Two friends, on denouement.

Cecily: I’m hungry all the time. I don’t know why. I want a big bowl of pasta.

Charles: Please don’t be with child. Movies end with marriage and childbirth because nothing happens thereafter.

Delilah, on New Year’s Eve.

Delilah: How did you celebrate this castratingly realisational passage of pointless measurement of arbitrary parameters? Did you have a snog and a whisky? Or a cabaret and a spliff? Or, dare I say it, a bottle episode?

Cecily: Bottle episode. Setting: my house. Cast: every Tinder date I’ve met over the past year. Food: fromage. Ending: catastrophic, as preordained.
