Billy thinks his eye sight is playing tricks on him and trying not to distract Jerry from his sleep, she demands to know what he is doing at the hotel? Billy asks her the same question? She says that they should try and avoid each other and tells him to go back to his room.
'That's wh-a~t I've been t r~yiiiiinggg t~ do,' Billy drunkenly slurs. 'C~a~a~n I co...'
'No, you stupid old fool, you can't come in' Audrey whispers. 'You'll ruin everything. I mean what will Sandra think and Jerry for that matter?'
'I- can't sl~e~e~ep out here a~l~l night,' Billy moans.

'Yeah, what is it buddy?' Greg asks.
'I'll catch ya later boss,' Kenneth says.

'Feelings mutual,' Billy claims. 'But we kept hurting each other and I kept hurting our children. We're better off, moving on...but we're still friends that's the main thing.'
'And you and Sandra?' Audrey bluntly asks.
'We're married now, she's my wife and ...'
'And you set a good example by drunkenly falling into the arms of girl from Wales and a gorgeous one if that,' Audrey interrupts.
