[Rodney and Del are stuck in the lift, and Del is "claustrophobic" and acting all immature.]
I never thought I'd see you like this! You're acting like a big kid just 'cos we're stuck in a lift for a while.
Yes, well you don't know how I feel! (kicks the door a couple of times) I feel... I feel sort of frightened! You don't know what that's like!
I don't know what it's like?! How do you think I've felt for the last couple of weeks since Cassie... since what happened?
I don't know, Rodney, I don't know how you've felt!
Well, I'll tell you, frightened ain't the word! Do you know what I did last night?
No, but I bet it was depressing!
I sat and read my diaries from when I was a school kid.
See, I was right!
No, not quite. I actually noticed moments of hope inside those pages - I mean there weren't many - just the occasional oasis of promise in a desert of pessimism. They were simple hopes, as you'd expect for someone of my age. I hoped for - hairs, hoped I'd do well in my exams, I even hoped for a good job when I left school.
Well, you got hairs, didn't you? Think how Right Said Fred must feel.
Me and Cass were so happy, Del. We were looking forward and all we could see in front of us was a big wide highway and we were just cruising like we were in a Rolls-Royce. And suddenly it came to a shattering halt - just like the poxy lift. Suddenly Happy Families became Dungeons and Dragons. (crying) And I've never felt sodding pain like that in all my life.
Is Cassandra hurting?
Well of course she is!
How do you know? You haven't talked to her about it.
No, and do you know why? Because... it's because... It's almost like if I don't talk about it, it might not be true.
But it is.
I know! I know. But if I don't say it...
If you don't say what?
We lost our baby!
But you did - and now you've said it.
Yeah. I've said it! You just shield yourself from it, you know. I've just been lying, ain't I?
In a way. And what about Cassandra?
Not her. Cassandra can't tell a lie.
Raquel can, the moment one leaves my lips.
[Del and Rodney both laugh.]
