for you to step up, Jamie.
Time for you to work your magic.
Dad, Jack, I met a goat!
Here she is. The tiny terror.
Can I get a goat, Dad,
if Mum says yes?
- Mm?
- Dad, can we get a goat?
- We'll see.
- When he says that, it means yes.
Right, I'm gonna skip.
I'll see you later, Lue.
- Take care.
- Come here, you.
Ah! You got me, you got me,
the biggest hug ever!
I love you, Jack.
I love you too, my darling.
Right, I'm off.
I'll be right back, okay?
You know, if I know Amandine,
and I do, and, uh, if she did this,
which, let's face it,
she did, then, uh
Then what?
Then she must've had a reason.
What do you mean, a reason?
I've gotta go.
Jack thank you.
Any time.
So, you chose Jamie?
I married Jamie
and he became Greta's father.
Wah!
Come on Daddy, come on!
And then you betrayed him.
What do you mean?
I think you know
what I mean, Amandine.
You slept with other men.
You had sex with three other men.
Oh.
I see what you mean.
Yes.
Hello, it's me.
I forgot to say, today is the first
of the month, so pinch, punch.
You may remember
that on the first of the last month,
I came to you
and said I needed you to explain why
it was you were so distant.
Why when I speak
it's like you're not listening.
When you come back
from walks, it's like
like you're back, but you're not.
And I said I was giving you
a month to at least say something,
anything, about what's wrong.
Well
today's a new month,
and so I need to know.
I need to know, Lue.
In 1928, Coco met Madeleine Vionnet,
the revolutionary designer of her time,
but just as influential
to the world of fashion.
It makes it cling to the body.
It makes it flow.
Elastic.
Cut the fabric, I cut the fabric,
I cut the fabric, I cut the fabric.
This cut is wrong.
I cut the fabric
at 45 degrees to the weft.
Makes it flow.
Makes it cling to the body.
Who taught you this idea?
It's my own, Mademoiselle Chanel.
It's called the bias cut.
What did you say your name was again?
Madeleine.
My name is Madeleine.
Thanks.
Madam.
Hello.
Just needs more flow.
Yes. See?
Just one small adjustment.
Nice.
- It's good?
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Thanks, thanks.
This collection
is my apogee.
But I couldn't have done it
without the aid and skill
of one person.
My new friend,
and from now on,
my new partner in all my designs
Madeleine.
- Is it true?
- Yes.
Welcome, Madeleine.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Please.
Now, where's the muppet?
What?
The muppet.
The frog.
It was there.
Have you sold him?
Mrs. Peters, hi.
Can I help you?
Where's the muppet?
Um
Good afternoon, everybody.
It's a great pleasure and privilege
to introduce author
and visiting principal clinical professor
of veterinary neurology,
Dr. Jefferson Wilson.
Thank you.
Well, I would like to thank
Dr. Chowdhury
for that nice introduction. Thank you.
So
of the roughly 5,000 species of mammals,
only three to five percent
are known to form lifelong pair bonds.
Today, we're going to look at
the neurobiological mechanisms
regulating social and sexual affiliations
in prairie voles.
This is my fiancé, Pierre.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I'm so lucky
to have her as a partner.
Yes, so talented and beautiful
Unlike the more promiscuous
meadow vole,
the male prairie vole
has a continuous contact
with its female counterpart,
which lasts for all of their lives.
If the female prairie vole dies,
the male does not look for a new partner.
This uniqueness
in the prairie vole behaviour
is related to the oxytocin
and vasopressin hormones.
The oxytocin receptors
in the female prairie vole brain
are located more densely
in the reward system,
and has more receptors
than other species
But where is Coco?
Coco couldn't make it.
Oh.
Shall we?
Beautiful here.
Recent studies in the US have found
that if prairie voles are given
a solution of H2O and alcohol,
this dopamine bond pattern
is significantly affected
and the bonding patterns
of the prairie vole
mimic that of the meadow vole
becoming quickly
and indiscriminately promiscuous.
Where did you find it?
It was under the cot.
You think Jamie smashed
your grandfather's violin?
I know he did.
How does that make you feel?
If you had one word right now
that came to mind,
what would it be?
One word?
Hope.
Look, I don't expect you to understand.
Some people go through their whole lives
without the first fucking clue
what love is
what a heart is,
what it can do,
what it must do.
- Okay. Are we doing this?
- Yeah.
Really? Okay. Okay.
Okay. All right.
Okay, manifesto, all right.
Number one.
Love is impossible!
- Number two!
- Number two
If love is impossible,
we must
- believe in the impossible.
- Believe in the impossible.
We must believe in magic.
Look, Amandine,
we can go around and around,
but the fact
is your husband caught you
having sex with three other men.
What makes you think I got caught?
I can always find out
Happy birthday, Amandine!
Here we go Oh!
- Amandine, budge up.
- All right.
Here we go, here we go!
Hey, Amandine, budge up,
budge up, budge up.
Okay, ready?
Ready, ready, ready, ready.
Okay, here we go, here we go,
here we go. Okay.
Hi, I'm John.
Hi, I'm George.
Hi, I'm Ringo.
And I'm Paul.
- Ringo.
- And I'm Paul.
