CHERYL: You just can't stop loving me just like that, I'm still the same person!
LOU: That's just it, Cheryl. I don't think you are.

Lou is having a quiet sit down when Cheryl comes round. He lets her in, saying there is something he wants to talk to her about.

CHERYL: What?
LOU: Louise. I'd like to have some papers drawn up regarding access.
CHERYL: She's your daughter, you can see her whenever you want to see her. Come and visit her, play with her...
LOU: No. I want to see Louise, not you. We'll work different shifts at the pub, and whoever's not working takes her.
CHERYL: If that's what you want.
LOU: That's all I have to say.
CHERYL: I haven't said my piece yet. Lou, you can't seriously be thinking about throwing away the years we've had together. What we had was wonderful, just think back to the way that it used to be. Now, isn't that worth fighting for?
LOU: You threw in the towel when you slept with another man.
CHERYL: If only I could go back and change things, I would. I know I've hurt you. I'll do anything that I can to make it up to you.
LOU: You can't. I can never forget what happened.
CHERYL: Yes, but...it happened under the most bizarre circumstances, it's not like I'm having an affair. Can't you forgive?
LOU: Why did you do it, Cheryl?
CHERYL: I don't know.
LOU: You don't know?!
CHERYL: I had feelings for him. I thought I did at the time. But they weren't the feelings that I have for you. It was you that I was thinking about every single minute of every day.
LOU: Somehow that makes it worse. Now, would you please leave, I think I've heard enough.
CHERYL: But you haven't heard everything, and if you're prepared to listen, then I'll tell you the full story.
