Ben: That’s a funny way of getting some fresh air! I bet Lizzie doesn’t know you smoke, does she?
Robin: You goin’ to tell her?
Ben: None of my business, is it? Look, you’ve hardly said a word – what’s up, are you scared to say anything in front of me, in case it’s all over the papers tomorrow?
Ben: Listen, RJ –
Robin: It’s Robin. I don’t like bein’ called RJ.
Ben: Okay. Well, anyway, I’m not trying to get any kind of story out of you.
Robin: Why should I believe that?
Ben: Because if I did anything that hurt you, I’d have Cherry to answer to, wouldn’t I – and I’m really serious about Cherry. I don’t want to risk spoiling anything there.
Robin: I don’t know as Cherry would be all that bothered about what you did to me…
Ben: Well, I think she would, she likes you, a lot.
Ben: Besides, if I upset you, that would upset Lizzie, and that would upset Cherry, wouldn’t it?
Robin: Yeah…
Ben: Well there you go then. For me, that’s just not worth the risk.
Robin: But that day in the park – are you a reporter, then, or not? Cos everyone thinks I got it wrong.
Ben: Yeah, sorry about that.
Ben: Look, I’m not going to explain it all now, long story, and everyone’s going to be wondering where we’ve got to. But I just want you to know, I’m not trying to dig up any dirt on you.
Ben: Let’s get back inside. You really don’t have anything to worry about from me, okay? So just relax and have a nice evening.
Robin: Well…okay…
Ben: Come on then. Of course, if you ever feel you WANT to give me a story…
Robin: That’s not gonna happen.
