Coupling · Season 1, Episode 1

Sally, Patrick and others in “Flushed”

Sally

Mary Kelly does not fancy you!

Patrick

I can tell from the way she acts around me. She finds me attractive.

Sally

Is there any form of female behavior you don't interpret as finding you attractive?

Patrick

It's never really come up.

Susan

If you two are finished. I thought you wanted to speak to me.

Patrick

Yeah, yeah, I do. [To Sally] Could you give us a minute? [Sally gets up to leave and then turns around]

Sally

Mary Kelly thinks you're a complete idiot.

Patrick

Then why does she keep looking at my arse when we're talking?

Sally

She's lip-reading. [She leaves]

Patrick

We need to talk.

Susan

Sure.

Patrick

About out relationship. I'm just starting to think it's getting a bit hot and heavy. And we both need to back off and cool down. You know, maybe we should just both think about where everything's going and whether we're starting to commit more than we intend to or want to.

Susan

What relationship?

Patrick

I can't believe you!

Susan

Well, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! I just never saw it as a relationship as such. I just thought we were having a bit of fun, a bit of sex.

Patrick

Well, yeah, I mean, that's what I thought. I mean, that's pretty much the way I see it.

Susan

Well, there you are then.

Patrick

Yeah.

Susan

I mean, it's not as if we're being faithful or anything. Oops. I'm so sorry, I had no idea.

Patrick

It's fine.

Susan

We were only seeing each other once a week. That's not exactly a sex life. You must have been doing a lot of solo flights.

Patrick

No, I wasn't!

Susan

Oh, come on!

Patrick

I certainly was not! I was saving it all up for you!

Susan

No, really? Oops. [Buries face in hand and collapses back on the couch] Look, I'm not saying it wasn't good. I'm just saying it didn't seem like a week's worth. [Patrick glances over] Oh, no, don't look like that! Not everyone has my level of sex drive! I mean, for a start, you're a bloke...

Patrick

All right, all right, I wasn't going to say anything, but actually, I've been seeing someone else, too.

Susan

You've been cheating on me?

Patrick

What?

Susan

Is this true, Patrick?

Patrick

But you were cheating on me!

Susan

I wasn't cheating, I wasn't being faithful. You were being faithful. And that means, you were cheating. And I thought I knew you.

Susan

This is Patrick, This is Jeff who works in my office.

Patrick

Hi, right, good to meet you. [Steve runs through the establishment with Jane in hand behind him]

Jeff

So, how do you know Susan then? [Sally pops up from behind]

Sally

She just dumped him!

Jeff

Oh, great.

Susan

Oh, sounds like my cue for a loo break. Excuse me a sec.

Jeff

So, dumped and still here, eh? So, you're an unflushable. [Patrick coils back]
