Carly Beaker : I never forgot my little Tracy. I thought about you every single day.
Tracy Beaker : I thought of you too.
Carly Beaker : Really?
Tracy Beaker : Every minute when I was little... Waiting for you to come back for me.
Carly Beaker : Tracy, I...
Tracy Beaker : Then, when I was older. I used to be scared you'd come back when I was at school and they wouldn't tell me. I didn't like being scared so I got angry with them.
Carly Beaker : I wanted to come back.
Tracy Beaker : Then why didn't you?
Tracy Beaker : Was it my fault? Was I too naughty?
Tracy Beaker : Don't be angry.
Carly Beaker : You actually think I wanted to leave you in that place?
Tracy Beaker : No. Don't cry.
Carly Beaker : I was hardly more than a child myself when I had you. I just couldn't cope. I tried my best. You must remember how much I loved you?
Carly Beaker : You don't know what it was like having to look after someone, day and night, when everyone else was out having fun. I had no-one to help. I was young... I needed some life for myself - that doesn't make me a bad mother.
Carly Beaker : If I could... I'll go back to when you were little and do it better But I can't. Can you forgive me?
