"It doesn't matter to me whether they know or not..." "They love her." "She's a handcapped person, Margaret," "Jesus, I thought we were through with this." "Just because she isn't normal, Roy, doesn't mean she's consigned to a life of loneliness." "She mustn't be made to accept less from life just because she isn't like you or me." "If she has a baby, she'll drop it, she'll lose it!" "she'll be living with the grandmother." "Who's going to take care of her when we're gone, Roy?" "If they don't know.." "If they don't know, and they find out, they could institute legal action, do you think she'll survive the shock of that?" "You haven't been here, honey, you haven't seen... she's blossoming." "Maybe the doctors were wrong about how much she can develop." "Wrong?" "Yes!" "Why can't we hope for once instead of dreading everything." "I'm calling a taxi and I'm getting on a plane." "Right now!" "Please don't." "this is lunacy!" "They have something precious, the two of them, a deep well of feeling, something we never had." "I thought we did." "Well..." "I'm sorry." "What are you sorry for?" "Us." "...Listen to reason." "Please." "No." "What?" "I said no, Roy." "Reason is what's wrong with us." "Reason is..." "Don't come here, we won't be here." "Why?" "What?" "We'll be gone." "Gone where?" "I love you." "Gone where?" "Hello?" "Clara?" "Darling?" "Ah..." "AH..." "Ah..." "Luce!" "Tesoro mio" "I came to say addio." "Addio?" "You cannot marry me." "Of course I can." "Papà was being foolish." "It isn't that." "What?" "What then?" "Something is wrong." "What?" "I don't know." "Something is very wrong, and I'm sorry." "I would fix it if I could, knew how." "I can't." "You must not love me, I'm sorry." "I am not sorry." "You should be." "No." "Yes." "You will be disappointed in me." "How would I be disappointed?" "You just don't see me." "The day we meet," "The way you lean against the wind," "And do not know that you are beautiful," "Or that anyone is watching you," "This is what I see." "And I notice how you hunger for surprise," "And do not think that you are tall enough," "Like you're standing on a mountainside alone," "This is what I see." "Ohhh..." "You're not alone."
