Kirsten Bennett Salinger : [outside the hospital]
[Kirsten brings a cupcake to Charlie]
Kirsten Bennett Salinger : Happy Birthday.
Charlie Salinger : Yeah. You know, I was looking at Griffin lying there, lying in that bed. Not too long ago, that was me.
Kirsten Bennett Salinger : I remember.
Charlie Salinger : And I promised myself that if I ever got out of there alive, I wasn't gonna waste time on the stuff that doesn't matter. I'm gonna quit teaching, Kirsten.
Kirsten Bennett Salinger : Charlie...
Charlie Salinger : Yeah, the factory pays more, and we need that money.
Kirsten Bennett Salinger : Yeah, but you... you love the teaching better.
Charlie Salinger : That's not what matters now. What matters the most to me right now is making this baby. The rest of it... It'll come in time. Stuff I always dreamed about, the designing stuff, it'll come.
Kirsten Bennett Salinger : Are you sure?
Charlie Salinger : Yeah. The funny thing is, I am. There's just been so many times that... I mean, when Mom and Dad died and I had to put my whole life on hold. When you went away, when I got sick... I kept just having to trust fate, you know? And if I just held on, the things that I wanted would come back to me. And they always did. And they will again. If I just hold on, they will again.
