No.22
Danni is sewing and chatting to Lou. Lou asks Danni if she really wants to work at the newspaper when she could be sewing and designing.
LOU: Are you sure you're doing this for the right reasons?
DANNI: What?
LOU: Look, I don't want to be hard on you, love. But I know you like the sweet smell of success, don't you? Isn't this a case of, if Libby can do it, I can do it, only better?
DANNI: No!
LOU: Come on, Danni. I understand the competitive streak, I've got it myself.
DANNI: Well, what's wrong with that?
LOU: Nothing, nothing. So long as you don't let it run your life at the expense of other people. And Libby has worked hard on her photography. It's a big thing. How do you think she's going to feel if you just cruise in on a whim and take it away from her, eh?
Danni looks conflicted.
LOU: Well, it's up to you, I suppose. But one thing I've learnt in life, love, some successes are just not worth the price.
