Notable dialogue[]
Marion Willis (sighs): "Eddie, it’s just that I don’t want you to feel that I’ve trapped you."
Eddie Yeats: "Trapped me?! Marion, do you know where I was eight years ago this very night? In cell 405 D Block, Her Majesty’s Prison Walton, lying in that bunk night after night not sleeping, just thinking. That’s when I felt trapped. It’s a feeling I’ll never forget the rest of me life."
Marion Willis: "Eddie…"
Eddie Yeats: "And when I was released, not a soul to meet me. I felt even more trapped. I may as well have been back inside. I had nothing. Nobody could have been more lonely. I thought I’d missed out on all this. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And you, and the baby… well that’s living. I mean, that’s life, Marion. I don’t think I could go on without you. I don’t, honest."
Marion Willis: "Oh Eddie!"
