Seems like we both had something to get out of our system.

[JUDITH IS SHEEPISH]

JUDITH:

Never again. (A REFLECTIVE BEAT) Was just a moment of madness...

Trying to re-live what I missed out on, before I got... busy. Find the wild

young thing I once was. (SOBERING) All gone now, eh?

MICK:

Never...

[HE PUTS HIS ARM AROUND HER]

MICK:

Just to say thanks.

JUDITH:

What for?

JANE:

Everything.
