"Morning all, TOM!!"
"Don't tell me you forgot as well! What a birthday this is!"
"Oh Tom, I'm so sorry.."
"I HATE you all!! This is my biggest birthday and you ALL forget it!!"
"I'm sorry Tom, really I am, but the wedding..."
"I wish you were never getting married...its all you talk about, its all anyone talks about round here!"

"Dad...I can't believe I forgot! Oh, no, I, po-or T-om..."
"Hey, hey, Laura don't cry."

"Harry!! Harry....I can't believe it. I'm such an awful person."
"Come here, don't be silly."
"Do-on't la-ugh at me."
"I'm not, look, we'll go and buy him something, it'll be fine..."
"Oh Harry, things like this didn't happen when Mum was here...I miss her."

In a cell a familiar but forgotten women lies on her bed:
"I wonder how he is?"
"Who?"
"My son Tom, its his birthday today....."
"Oh Maria, you should have told me...."

"Its ok, I don't like talking about them...reminds me of what I'm missing."
"You shouldn't think like that! You might be out soon, I bet you anything that they find that Arnold Sothersby guilty of deception and you'll be out."
"I really hope so Rita, I really do but I'm not hoping to much.."
"Oh C'mon, at least at the re-trial you'll get to see you family! That's something good to think about."

"I haven't told them."
"You what!? Maria! Don't you want the support."
"Oh Rita, there's no use trying to make it out different than it is. I won't get out and if they're there it'll just upset them. And God knows, Laura must be stressed anyway due to the wedding...I can't put them through anymore."
"Well, what about Geoff?"
"NO! He left me to rot here....he's not coming anywhere near me. I..."
"What?"
"I just miss my kids that's all..."
"Oh Maria, I do to...you learn to live with it....come here."

"Growing spurt! You ate me out of house and home before....god knows what I'll do now! Let me look at you...well, you're shaping up to be a very attractive young man."
"MUM!"
"What? Am I not allowed to say my son's good looking."
"NO! Its embarrassing."
"Oh dear...you're all too grown up, I don't like it...I'm getting left behind!"

"Everything alright while I was away mother?"
"Oh yes dear, fine, well apart from the kitchen. I've done some cleaning but I couldn't get the smoke out of the wallpaper."
"Mother! I didn't expect you to do that."
"Well I didn't spend long dear. Daniel's been showing me how to play this game.....Zombie Death Match....its very good fun. Look, you just shoot them and off pops their head...no wonder the young these days are all at their computers."
"Umm...yes...ok..."
"Oh and Penelope dear."
"Yes?"
"I'm going to get my hair cut this afternoon...can you run me down to the hairdressers?"
"No problem...give me a shout when your ready."

"Kate, you might be my saviour! I'm sure she needs help, she may not want it, but she definately needs it. With Maria not here she's trying to go it alone...she hasn't even got a hen night planned!"
"Harry....I don't think you've got a stag night planned either....I'm officially taking over."
"Oh, Marc, no, its ok. I don't want a stag do."
"HELL you don't! I'm giving you one, whether you like it or not!!"
