(Dad to his daughter)"You remember the first time you went in the pool? ... You probably don't. You were two. Peter was scared to death the first time he went in. He screamed and cried so much. He didn't stop...Not you. You were fearless... You were amazing. You came in with me and almost immediately started laughing...and playing and splashing around. You just had this confidence. It wasn't just the pool...you just had this---trust--- in things, people, and the world.It was who you are. No fear...God I loved it. I was so proud of you.. . 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."

No matter how old a girl is, she is a creature that needs trust and understanding. Even if she is born strong and independent, her heart will only be softer and more eager to be loved and understood. Annie just happened to trust the wrong person, until later she was still worried that the bad person wanted him to be okay. Love, is it so simple, Little Annie. However, no matter what the parents did afterwards, she was very thankful that she had a pair of parents who really loved her. The last words of her father made the girl realize that she was loved. She really just yearns for warmth and love.

On Lens, I saw a special interview with people like pedophiles, and some people do not constitute a crime at all and do not involve morality. In fact, I think that every kind of life is not easy. We have lived our own so we can't understand others. Seventy percent of them have had shadows in childhood, so they will have this criminal quirk in adulthood. Should we reflect on the inadequacy of social and family systems? I can only evaluate objectively from the perspective of a bystander. The only thing I can do is to give the people around me the most warmth and care.

Annie, I wish you happiness.

Trust quotes

  • Gail Friedman: We can't control what happens to us or our loved ones. What happens when Annie goes to college?

    Will: What are you saying?

    Gail Friedman: People get hurt. There's only so much we can do to protect ourselves, our children. The only thing we can do is be there for each other when we do fall down to pick each other up.

  • Will: Even if he was in jail I wouldn't be happy.

    Gail Friedman: Why?

    Will: Because it would still want to rip his fucking head off.
