  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : And he came anyway.

  Vincent : He loved her. He had no choice.

• Vincent : I watched you a moment ago with Ellie.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : My mother used to sing me that song. I haven't heard it since. I think she must have made it up.

  Vincent : No, about... how much you give to... all of us.

  Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler : To be able to give is what all of you have given to me.
