No.22
LINDSAY: All I want to know is one thing. I want to know from your own lips why you and your husband abandoned me when I was born. I have to know. Ever since I found out I was adopted, my mind's just been filled with rage. I can't go on like this.
CATHY: I know. It must have been a shock.
LINDSAY: Of course it was a shock! One minute I'm a normal person, the next I find out that my parents, the people I *thought* were my parents, have been lying to me for years! And that you and my f...your husband...I mean, I know he wasn't your husband then...why you both threw me out like dirty washing the moment I was born!
No.32

No.22
CATHY: Lindsay, giving you up was the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life. And hardly a day's gone by since then that...I haven't thought about you. I want to show you something. And please, don't think it's corny.
She goes to a drawer and brings out a pair of baby bootees.
CATHY: I knitted these for you when I was pregnant. And I was never given the chance to give them to her.
She gives them to Lindsay, who is touched. She hugs Cathy and starts to cry.
LINDSAY: You know, the funny thing, and the sad thing? All my life I've never even considered having children. Because my family...the family who raised me are muscular dystrophy carriers...I thought I was too.
CATHY: And now?
LINDSAY: Now I don't want kids! When I found out I was adopted...they all started at me to have a family.
CATHY: Why don't you? Oh, look at us.
She goes to get them some tissues.
LINDSAY: The thing is...now I'm terrified of being a mother. It doesn't even help that I've found my real roots. Bill's been and on at me ever since...I want kids, it's safe now, you can have kids. On and on. I couldn't cope. Can I ask a favour?
CATHY: Anything.
LINDSAY: Can I have some more tissues?!
She sits down.
LINDSAY: It's all so hard. When I couldn't have children, I wanted them, now I can, I'm petrified! How do I put my life back together?

NO.22
Cathy thinks Bill must love Lindsay very much - he married her even though he wanted children. Lindsay admits that Bill cried when she told him she was a carrier of the MDG gene. After she found out she was adopted, she realised she was terrified of having children, and said a lot of hurtful things to him.
CATHY: Why don't you tell him?
LINDSAY: It's too late.
CATHY: Never!
LINDSAY: You sound like you're talking from experience.
CATHY: Well, I am! It's never too late to talk things out. Or at least to try to talk.
LINDSAY: Bill always stood by me in the bad days. When we were happy...we were so happy.
CATHY: Why don't you stay and have dinner with us? Benito would love to sit down and really talk to you.
LINDSAY: No. Thanks. But you're right. I owe it to Bill to be honest about my feelings.
CATHY: You will come back and see us?
LINDSAY: I don't know.
Cathy doesn't push it, and they walk to the front door with their arms around each other.
