Awakenings

Mrs. Lowe:
My son is in pain! Please, stop this!

Dr. Sayer:
He's fighting, Mrs. Lowe.

Mrs. Lowe:
He's losing.

Beth:
Miriam! I have to take your blood pressure!

Miriam:
I've been sitting still for 25 years. You missed your chance.

Mrs. Lowe:
When my son was born healthy, I never asked why. Why was I so lucky? What did I do to deserve this perfect child, this perfect life? But when he got sick, you can bet I asked why! I demanded to know why! Why was this happening?

Dr. Sayer:
I'm sorry, if you were right, I would agree with you.

Lucy:
I can't imagine being older than 22. I've no experience at it. I know it's not 1926. I just need it to be.

Margaret:
Miriam, there's no easy way to tell you this, so - your husband - he was granted a divorce from you in 1952.

Miriam:
Oh, thank God!

Dr. Sayer:
You'd think all of these "atypical" somethings would add up to a typical something.

Dr. Sayer:
You told him I was a kind man. How kind is it to give life, only to take it away?

Eleanor:
It's given to and taken away from all of us.

Dr. Sayer:
Why does that not comfort me?

Eleanor:
Because you are a kind man. Because he's your friend.

Leonard Lowe:
It's quiet.

Dr. Malcolm Sayer:
Yes, everybody's sleeping.

Leonard Lowe:
I'm not.

Dr. Sayer:
Where are my glasses?

Eleanor:
They're on your face.

Leonard Lowe:
Hello. My name is Lenord Lowe. It has been explained to me that I've been away for a long time.I'm back.

Dr. Malcolm Sayer:
She borrows the will of the ball.

Nurse Beth:
Dr. Sayer

Dr. Sayer:
What is it?

Nurse Beth:
It's a f***ing miracle
