Den: Paula. i would say your looking well but you don't. too much alcohal poisoning or let me see destroying your sons childhood.
Paula: that ain't fair. you are the one who abandoned me.
Den: you never told me you were pregnant. i look at that lad now. i see the hurt in his eyes but he is too afraid to admit it.
Paula: i never meant to hurt him
Den: what did you do to him. when he was a kid. when he lived with you
Paula: i can't
Den: tell me
Paula: [starts crying] i used to let my boyfriends hit him....badly.. he'd have all these marks and bruises over him and each time i'd still let them keep doing it to him
Den: no wonder he learned how to box. it was to protect himself.
Paula: i want to make it up to him
Den: why was he put into care
Paula:.....i.....
Den: why
Dennis: because she abandoned me for a fortnights holiday in Ibiza or somewhere like that. ain't that right mum
Paula: i'm sorry Dennis
Dennis: left me with a 4 litres of water and couple packets of stale digestive biscuits. tied to the radiators i was.
Den: Dennis...you don't have to do this not if you don't want to
Dennis: [stares at paula] Dog Controls thought it was a dog howling but it weren't. just me crying. afraid. [he starts shaking]
Den: Dennis its ok. come on home.. yeah
