Gerald Lucas:
[Opens door] Oh, Melinda.

Nancy Lucas:
Is she here? Where's Sam? Where did you send him?

Melinda Gordon:
I don't know.

Nancy Lucas:
Oh terrific! The boy can't remember a damn thing and now he's out wandering all alone. Do you really think that's what he needs?

Melinda Gordon:
No, actually, I wanted him to stay.

Nancy Lucas:
What are we supposed to do now?

Melinda Gordon:
I have no idea. But if he ever gives you a second chance I hope you don't blow it like you did the first time.

Gerald Lucas:
I beg your pardon?

Melinda Gordon:
I know what it's like to lose someone, and to not know if it's for good. I *know* that impulse to do everything humanly possible - just to get them back. Sometimes impulses are wrong.

Nancy Lucas:
Are you a parent?

Melinda Gordon:
No. And I'm not a doctor either. But believe me when I say that you have to start preparing yourself for the fact that your son may never remember who he was...

Gerald Lucas:
Look, Miss Gordon...

Melinda Gordon:
...and you should be grateful for that, you know why? Because you'll actually *have* a son. At some point he's going to need his family and he *will* call. But all he's going to remember is who you are now, so wouldn't you want that to be a good thing?

Nancy Lucas:
What is that supposed to mean exactly?

Melinda Gordon:
You've held on to your children so tight that you've lost them both. But there is still time to maybe get them back - but not if you keep making the same mistakes.
