P: So Lin, do you fancy getting married?
L: I’d love to get married. I love you and Heather loves having you around. Plus you’re a great father figure, which is important.
P: True but that’s not why I want to get married.
L: Oh, is that so?
P: No, well yes, I mean just because you’re pregnant by me doesn’t mean that we have to get married, it’s the proper thing to do. That’s what happened to you with Mel. You were thrown into something.
L: Yeah but so why do you?
P: Most importantly I love you with all my heart and soul.
L: Sounds worthy ok then, “Yes”.
(Paul rummages around in the console and presents Linda with a ring)
P: Then I suppose you should wear this.

P: Patti, we’re back!

L: Thanks so much for keeping an eye on her.
Patti: You’re welcome, bye.

P: We should catch some shut-eye too.
