Was I dreadful?
Not at all. You have a very unique style.
Yeah, it's called clumsy. How did you get to be so good anyway?
Tom says you played with some of the real greats.
For me, it was a way out of a poor existence.
Caught the eye of a good coach. I don't know.
It all came so easy at first.
- Do you enjoy teaching? - Not really.
I mean, it's OK for now,
but I'd cut my throat if I thought I had to do it forever.
I'd like to do something with my life.
You know, special. I'd like to make a contribution.
So, you're a poor boy from Ireland come to London.
I love it.
It's so exciting and alive.
I've never seen so much art or theater.
Not that I've taken much advantage of it yet.
Well, look, if you'd like someone to show you around,
I grew up in Belgravia.
I'd be happy to take you to all the good places.
That'd be great.
On one condition: I buy the tickets.
Oh, dear, is that going to be an issue?
I'm afraid it is. I'm very old-fashioned.
But actually, I did read something about the...
...exhibition in the Saatchi Gallery.
That's perfect. It'd be my pleasure to take you.
You're very kind to offer this.
Can I at least give you some free tennis lessons?
OK, it's a deal.
How about Wednesday for the Saatchi?
I can do that.
- Shall we meet for lunch first? - It's a date.
I'd better get ready. Your guests will be arriving soon.
Yeah, yeah. Of course. Go.
A sweaty tennis player's hardly what they expect.
