Lou has come to tell Cheryl that her kids are walking all over her. He knows what pressure Cheryl is under, but she shouldn't give up her own life to please her kids. In five years, they'll be grown up and gone and Cheryl will be left on her own.
LOU: You're entitled to a life of your own. A life, hopefully, that includes seeing me.
CHERYL: I can imagine how they'll react to that, especially Danni! On the other hand...maybe they don't need to know.
LOU: Eh?
CHERYL: Well, they can't get upset over something they don't know about, right?
LOU: Are you suggesting we don't tell them?
CHERYL: Mmm- hmm.
LOU: That we...sneak around behind their backs like a couple of love- sick teenagers whose parents don't approve?
CHERYL: Mmm- hmm! Not forever. Just long enough for them to calm down and get to know you properly, so they don't feel threatened by you.
Lou isn't sure, but agrees to go along with it.
CHERYL: Besides, what's wrong with acting like a couple of love- sick teenagers? Might be fun!
They laugh and hug.

JULIE: We can't stay, as tempting as it sounds.
PHIL: Why not? Give me one good reason. Apart from the kids, the dog, the house and the business.

PHIL: Good reason. Still, maybe we've seen the last of him.
JULIE: Why do I find that hard to believe?
