Jen and Brook are having a drink. Jen tells Brook that he's impulsive and probably still as unreliable as he used to be. Brook reckons he's a changed man, and he can still feel something between them.

JEN: Look, we had some fun times. But I need more than that now.
BROOK: What, stability? Because that's exactly where I'm coming from.
JEN: I find that hard to believe. Anyway, stability's not all I need.
BROOK: But you do need it. And er...I can dig that. I want to put down some roots, right here in Erinsborough. I'm tired of drifting.
JEN: You'd be bored in five minutes flat!
BROOK: Not with you.

He puts his hand on top of Jen's.

BROOK: I want to settle down with you, Jen.

Just then, Phil comes in and tell them they look rather serious.

BROOK: Just chill out, will you, Phil?
PHIL: No, I will not chill out. Jen, everytime I turn around you're with this bloke, are you trying to tell me something?
JEN: Philip, don't get angry. Look, I can explain to you.
PHIL: Explain what? Jen, I am sick of this. I think you've made your decision.

JEN: He's upset.
BROOK: Yeah, well, that's because he knows he's already lost.
