- [Martin and Louisa are sharing a bottle of wine at his house. Rather sheepishly, he explains that he doesn't normally drink alcohol because it makes him fall asleep]
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: [looking into Louisa's eyes] You're so beautiful. You're so very beautiful - d'you know that? All I think about, every day, is just catching a glimpse of you.
- [they lean across the table and kiss]
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: [whispers] Oh, Louisa!
- Louisa Glasson: [whispers] Shhh. Don't spoil it.
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: I love you. I love you.
- Louisa Glasson: Martin, this bloody table's in the way.
- [Louisa stands up, about to come round the table to give Martin a cuddle. Martin falls forward onto the table, fast asleep]
- Louisa Glasson: Underneath the gruff, monosyllabic, well-meaning but rude person, you're... gruff, monsyllabic, and, well, rude.
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: What about well-meaning?
- Louisa Glasson: Martin, there are twenty things about you that are crap.
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: Thank you.
- Louisa Glasson: But if you were a stick of rock, you'd be Martin Ellingham all the way through.
- [last night, while drunk, Martin Ellingham told Louisa Glasson that he loved her - and then he passed out]
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: I embarrassed myself.
- Louisa Glasson: No you didn't embarrass yourself. And I'm really glad that you said what you said. I just wish I'd had chance to say that I do too. I love you too.
- [Martin stares at her]
- Louisa Glasson: What?
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: Love is...
- Louisa Glasson: What?
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: It's a difficult word when you think that we don't actually know each other that well.
- Louisa Glasson: Martin, we've known each other quite a while now.
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: Strictly speaking, for you to say you love me when you can't possibly know that you do is... potentially... delusional.
- Louisa Glasson: Oh!
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: There are certain quite well-known disorders where a person falls, without good reason, for someone else and believes that they love them.
- Louisa Glasson: [gobsmacked] Pardon?
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: De Clerambault's Syndrome, for instance. Also known as erotomania. More common in women. They fall for a man of higher social standing.
- [the camera starts to track back to an aerial shot of the bay]
- Louisa Glasson: Martin! What the hell are you talking about?
- Dr. Martin Ellingham: Delusional romantic attachments. Often associated with an excessive intrusiveness into the life of the object of the irrational affection. Stalking, if you like.
- [Louisa slaps Martin's face. The credits roll]
