Jacqueline Leonard: Lorraine

Quotes 

• Lorraine : [tearful]  Everything in my life gets ruined, Nigel. I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me!

  Nigel : [comforting]  No, don't be silly. There's nothing wrong with you.

  Lorraine : Well, I'm not so sure.

  Nigel : Well, I am! I think you're wonderful.

  Lorraine : [smiles]  Thanks.

  Nigel : No, really.

  [pause] 

  Nigel : I love you, Lorraine.

  Lorraine : [shocked]  Wh... What?

  Nigel : I love you! I've been meaning to tell you for ages. I just keep losing my nerve.

  Lorraine : Nigel...

  Nigel : I'm sorry. I don't want to upset you. I just couldn't keep it to myself a moment longer. It's been going round and round in my head. I haven't been able to think about anything else for weeks.

  Lorraine : Don't.

  Nigel : I want to be with you, Lorraine! I want to take care of you. I haven't felt anything like this since Debs died.

  Lorraine : Look... Nigel, I really like you but...

  Nigel : [disappointed]  But... but not like that.

  Lorraine : I am so sorry.

  Nigel : No, no. I'm... I'm sorry. It's stupid of me to presume.

  Lorraine : No, no, it's not!

  Nigel : It is. You are much too good for me.

  Lorraine : Oh, I'm not, Nigel.

  Nigel : Well, you're beautiful. Why should you ever be interested in me?

  Lorraine : It's not you!

  Nigel : What then?

  Lorraine : There's someone else.
