James: You got to do this for me, man.

Rick: I can't.

James: Please.

Rick: Look, Phillip doesn't want to do it. He can't do it.

James: What is it with this hospital? What is it with this whole town? We just do whatever Phillip wants?

Rick: It's not that simple.

James: And now he wants to die? We're just going to let him do that, too?

Rick: He doesn't want to die, James, but he doesn't want to live at the expense of somebody else.

James: Just give me the that. How long does it take?

Rick: It doesn't... it takes 25 minutes. But it doesn't matter. I'm not going to do it because it's against hospital protocol.

James: I need to do this for my dad. Wouldn't you do this for your dad, for Ed? Wouldn't you take the test for him? I love my dad. I do. We just... I need him to know it, okay?

Emma: Natalia, is your baby going to be a boy or a girl?

Natalia: Well, I don't know yet, but we're going to find out tomorrow.

Emma: Can I feel?

Natalia: Yeah, sure.

Emma: I don't feel anything.

Natalia: Yeah, I know. The baby's been a little quiet this afternoon. Oh, you feel that?

Emma: Uh-huh. She kicks hard.

Natalia: Yeah.

Emma: It's an Emily.

Natalia: Oh, it is? All right, well, what if it's boy baby?

Emma: Nope, it's a girl.

Olivia: Yeah new life begins, old life ends.

Doris: Yeah, I heard about Phillip. I'm so sorry.

Olivia: Thank you. I guess life is full of choices and what happens after you make them.

Doris: What choice do you mean?

Olivia: I don't know. I guess I mean choosing between what you want and what's realistic.

Doris: Oh, I've had to make that one more than once.

Olivia: I mean, Phillip didn't choose to get sick. I get that. But I'm worried about Emma. I mean, she's going to grow up without her father.

Doris: And, you know, Ashlee, she's grown up without knowing who her mother truly is, so... you know, I really wish I made more risks in my life.

Olivia: Risks? Risks, well, I've taken a few of those. I haven't always liked the way it's turned out.

Doris: Yeah. Well, I haven't taken many risks. But maybe now it's... maybe now it's the time to risk everything, to reach out for what's really important.

Phillip: Why did you go against my wishes?

Rick: I knew that you would never agree to the procedure, Phillip.

Phillip: Well, then why would you let him get his hopes up?

Rick: I'm trying to talk to your son realistically.

Phillip: Oh for God's sake, Rick, he's a boy! Why would you do that to him?

Rick: Why would I do that to him, what are you doing to him? He's not a boy, Phillip! He's your son. He’s a boy trying to become a man. He put his life on the line for you, and you're just walking all over him. Again.

Phillip: I'm his father, Rick. I need to protect him.

Rick: It's not about what you need. It about what James needed. Just because you're dying doesn't mean you can control what everybody feels. Your son just wants to be a son, Phillip. Let him be your son. You never got that.
