Quote context

[...]

- Why, this is the room that you...

- Do you remember, Sam?

- Do I.

- It's the only room I didn't change.

- It seems that only yesterday I came through that window. We were going to run away together that night.

- You do remember.

- Yeah.

- And it was Walter who let me in.

- I come here often, Sam.

- Little girls grow up. But they never get through playing with dolls.

- There was a storm that night, thunder and lightning. I was afraid of the thunder.

- Why, in the freight car that night, you told me you weren't.

- I didn't want you to know. I wanted to be like you, never afraid of anything.

- You remember that, too, don't you, Sam?

- Things come back to you.

- Don't say it like that, Sam. Not to make me feel good, but because it's true.
