Peep Show2003

Jeremy Usborne:
So, listen mate, about this whole you asking Sophie to get married, I mean, it's brilliant and everything, but I was just wondering, have you considered, like, not doing it?

Mark Corrigan:
Not doing it? But that's what this whole weekend's been about. I saved for three months for the mega-deal vouchers.

Jeremy Usborne:
No, obviously, and after all that clipping you're going to want something to show for it, like a wife. But... is it really a good idea?

Mark Corrigan:
I dunno, I kind of assumed it was because I spend all my time thinking about it. I'm obsessed with it.

Jeremy Usborne:
Ah yeah, but you see, Super Hans is obsessed with crack and poppers and dusting his knob with speed but it doesn't make it right, does it? I mean, what is it about her you actually love?

Mark Corrigan:
Are you kidding? Everything! Her... you know... I mean, she has changed a bit lately, but we had this connection.

Jeremy Usborne:
Right.

Mark Corrigan:
Which, admittedly, is kind of going, but, you know, she's funny. Although now I wonder whether she really was funny or whether she was just being normal but I liked her so much I thought she was funny.

Jeremy Usborne:
Oh yeah. I know that one.

Mark Corrigan:
Plus, when I was at the height of Sophie madness it was when, you know, watching her across a hot photocopier, the little looks, the funny doodles.

Jeremy Usborne:
Before you really had a relationship.

Mark Corrigan:
Exactly. It's almost like the more we've gotten to know each other, the worse it's been.

[pauses]

Mark Corrigan:
I mean, we really have almost nothing in common.

Jeremy Usborne:
Well, maybe that's a sign?

Mark Corrigan:
Oh my God, I... I don't have to marry her. Jez, I'm not going to ask her to marry me! There might even be other women in the country who are willing to speak to me and now I can go out and find them! Or just give up on women and eat toasted sandwiches and watch TV!

Jeremy Usborne:
Oh, don't give up on women, mate. I mean, there's she-males, hookers, Thai Brides, all God's rich tapestry.
