00:00You're not doing your Halloween parties anymore?

00:02Yes, are you?

00:03I might do another one before I go, but A, they cost a fortune, and B...

00:07I thought this was my chance to finally get an invite.

00:09No, if I did...

00:11But that was part of the problem, not you, but...

00:14Part of the problem was, because it became such a well-known event...

00:16Yeah.

00:17Every time I did something, I said, are you doing your Halloween party?

00:19And being quite a kind of rather, you know, open person, I would say, sure.

00:23And then one year I was there and I thought, I only genuinely know...

00:26I mean, my kids would have all their friends, so they would have a big group each,

00:29so I wouldn't necessarily know all of them, but of the adults that I'd invited,

00:32I'd probably only genuinely know about 30% of them.

00:34And the others, I liked them all, but it was fun still.

00:38So all I had to do was ask all along, I just needed to...

00:40If you'd have asked, I'd have said yes.

00:41Oh, damn it.

00:42I'm too polite.

00:43I'm playing it cool.

00:44I want to be loads of people I like far less than you then.
