[Sandra confronting her mother about the truth behind her father's death]
My dad. Your husband. Gordon. How did he die?
You know how he died. It was a heart attack.
Not according to this. [she shows her a death certificate] I found it amongst your things. "Carbon Monoxide inhalation." Or suicide, to be precise. So I presume that's what he shouldn't have done in the car.
You didn't find that in my things. It was in a sealed envelope. You were prying!
[angry and upset] And you've been lying! You've lied to me since I was 14. All that time, all those years, all those people I've met who must have known the truth, it makes me look like a complete idiot!
Welcome to the club.
Why didn't you tell me? Why have you never told me the truth?
He was your father.
You've had 30 years!
You loved him. How could I tell you? What good would it have done? He was your father.
