Bad luck mate.

I've had years of practice.

You used to play pool a lot at university.

I don't really have the time anymore.

The magazine keeps me pretty busy.

And when I'm free, I'm usually with Jenny.

Your turn. Don't blow it.

Last time I saw you, it was blonde.

If you don't come back to London soon, you'll become an all-American boy.

What's wrong with my shirt?

Jenny seems to know what she wants, and she probably gets it.

That's one of the things I like about her.

Come on, Rob. We haven't even finished the game.
