  Amy Winslow : No! No! I was wrong, OK? I was wrong. I made a mistake. I'm so sorry.

  Joan Quinn : I loved Christopher. I did everything I could. I tried everything. I couldn't comfort him. I couldn't make him feel better.

  Amy Winslow : You tried your best.

  Joan Quinn : His little body was tight like a nut. I tried walking him. I tried rocking him. But nothing I did helped. He wouldn't stop screaming. He wouldn't stop crying. So I put him on my shoulder and I pressed him tight against me. His little face pressed up against me. He stopped. Finally, he stopped. I thought he was asleep.

  Amy Winslow : I'm so sorry.

  Joan Quinn : I couldn't save him. I tried. I couldn't save him. I didn't mean to hurt him. I thought he was asleep.

  Amy Winslow : Can I hold her please?

  Joan Quinn : [crying]  No! My baby!

  Stuart Quinn : It's all right, sweetheart.

  Joan Quinn : [crying as she reluctantly gives Emily back to Amy]  I couldn't save my baby. But my baby! I didn't mean to hurt my baby.

  Stuart Quinn : [to Joan]  Come on, sweetheart. Let's go inside.

  [Amy and Eric discuss how they will raise Emily] 

  Eric Shaw : No junk food?

  Amy Winslow : No junk food. And definitely no tattoos. You know, I mean she can have her ears pierced but that's it. Like nothing weird like her nose or anything.

  Eric Shaw : I just feel like a big nurse.

  [to Emily] 

  Eric Shaw : Look, kid, run for it! I'll cover you.

  Amy Winslow : I just want to make sure I raise her right and give her the best I possibly can.

  Eric Shaw : You will as long as I got you and you know, I'll come around and guide her cultural development.
