[Tim and Lee are in a strip club, visting the boyfriend of Tim's sister Lucy (he owns the club), when they see a topless brunette (whose back is turned to them)]
LEE: Yeah, it's an awful place, isn't it? I don't know why these blokes come here.
TIM: Blimey ... You wouldn't have that meet your mother, wouldja?
LEE: I dunno, I'd be more worried about me dad meetin' her.
[the girl turns around, and they realize that it's Rosie, a librarian that Tim has been dating]
TIM: [shocked] Rosie?
ROSIE: What're you two doin' here?
TIM: [looks down at her chest] Never mind that, what're you two doin' here?
[she looks down, embarrassed]
TIM: Did Lucy see them? You?
ROSIE: No, I haven't seen anyone. I've literally just walked in ...
[they both continue to stare]
ROSIE: Well, not literally, obviously. I got changed into my gear once I was here.
TIM: Your uniform policy seems pretty relaxed.
ROSIE: Can I help you?
LEE: You got a book on fly fishing by J.R. Hartley?

[after breaking up with her, Tim feels guilty and returns to the strip club to try and explain himself to Rosie]
TIM: Can you at least give me five minutes to explain?
ROSIE: No, I can't. I'm working.
TIM: Well, in that case, I'd like a dance then, please.
ROSIE: You sure Lucy would approve?
TIM: I don't care what my little sister thinks. I make my own decisions. I'm a thirty nine year old man, not a child. How much is it?
ROSIE: Twenty pounds.
TIM: [takes out his change purse and starts handing her coins]
[cut to Tim sitting in a chair, as Rosie begins the lap dance]
ROSIE: What is it you wanted to say to me?
TIM: I just wanted you to know that I've been feeling bad about what I said on the phone, and I wanted to apologize to you ...
[Rosie bends down and shakes her butt in his face]
TIM: You know, face to face.
ROSIE: Okay, so you've apologized. You can go off to the dance.
TIM: It's not just to apologize. I want you to know that I, I regret what I said. I want to see more of you, Rosie.
ROSIE: Well, it's not gonna happen ...
[she rips open her blouse to reveal her bra]
ROSIE: It's never gonna work, Tim. You can't accept me for who I am. I'm sorry, but the answer's no.
[she begins grinding and shoving her cleavage in his face]
ROSIE: I mean it. I know you probably think, this is just me playing hard to get ...
[she continues grinding on top of him]
ROSIE: But we both know it's true. I've been stupid. I've had my head in the clouds, pretending I was a character in some Charlotte Bronte novel. Well, maybe I'm not Jayne Eyre ...
[she rips off her skirt]
ROSIE: And maybe you're not my Mister Rochester after all.
TIM: Y'see, that's what I like about you Rosie ... You're like me.
[she begins spanking herself]
TIM: Just a hopeless romantic.
ROSIE: Tim, you're a nice guy, but come on. Be honest. You and me isn't gonna work.
[he gets up]
TIM: You're probably right. I'm sorry though, for the way I dealt with it.
ROSIE: It's okay.
[they hug, but a huge bouncer mistakes it for "inappropriate touching" and grabs Tim to throw him out of the club]
