Lorraine:
[tearful] Everything in my life gets ruined, Nigel. I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me!

Nigel:
[comforting] No, don't be silly. There's nothing wrong with you.

Lorraine:
Well, I'm not so sure.

Nigel:
Well, I am! I think you're wonderful.

Lorraine:
[smiles] Thanks.

Nigel:
No, really.

[pause]

Nigel:
I love you, Lorraine.

Lorraine:
[shocked] Wh... What?

Nigel:
I love you! I've been meaning to tell you for ages. I just keep losing my nerve.

Lorraine:
Nigel...

Nigel:
I'm sorry. I don't want to upset you. I just couldn't keep it to myself a moment longer. It's been going round and round in my head. I haven't been able to think about anything else for weeks.

Lorraine:
Don't.

Nigel:
I want to be with you, Lorraine! I want to take care of you. I haven't felt anything like this since Debs died.

Lorraine:
Look... Nigel, I really like you but...

Nigel:
[disappointed] But... but not like that.

Lorraine:
I am so sorry.

Nigel:
No, no. I'm... I'm sorry. It's stupid of me to presume.

Lorraine:
No, no, it's not!

Nigel:
It is. You are much too good for me.

Lorraine:
Oh, I'm not, Nigel.

Nigel:
Well, you're beautiful. Why should you ever be interested in me?

Lorraine:
It's not you!

Nigel:
What then?

Lorraine:
There's someone else.
