David and Mia
Northern lorry driver David arrives at a restaurant to meet Celeste with whom he has arranged a date via the Internet. 'Celeste' arrives but is actually called Mia and proceeds to be offensive to him and the waitress. She eventually drops her guard and starts to get on with David but whilst he talks about himself and his late wife, she is enigmatic and leaves without telling him. He catches up with her and they kiss before she flees in a taxi.
