Dialogue[]
Callum Highway: I just feel like whatever I say or do it don't feel like enough, you know. I hate that you had to go for all that without me. What I'm saying is, Ben, I don't want to fight anymore. I just want to go back to how we used to be.
Ben Mitchell: You can't make this go away.
Callum: No, no. I know that. I just feel like if Lewis never came along then maybe…
Ben: What? We would be back to living happily ever after? We fell apart long before he came along Cal, you know that. […]
Callum: Ben, we can fix us. I know that we can. […]
Ben: I know what you want. You want the Sunday afternoons in bed, picking wallpaper, fighting over rubbish telly. I wanted it and all. Trust me. It's just ain't in me.
Callum: I want you and everything that comes with it, I'll take it. I love you, Ben, and I know that you love me.
Ben: You're such a good guy. Such a good guy. You deserve someone better. All I've ever done is give you grief.
Callum: Ben, please just give us one more chance. I will do whatever it takes. […] I will do anything. Please just give us one more chance.
Ben: Lewis said to me that me and him are the same but we ain't. Because I will do the right thing even if it kills me.
Callum: Just one more chance.
Ben: Baby listen, we're out of chances. I'm sorry. It's over.
~ ~ ~ ~
Callum: All of this is my fault.
Ben : You weren't even there.
Callum: I could have stopped all of this from happening.
Ben: No, this is on me. Me... I did nothing. I just… I lay there waiting for it to be over.
