Oh hello
Oh hello you're very nice what's your
name? My name is Charlotte. What do you do
Charlotte? Erm, I'm a Makeup Artist
Oh right. How long have you been doing that? Erm,
a good five years now. And erm, do you like your
work?
Oh I love my work, I'm very passionate about erm,
lipstick, I love a good lippy! (strange kissing noises)
yeah I grew up around my three sisters
so I'm really used to erm, you know,
seeing people apply lipstick and I
really admire your profession. Oh good, good
to hear, good to hear.
What's your name? My name's Harry. Charlotte
What do you like to do when you're not
applying makeup? What do you like to do
in your free time?
Well I like to go to the movies, I like to
spend some time with my girls, the usual!
well erm, if you haven't got any plans
with the girls..
how would you like to go for a drink
with me friday night?
Oh what with you? I'll just err, seen
if I'm free on Friday, i'll let you know
okay well how about I take your erm,
your number and I'll give you a text?
oh gosh, very forward, erm okay.. yeah!
Hi Harry! Hi Sam! Sam ha ha!! My name's Charlotte,
how rude! Hi Charlotte, how you doing?
I'm doing very well thank you
and yourself? yeah really good thanks
it's always erm a bit awkward when you
first get to the date in England because
in some countries they'll always kiss on
the cheek, like in Spain it's.. they
always kiss on the cheek, probably twice
but in England we don't have an
accepted custom for this, do we?
no we normally get a bit afraid about
what should be done, whether it should be
a handshake, a hug
one kiss, two kisses and some some even
3! I think France it's three isn't it? Yeah
some areas of France three, some areas
four I think. Wow that just takes forever!
It just.. normally a good idea, not
many people do it, but just to say
"two kisses", in a sarcastic sort of jokey way
"too kisses", or "one kiss" or "are we going in
for a hug?"
yeah yeah I like that yeah that's good
Do you wanna try that on me Harry? So two kisses
darling?
Oh yeah alright!
Charlotte how long (have) you been single?
Too bloody long mate! Too bloody long
and what what was your last
relationship like? You know my last
relationship erm, he didn't really
respect me. He wouldn't spend enough
time with me on the weekends, he'd always
go out with the lads and spend a lot of
time down the pub. Okay how did that make
you feel when he was, you know, always out
with the lads
well to be honest a little bit
neglected!. Do you have many many Guy - Friends?
Are you a big LAD?
Yeah I think, well I do have...I've got the boys..
I've got a bit group of lads and.. but
I mean, i would never spend time with them
over time with the girlfriend, you know
what I mean? i'm more of a nice night-in with erm..
watching Strictly Come Dancing (a British Television Show) and a pizza
with my girlfriend. I like a good pizza, me
Hawaiian, Hawaiian is my favorite!
yeah..because you get a little bit
of sweet pineapple when you don't expect
it!
And I've heard it's an
aphrodisiac!
yeah.. so where did you grow up
Harry? I grew up in Bedford
OK was it nice? No it was a shithole, yeah it was nice
I had a nice family upbringing, I've got a
lovely family, good friends..
yeah! Siblings? I've got a brother and a
sister they're both.. both older than me
Are you close with them? Yeah,
I'm really close with them we're "like three peas in a
pod" (English Idiom said incorrectly)
isn't it "two peas in a pod" (English Idiom said correctly)
yeah i think it is I see what you've done there..
You're a smart one aren't you?
I like you, in a way... What about you
Charlotte. (Have) You got brothers and sisters?
yeah I've got two brothers and they're
they're a bit older than me though so I
kind of look at them as a bit like my
dad because they looked after me when I
was younger
that's cute did they protect you from
all the boys that wanted to, you know, try it
on with you at school? Oh yeah
one of them went to prison actually, it was terrible 'cos
I had a guy round my house and
he came and he stabbed him in the
head! Stabbed him in the head! Have you always had a lot of
guys chasing you? I've always had
someone to text. So Charlotte you look
really lovely this evening. Thanks
What is it particularly that you like? I love your
your enormous white teeth. All the better
for biting you with!
Oh! haha! You've got and a nice hair-cut, what..
what inspired you? I, I... I tried to go
for a perm but my hair's so thick that
it doesn't really curl over the way
that a perm would normally so it's
just ended up as a bit of a frizzy
frizzy ball!
I like your eyebrows.. Does it take long to
pluck them? Well not as long as it would
take for you! Ha..how many times do you
brush your teeth a day? They're awfully
sparkly! You know I was actually on the
Colgate (a Toothpaste brand in the UK) advert when I was 16. Well, you're
not so bad yourself, Harry you know your
beard is as bushy as your eyebrows! So that
there was 'a neg' and we call it
negging and it means to give a
compliment with a bad quality with it
so a positive with a negative i always
remember a comedian Stephen Merchant he
said yeah "I never mastered the negging
technique..you can't really come back
from saying "I like your hair but your
head's a bit big!" ha ha ha
I find you really sexy but I don't know
if I can trust you! Oh I like your
dress, my mum has that! You look
knackered, because you've been running around my
head all night. I think you've got something in
your eye, Harry... Oh it's just a twinkle. Did it hurt?
When? When you dropped from heaven..
I'm not a photographer but I can picture us
together!
Are you a camera? Because
every time I look at you I smile! Are you
erm are you religious? Because you're the
answer to all my prayers!
Did you sit in a pile of sugar? Because
you have a pretty sweet arse! ha ha ha
What can i get you? Do you want a drink?
What can I get you? I would love a Pinot
Grigiot, please.
mm okay okay i'm paying put your money
away, love.
oh that's very sweet of you, Thank You
Harry. No worries, you can get the next round (of drinks)
I've really enjoyed tonight, erm, it'd be
nice to invite you round my house and kind
of.. cook for you.. maybe next weekend.
What do you think? You know that that
sounds great erm, can I bring my
girlfriends? Oh I was thinking it was just
me and you..?
well it would be a good fun party.. maybe
Yeah OK I'll text you
ok it was lovely to meet you, Harry
Yeah lovely to meet you too. Take care! Yeah, take care..
