Soon after the party Barbara tells Richard that she's no longer in the film, and Richard suggests that they call Moss and Julie to go out for a drink together. Moss and Julie let slip that Patterson had told Barbara that she could have the part in the movie if she went to bed with him – Richard asks Barbara if she was tempted, and she was. The couple's marriage begins to deteriorate from there on out. Richard follows Barbara (in the boot of her car) to her meeting with Patterson, but that doesn't get that far following an incident in a car wash, and Barbara leaves Richard to return to Patterson. Impatient to get Barbara back in his life, Richard finds himself friendless and alone. He wanders through a cemetery where he meets a man on a bench, and they share a bucket of chicken together and swap stories of lost loves.
