Lizzie: Why didn’t you just say, when I was rambling on and on? Why didn’t you just say it was you in that TV series?
Robin: Well – I dunno. It was just nice, really, listenin’ to you talk about it…
Lizzie: I didn’t know you’d done any acting. Well – to be honest, I don’t know much about you at all. You must have been very young when you did that series – you’re not that much older than me, are you?
Robin: I was ten – well, I turned ten halfway through filmin’, that’s how I got me pendant, the cast an’ crew had it made for us as a birthday present.
Lizzie: How lovely! It must mean a lot to you, if you’re still wearing it after all this time. You must have happy memories of it.
Robin: It was the best time I can remember in my life…
Lizzie: Robin, are you okay?
Robin: Yeah. I just don’t want to talk about it.
Lizzie: Oh – well, okay!
Robin: Look how little your hand is, Lizzie…
Lizzie: Robin, do you have a lot of happy memories of being in the band?
Robin: Nah…ah, Lizzie, look at that rain!
Robin: It’s not goin’ te stop, is it? It’s gonna rain all day…
Lizzie: Not planning on going out, were you?
Robin: Ah no, I don’t even feel up to goin’ out – it just gets me down… your Tom will be out workin’ in this. I couldn’t stand it, me.
Lizzie: The weather doesn’t bother Tom.
Robin: Lizzie, when I’m better, will you show us round the village properly? I haven’t seen all that much of it yet.
Lizzie: Well of course I will! I would like to. You’ll like living here, Robin, when you get to know everyone – I know you will.
Robin: I thought I wanted to be on me own, but I can’t manage, and anyway I don’t like it.
Robin: It’s been so nice bein’ here, an’ havin’ people to talk to, people who are – just people who are there for you.
Lizzie: Well, we’ll always be here for you.
Robin: Lizzie, I hope you don’t mind if I ask you this –
Robin: – but would it be OK for me to give you a hug?
Lizzie: Well – yes, if you want to!
Robin: Ah, you’re so sweet, Lizzie – if I ever had a girlfriend, I would want her to be just like you.
