Dialogue[]
Ben Mitchell: You know, I dreamt about this moment. Loads of different versions. I think about dreams. […] They twist out your control. […] This one dream, I'm battering you, right, with this iron bar. I'm really sticking it to you, there's claret everywhere…and then your face changes into Callum's. It's his face that I'm destroying.
Lewis Butler: Look I'm sorry Ben. I'm sorry it happened. I'm sorry I broke you and Callum up. […] If I could go back through that night and change how it played out I would. […] I fancied you Ben. That's not a crime. You fancied me too, but that's nothing to be ashamed. […]
Ben: Did you or did you not hear me say no? [...] Tell me what happened. […]
Lewis: We started kissing… I undid your shirt… You said you wanted to stop it. […] I ignored you and carried on.
Ben: What…did you do?
Lewis (sobbing): I raped you.

Lewis: You think I'm carefree? You think I walk around feeling good about myself? I've got demons, Ben, same as you. You know, my dad disowned me. I've been shamed. I've been beaten. I've been rejected. […] Let's not pretend you're an angel, Ben. […] I've never had a relationship like you and Callum. I've never had someone love me like that. […]
Ben: Me and Callum are over because of what you did. […] You wanted to break us up. You were jealous right from day one. […] We'd have been fine if you hadn't come along.
Lewis: Tell yourself that if you want, but you and Callum were already on the skids by the time I arrived. […] I didn't break you and Callum up - you did. It's something in you. Something dark. You and him don't belong together, because he's good and you…are bad just like me.
Notes[]
- Last appearance of Lewis Butler.
- It is implied in dialogue between Lewis and Ben that he was not Lewis' first rape victim.
