Dialogue[]

Ben Mitchell: You said that it was different with us, right? Wouldn't have mattered what I said to you anyway because you wouldn't have believed me. You always had me down as a drama queen then. When I was dancing around a CD player as a kid listening to them musicals. […] Maybe you can't make sense of it all because what's the problem. I could just give him a slap tell him to behave.

Phil Mitchell: I 've never said that. […]

Ben: Why did I do all them drugs, go to them parties. What do you think? I did it because when I did, I didn't have to think about anything else. That answer your question? […] Just forget about it. Move on that's what we're doing it. Your problem, you sort it you go to the pub. If you can't sort it you go to the pub anyway. You get hammered. You forget about it the next day. You move on. I can't forget it. I can't move on. Trust me, I've tried but I can't forget that I was…raped. I was like you before and I walked out there I said that can't have happened to me but it did. It did happen to me and I feel stupid and weak. Should we just go to the pub or pretend that it never happened? […]

Phil: You're not stupid…

Ben: Leave it okay.

Phil: …and you ain't weak.

Ben: Do you ever get this…

Phil: If anyone is stupid and weak, it's me.

Ben: I want you to go.

Phil: Ben, you say that I don't listen to you. I only hear what I want to hear. Now you're doing the same. You're not listening to me, are ya? […] You're right. I didn't want to hear it because I didn't even wanna think about it. It was a bit like when you were a kid with Stella. […] I didn't want to know about it then either because I couldn't handle it. […] I looked away even though I knew there was someone going on. I took the easy way out but I'm listening now. I am listening now and I believe you. I believe that you were raped. There's nothing I'm not gonna do about that now. I should have been there for you. I should have stood up for you. I didn't and I'm sorry.

Ben: I thought you'd be ashamed of me.

Phil: A coward assaulted and took advantage of your mum and she couldn't do anything about it either could you. Do you think for one moment that I've been ashamed of her. [...] Don't say what I said before that it's different because you're a bloke […] It ain't. If anyone should feel ashamed it's me. […] Ben, I love you. you're my son and I love you. Promise me whatever happens… From now on whatever it is you'll tell me about it. You promise me that I'll be the very first person that you tell. I promise you that I won't do what I've been doing up till now. I will listen to you and I'll be there for you. I'll look out for you. I promise you I won't let you down.
