Amantha Holden:
As long as I can remember, I've had to follow you around, mom. Literally. Couldn't have started out that way. You must have come to me at some point, when I was in my crib. And even when I got you to stop and look at me, to acknowledge my existence, I still couldn't tell what you were thinking. Or feeling. So I always felt like I had to guess, or fill in the blanks, or push for some clue, until you would just get mad at me.

Janet Talbot:
I'm sorry, honey. I really am.

Amantha Holden:
And I know that's your nature, mom. Just like it's Daniel's to be so [sighs] maddeningly private. But because it's not my nature, or because I don't always read between the lines, or understand that language, or because I want people to speak to me in my language sometimes, that does not make me the bad guy.

Janet Talbot:
No, it doesn't. Quite the opposite.
