Quotes 

• Alex Quinn : How long have you known about forgetting things?

  Marie Quinn : I've known for a while. I... I... I make a telephone call and I'd forget who I was talking to. Or I go... out for a walk, and I... I would get lost in my own neighborhood. It's like a window that just keeps closing a little bit, and then a little bit more. Every day. Like that.

  Alex Quinn : Well, we're not gonna let it close, okay?

  Marie Quinn : Baby, nobody stops this window. Nobody.

  Alex Quinn : We're not nobody. Okay? We... we... we fight. And I am not putting you in a nursing home. I am here for you.

  Marie Quinn : I know you are. But what happens when I'm not here for you anymore? Forgetting about your dad was bad enough. But what happens...

  [breaking down into tears] 

  Marie Quinn : ...when I forget who you are?

  Alex Quinn : You won't. You're not going to. How can you? I mean, come on. You're not gonna forget about me.

  Marie Quinn : I just don't want to live to be a burden.

  Alex Quinn : You are not a burden. You're my mother.
