- [Megan is discussing who will look after her cat Pete after she is dead]
- Megan Roach: You like cats, don't you, Charlie?
- Charlie Fairhead: I like Pete.
- Megan Roach: Good. Then he can live with you when I'm gone.
- Charlie Fairhead: Does he get a say in this?
- Megan Roach: Oh, very much so. He has particularly asked for a nurse. About my age. Single. Looking for companionship - maybe a little more. Oh, and he also wants that ingrained smell of antiseptic from someone who's worked in hospitals all their life. Someone sensitive, gentle. The best friend anyone could ever have.
- Charlie Fairhead: He's got a lot to say for himself, Pete.
- [Megan's suicide note, intercut with scenes of A&E doctors trying to resuscitate her]
- Megan Roach: [voiceover] Dearest Charlie. When you read this I will be gone. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. And don't feel in any way that you've let me down, because you didn't. The cancer has metastasised to my brain. Now, you know me, Charlie - I embrace life and everything it throws at me, and I always have. But this final adventure is just one I would rather skip. So please forgive me cutting out early. Life has been good to me, but I know when my luck's run out and it's time to call it a day. I'm going while *I'm* still in control and while I've still got *some* dignity. Because I'm a rotten patient, Charlie, and nobody, absolutely nobody, deserves to have to nurse me. Your friend, always, Megan.
- [Lily, Megan's health care assistant, is pregnant]
- Lily Knowles: Will you be... the godmother?
- Megan Roach: Could I be... the *fairy* godmother instead?
- Megan Roach: [Despite being pregnant, Lily lights up a cigarette] Ooh come on, you shouldn't be doing that in your condition.
- [Lily places her cigarettes and lighter in front of Megan and smokes out of the window whilst Megan waits a moment then takes one of Lily's cigarettes and tries to light it. After a short while, Lily comes over and helps her light it]
