Dolores: "He [John F. Kennedy] sat down. He took my hand. And it was the first time, since I knew my babies were gone, that I thought it was possible, just possible, to go on."
Dolores: "I'm afraid you're all just gonna disappear."
Nora: "It [the story] was about you and them. Annie, Joseph and Dan. I thought that you wanted to be with them. That's why you tried... and if it had worked, if you did die, you couldn't get to Heaven, Mommy. And that's where they are. And that's where we'll be, me, Daddy, Liam and May. We'll all be there except you. So you can't die. You can't leave us."
Nora: "No, Mom. You can't just leave."
Nora: "How did you.."
Martin: "We're not going to disappear."
Dolores: "You don't know that. No one can know that."
Dolores: "Oh, darling, I'm not going to die. I'm not going to leave you."
Dolores: "Honey, we've been talking about my going home for a long time. I was just afraid."
Nora: "Afraid of what?"
Dolores: "Oh.. getting sick again, letting you down."
Dolores: "Get better?"
Nora: "Are you better?"
Dolores: "Ahh, well they tried this and that. But you know what I really believe. It was you. It was you and those Maple Creams. I kept them for the longest time. I wouldn't let anyone have any. I just kept thinking about how you looked that day, standing there holding the box with the little red ribbon. When I did decide to have one, it was around Easter and you know what?"
Nora: "What?"
Dolores: "I didn't like it. I hated the taste."
Nora: "But they're your favorite."
Dolores: "I know. I couldn't believe I'd ever liked them. I can't explain it. For the longest time I was someone who loved Maple Creams, adored them. And then all of a sudden, I was someone else and I have no idea who."
Nora: "I know who you are."
Dolores: "Do you?" (hugs Nora)
