[last lines]
Daniel : When you're at school and you want to quit, people say 'You're going to hate it out in the world.' Well, I didn't believe them and I was right. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be grown up, and they said 'Childhood is the best time of your life.' Well, it wasn't. And now, I want his company and they say, 'What's half a loaf? You're well shot of him'; and I say 'I know that... but I miss him, that's all' and they say 'He never made you happy' and I say 'But I am happy, apart from missing him. You might throw me a pill or two for my cough.'
[pauses, smiles]
Daniel : All my life, I've been looking for somebody courageous, resourceful.
[pause, thinks]
Daniel : He's not it... but something. We were something.
[pause]
Daniel : I only came about my cough.

Daniel : [baffled] Auntie...
Aunt Astrid : Still holding out on us... well, it's terribly selfish of you. You *are* going to be very, very lonely...
Daniel : I just haven't found the right person yet.
