Taylor said, if I hadn't had cancer, I wouldn't have met you, so I'm glad I'm sick, although this sentence is a little hypocritical, but the corners of my eyes are still wet, thinking about how good I am Kate, and I envy her Everything she has, the love of everyone in the family has been given to her, she is happy, death may be a relief, in her words, she will be able to see Taylor right away. At the end, my sister said that life has to go on, and the invisible bond between us is still connected. For some reason, I think of the suicide cycle. Have you connected yourself, have you connected your family? If we live to cause trouble to others, then before we cause trouble to others, let's die. . . . . .

Jesse Fitzgerald: Jesus Christ, Anna, just tell them.
Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: You shut up.
Jesse Fitzgerald: Tell them why we're here. Tell them what we're doing here in court...
Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [cuts in] You promised me that you wouldn't do this!
Jesse Fitzgerald: God, you people are so stupid!
Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [shouts] You promised!
Jesse Fitzgerald: Kate wants to die!
Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Stop it!
Jesse Fitzgerald: She's making Anna do all this 'cause she knows she's not gonna survive another operation.
Sara Fitzgerald: [yells] That's a lie, Jesse.
Jesse Fitzgerald: Mum, no, it's not. Kate's dying and everybody knows it! You just love her so much that you don't want to let her go!
Campbell Alexander: Your Honor?
Jesse Fitzgerald: [continues] But it's time Mum, Kate's ready.

Brian Fitzgerald: She did. She told you million times, you didn't want to hear it.

[first lines]
Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: When I was a kid, my mother told me that I was a little piece of blue sky that came into this world because she and Dad loved me so much. It was only later that I realized that it wasn't exactly true. Most babies are coincidences. I mean, up in space you've got all these souls flying around looking for bodies to live in. Then, down here on Earth, two people have sex or whatever, and bam, coincidence. Sure, you hear all these stories about how everyone plans these perfect families. But the truth is that most babies are products of drunken evenings and lack of birth control. They're accidents. Only people who have trouble making babies actually plan for them.
Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I, on the other hand, am not a coincidence. I was engineered. Born for a particular reason. A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs and my father's sperm to make a specific combination of genes. He did it to save my sister's life. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Kate had been healthy. I'd probably still be up in heaven or wherever, waiting to be attached to a body down here on Earth. But coincidence or not, I'm here.
