Madge awkwardly appraoches Lou.
MADGE: It's Charlene...
LOU: Well, what about her?
MADGE: She was too proud to say anything...I think the going's pretty tough for them up there. It was pretty obvious when I was staying with them.
LOU: In what way?
MADGE: Well, they're going to be pretty strapped for money if Charlene has to give up her job to look after the baby. They don't know how they're going to manage, they're worried sick.
LOU: And you want to give her a loan, right? Well, that's OK by me, love. You know I'd do anything for Charlene, she's a great kid.
MADGE: No, Lou, it's not just money. I've realised something else. Just how much I miss her. What I really want to do is sell up.
LOU: Sell up?!
MADGE: Yes, sell the house, the Coffee Shop, the car yard. Lou, I want to go back to Queensland.
Lou is speechless!
