• [Abby's mother has been rescued by the police. Abby still has the stamps. She goes to visit her mother in a nursing home. Her mother is filling in a competition coupon in a magazine] 

  Abby Morton : What are you trying to win?

  Paula Morton : [reading from the magazine]  "A fortnight for two at a luxury hotel in Mauritius."

  Abby Morton : Mum, you don't even have a passport.

  Paula Morton : I know, love, but you could easily get me one if I needed it, couldn't you?

  [Abby looks gobsmacked that her mother knows about her secret life] 

  Paula Morton : I might be losing my marbles, but I'm not as daft as I look.

  Abby Morton : I'd love you to get a passport. I'd love you to join me.

  Paula Morton : Where?

  Abby Morton : When I get settled somewhere.

  Paula Morton : We won't see each other again. But it's all right. I'd sooner you remembered me as I was. If you ever decide to have children, just remember. First you give 'em roots. Then you give 'em wings.

  [Abby hugs her mother] 

  Abby Morton : I love you.

  Paula Morton : I know. Go on. Go quickly. Don't look back.
