• [first lines] 

  Doreen Burns : It wasn't like you think. Honest, Mr Fetcher.

  Jim Fletcher : [sarcastically]  No. He was just giving you mouth to mouth resuscitation.

• Doreen Burns : Bloody Fletch walked in on Mr Andrews and me.

  Lizzie Birdsworth : What do you mean walked in on you?

  Doreen Burns : Well, we were in the library together and it was... uh, really romantic, y'know? And it was just the two of us together, y'know.

  Lizzie Birdsworth : Yeah?

  Doreen Burns : I kissed him.

  Bea Smith : [finally piping up]  You what?

  Lizzie Birdsworth : Caw! Talk about a fast worker!

  Bea Smith : No doubt about you, Doreen; you're always in bloody trouble.

  Doreen Burns : No. Well the way Fletch is carrying on I reckon David's in more trouble than I am.

  Bea Smith : I'm not surprised. He'll probably lose his job over it.

  Lizzie Birdsworth : Good riddance. If he doesn't wanna teach us what we wanna know, what's he doin' here?

  Doreen Burns : It wasn't his fault. I thought I should... sort of... take me chance while I could.

  Bea Smith : Yeah. Well, okay. You got caught, didn't you? Now listen if the screws think he's to blame you let them. Tell them... he made a pass at you.

  Doreen Burns : I can't do that. He didn't do anything.

  Bea Smith : Listen, regardless of what happened to you he is gonna walk out of here as free as a bird

  Lizzie Birdsworth : Bea's right y'know love. He won't be here long anyway. I mean he's bloody useless, so what's the point in risking loss of privileges or even the pound for the likes of him?

  Doreen Burns : [shrugs]  But it wasn't his fault.
