the problem with emerson is that he has to do things his way and he's very meticulous he has to do everything in his slow way he's very slow but i always say that he did two things really quick in his life: winning races and getting married. so, he came up and he looked so you know, embarrassed you know like a kid like a little kid who wants something but is too shy to ask so he came and we chatted for a while 'lovely day isn't it' sort of (only it was night by then) you know the sort of moronic things you say when you're coming up to someone and then he asked 'say, would you like to go out and have dinner with me? tonight?' i said no i'm not the sort of girl who goes out with strangers i said, i can't i'm sorry i can't i'm running late tonight and i think i'm gonna get back home after one o'clock maybe after two 'that's no problem i can wait' i said okey dokey i reckoned he wasn't gonna wait for me till two in the morning i even exaggerated i sort of you know i kinda lied 'i think i'm gonna be back kinda you know sorta after three you know' nobody goes out for dinner at three! but he was impervious and then the moment i got off the plane the first thing i saw was emerson, all by himself he looked so sleepy! but he was there alright it was two thirty in the morning poor emerson so we went out for dinner something that really surprised me i'll never forget that day because the fact is that emerson can't park a car! it takes him three months to park a small car into this huge space he goes back and forth then i said what! you mean you just won a formula one championship and you can't park a car! that's ridiculous! and that broke the ice
