Ben's first monologue:

"Have you ever loved someone so much, it hurts? I have. Except there was something that I hadn't been told. However much I go through it, eye still don't understand why she couldn't have told me. A year ago... everything was perfect; I still had my Amy."

Ben's second monologue:

"We'd been together six months. There wasn't anything different about her; she was still beautiful, funny, kind: she was still Amy. I had no idea what was really going on. If someone had told me the truth I would have called them a liar. A week after her hospital admission her parents finally told me the truth: when she was younger she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. They tried to explain it to me, but all I could think about was how she hadn't told me. All those hours we spent together, and she never even mentioned it. I went to visit her once, while she was in hospital, but it was like seeing a stranger. I'm still in love with her, but it's the Amy I spent those months with that I'm in love with. I don't know if she's the same person. I've spent a year without her, and now she's coming home."
