Oh, but what do you do for a living?
BelleIn this dress, no one will care.
Belle[answering phone] Hello?
Do you do girls?
Belle[laughs]
It says here, "Yes" to anal, GFE, school uniform. "No" to scats, stags and water sports. You've got nothing against girls.
[Belle has a flashback to when she first met with Stephanie]
No need to be nervous. Just gonna ask you a couple of questions. First of all, A-levels?
BelleUh, yeah. History, English, Politics and General Studies.
No. I mean, do you do anal?
[Belle is interviewing a male escort to work with]
BelleAnd what do you think you bring to a client's experience?
12 inches.
I wanna be called... Bambi. Cos that's what people used to call me in school.
BelleBambi. Right, because you're quite... doe-eyed?
No, it's cos my mum got shot.
Belle[shocked] Oh, my God. I'm— I'm so sorry—
No, I'm only joking. [laughs]
I've got a little friend come to stay.
BelleWho?
Aunty Flo.
BelleBambi, have you taken something?
What? No. I... I've got the painters in.
[Belle is about to be interviewed on TV]
Bloody hell, babes, you look like a transvestite.
BelleThanks, Bambi.
A pretty one.
Yeah.
BelleYeah, thanks for your support.
BelleDo you ever feel like you've bitten off more than you can chew?
All the time.
BelleYeah? What you do about it?
Well, either spit it out or... swallow.
[reading a print draft of Belle's next book] This third paragraph is lovely.
BellePeople don't normally think of sucking cock as lovely.
I do.
BelleAnd the shoes? Do you like these?
Yeah, they're great. Very, erm...
BelleFuckable?
I was gonna say vintage.
[Belle and Duncan are discussing the possibility of a relationship]
BelleSay we meet after work, and you say, "How was your day, darling?" And I'm like, "Yeah, it was fine, I had sex with this guy. It was nothing. How was yours?"
Well, if I've been with a guy, then I'll tell you.
BelleI've slept with 1,036 men.
No, I can't top that.
So this bar is full of escorts.
BelleWell, I don't know about full, but yeah.
Go on, then. Where?
BelleOh, you wanna play Guess the Escort?
I haven't been completely straight with you. I'm not really a virgin.
BelleRight.
Well, I am... but I'm not. But...
BelleBut...
The thing is... Oh, it's silly, really. Do you know Katy Perry?
BelleYeah, yeah. "I kissed a girl and..." Oh, you... kissed a girl and you... liked it?
Yeah. Which was a bit of a surprise because I'm gay. So it caught me unawares, so to speak.
BelleHang on, you're gay? [laughs] You're gay! That's why—
It didn't work. Exactly! I didn't want it to work. That's why I came 'round, to tell you that you didn't do anything wrong.
BelleThanks! Of course! [sighs with relief] Oh, that feels good.
Do you charge more?
BelleWhat?
For the gross stuff. Blowjobs... anal, golden showers.
The truth is, I had heard you were good. Your reputation precedes you.
BelleI suppose we should've just... sorted this out in the beginning, instead of letting things drag on.
Speaking of which, there's a human rights lawyer shackled to my boiler. I suppose I should go and release him.
Belle[laughs] Yeah, exactly. [realises Charlotte is serious] Oh, you... OK. Sorry.
