Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Firefighter : [voiceover, reassuring Gillian after taking care of the Land Rover fire]  It's all safe now. Why don't you get back in t'warm? We'll get off. Bye

  Gillian : Thanks.

• Gillian : [to Caroline over brandy]  It wasn't, uh, a misunderstanding. I...

  [sighs and shakes her head] 

  Gillian : I don't know. I don't even know why I'm telling you.

  [sips her drink] 

  Gillian : Except that Raff doesn't generally behave like that. He's... He's not a thug. He's a grand lad. He's better than I deserve. He's like my dad. He's got a big streak of something very decent etched right through him. And I haven't. I'm a mess. Well, you know that. Put your finger on it first time you met me.

• Alan : [incredulous]  You've been having a fling with Paul Jatri?

  Raff : Can you believe it?

  Alan : [chuckling]  Oh, he's only 15!

  Gillian : No, Dad, that would be illegal. He's 22.

  Raff : Yeah, and you're 45! Have you looked in t'mirror lately?

• Caroline : [drying dishes]  I'm sorry I inflicted my husband on you the other day.

  Gillian : [washing dishes]  Oh, well, now don't apologize. I'm sorry my son got arrested in front of you all by his own uncle.

  Caroline : So he... Raff beat up the bloke that's lying on your couch.

  Gillian : Yeah. Yeah, he uh... He's Paul. He's...

  [sighing] 

  Gillian : We're friends, me and Paul, and um, Raff got it into his head that we were more than friends, and he didn't like that. So he...

  Caroline : Then someone else beat him up even more?

  Gillian : Yeah. Yeah.
