The Other Side of the Mountain

[Reflecting on her life after the loss of her fiance]

Jill Kinmont:
I try not to let it, but sometimes it all plays back in my mind, and when it does, I remember the words that Dick Buek said to me the last time I saw him: "How lucky I am to have found someone and something that saying goodbye to is so damned awful."

Jill Kinmont:
I think the hardest time is waking up in the morning... those moments before I remember who I am, and think instead about who I was.

Jill Kinmont:
[Jill laboriously picks up a potato chip from a bowl on her lap] Didn't even break. That's the hardest thing of all.

Buddy Werner:
Jill, aren't you gonna walk?

Jill Kinmont:
Walk?

Buddy Werner:
Yeah, I, I thought you were...

Jill Kinmont:
No. I'm never gonna walk.

Jill Kinmont:
Okay, that's enough!

Dick 'Mad Dog' Buek:
No, that's not enough! 'Cause I'm going to stick around here until you shape up, you understand that? I don't care if you can't ski! I don't care if you can't walk! I don't care if you crawl around like a damn lizard. You're not getting any sympathy from me.

Audra Jo Nicholson:
[Jill and Audra Jo watch skiers from their wheelchairs] What are you thinking?

Jill Kinmont:
How damn lucky I am.
