"We can't control what happens to us or our loved ones. People get hurt. There's only so much we can do to protect ourselves, our children. The only thing we can do is we can be there for each other when we do fall down, to pick each other up.」
"Why are you down here when you should be up there with her? You think finding this guy is more important that it's gonna make her better?"
"How could you do that to me?

I'm really sorry.

You' re sorry? Gee, Dad, thanks. That mskes everything so much better.
↓
I lost my temper. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry.
↓
Don't you get it? There's nothing anybody can say. My life is ruined.
↓
No, it's not ruined. We're going through a tough time but your life's not ruined.

We're going through a tough time? We didn't get raped. We're not the laughingstock of New Trier. I am! I got raped. Not you!

I know that.

Nothing's ever gonna be the same. I know that. But, please, can you please stop reminding me of it every second?」
「You were fearless. You were amazing. Came in with me and almost immediately started laughing and playing and splashing around. You just had this confidence. It wasn't just swimming, you just had this trust in things, people, the world. It was who you were. No fear. God, I loved that. I was so proud of it. I envied it. And I was so afraid that you'd lose it as you grew up, that confidence, that faith, but you didn't. And then I failed you. It was my job to make sure you didn't lose it, to keep you safe. What am I if I can't protect you? And to see you lose that confidence, to see you question yourself, that the idea would even occur to you to want to hurt yourself, or for you to think for one minute that you weren't as beautiful. I don't know if you can ever forgive me, Annie. I really don't know if you should,but I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I love you so much.」
