"All of us, you know, we have affinities for people. We like certain people. you like certain people, right?

Sometimes.

You don't like others. And you don't know why you're attracted to some people and not others, the only thing you know is - you either are attracted or you're not. It's like physics - bouncing off each other like pin balls.

yeah but... Not everything's as simple as a bunch of pin balls reacting off each other.

Some things don't even react. But everything's alive."


"I don't know what I want. How could I know what I want if I say yes to everything?"


"My angel, flung out of space..."


"Dearest. There are no accidents and he would have found us one way or another. Everything comes full circle. Be grateful it was sooner rather than later. You'll think it harsh of me to say so, but no explanation I offer will satisfy you. Please don't be angry when I tell you that you seek resolutions and explanations because you're young. But you will understand this one day. And when it happens, I want you to imagine me there to greet you, our lives stretched out ahead of us, a perpetual sunrise. But until then, there must be no contact between us. I have much to do, and you, my darling, even more. Please believe I would do anything to see you happy, so I do the only thing I can – I release you.”


“Hello? Carol? I miss you... I miss you.”


“I should go.

No, no, you don't.

I do."


"May I speak? I won't deny the truth of what's contained in those tapes.

This is off the record, honey.

Might as well be on the record. Harge. I want you to be happy. I didn't give you that. I failed you. We both could have given. More. But we gave each other Rindy, and that's the most breathtaking, the most generous of gifts. So why are we spending so much time trying to keep her from each other. What happened with Therese, I wanted. And I will not deny it or say that I... but I do regret, and I grieve for the mess we're about to make of our child's life. We, Harge we are both responsible. So I think we should set it right. Now I think that Harge should have custody of Rindy.

Could I suggest that let's take a break,folks?

No, Fred. Let me speak. Because if you don`t... I won't be able to cope. Now I'm no martyr. I have no clue what's best for me. But I do know. I feel it in my bones what is best for my daughter. I want visits with her, Harge. I don't care if they're supervised. I just want them to be regular. There was a time when I would've done most anything. I would've locked myself away to keep Rindy with me. But what use am I to her, to us, living against my own grain. So that's the deal. I won't, I cannot negotiate anymore. You take it or leave it. But if you leave it, we go to court. And when we go to court, it would get ugly. And we're not ugly people, Harge.”
