Hang on.
I’ll talk to the lady.
“Hola soy inglés. ¿Me puedes dar la dirección de tu piso?”
ANNIE
Oh, she doesn’t look very happy.
BRIDGET
No, she looks a mess!
ANNIE
Perhaps her boyfriend has left her.
NICK
Yeah- because she looks a mess! [Laughs]
BRIDGET
Maybe he didn’t like her hair.

Well actually, he did like my hair and at least mine is natural!
BRIDGET
Ah, she understood!
ANNIE
She’s English!
WAITRESS
How did you guess?!
NICK
So, is this a traditional Spanish bar?

They are not sensitive, gentle, romantic and – sophisticated like me.
Crashing noise

Which one, which one, I’ve forgotten them all!
HECTOR
Use my one, stars, stars.

OK, OK, I remember. [Clears throat].
“Your teeth are like stars – they come out at night.”
Annie and Hector laugh
NICK
It’s obvious – she’s crazy about me!
BRIDGET
I’ve got a date with him, I’ve got a date with him!
NICK
Who?
Mr Iglesias?
BRIDGET
Oh, don’t be silly!
Of course it’s not Enrique Iglesias!
I’m not that stupid! [Makes snorting noise]
It’s Miguel – and tonight we’re going clubbing!
HECTOR
Great!
NICK
Where are we going?
BRIDGET
No, not you, Miguel and me.
