Quotes 

• Edgar Stiles : [Over the phone]  have you seen the news?

  Lucy Stiles : Yes I'm watching it now

  Edgar Stiles : Then why aren't you evacuated by now? What are you still doing home?

  Lucy Stiles : You know I don't have a car

  Edgar Stiles : Where's Margret?

  Lucy Stiles : I tried to get a hold of her but the lines are all busy, I'm surprised you got through

  Edgar Stiles : What about one of your neighbors? Can't you get a ride from one of them?

  Lucy Stiles : No, by the time I got outside they were gone

  Edgar Stiles : Listen to me, I'm going to make some calls. I'm going to try to get someone there to help you ok? I want you to sit by the phone and wait for my call, can you do that?

  Lucy Stiles : Yes, I really don't have a choice

  Edgar Stiles : I'll call you back

  Lucy Stiles : Ok honey, bye

• Lucy Stiles : [Over the phone]  hello honey

  Edgar Stiles : I've been trying, I can't get anyone out there to help you. I've done everything I could, I did

  Lucy Stiles : I'm sure you did, it's ok

  Edgar Stiles : It's not ok. The fallout is coming towards you: its fifteen miles away

  Lucy Stiles : I know, I'm watching it on the news and I know what to do

  Edgar Stiles : There's nothing you can do, you can't stuff towels under the door

  Lucy Stiles : That's not what I'm talking about doing

  Edgar Stiles : What'd you mean?

  Lucy Stiles : They've been talking about radiation poisoning on the news. That's not something I want to go through especially if there's only one way it can end. Honey, I want to end things on my terms, as opposed to all that pain and suffering

  Edgar Stiles : Mom...

  Lucy Stiles : It's the right thing to do, it's the only thing, and you know that

  Edgar Stiles : No, I don't

  Lucy Stiles : You have been a wonderful son, you've been a gift to me and your father, it's ok, I'm going to a better place, I'll see you there but not for a long time. You've got a lot ahead of you: great things

  Edgar Stiles : I'm going to get someone to you, I'll keep trying

  Lucy Stiles : You've got a very important job to do there, a lot of people are counting on you so I'm going to hang up now and I want you to know how very much I love you
