Chloe (Krysten Ritter).

I’d hold you up to say to your mother, “this kid’s gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid’s gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew.” And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilege. Then the time comes for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that! I’m always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You’re my son and you’re my blood. You’re the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain’t gonna have a life.

Collecting everything we could of theirs, the Lisbon girls wouldn’t leave our minds but they were slipping away. The color of their eyes was fading along with the exact locations… of moles and dimples. From five, they had become four, and they were all the living and the dead, becoming shadows. We would have lost them completely if the girls hadn’t contacted us.

“You can’t give up ‘cause you never know what can happen” - Mickey Ward
Terkenang bersama mengejar pelangi
Menempuhi rintangan onak berduri
Kesabaran mengiringi menanti terbitnya mentari
Telahku masih mengejar impinan ini
Harapan ku ini masih belum lagi mati
Tak mudah melupai erti perjuangan ini
Genggam tanganku
Ku bawa bangunkan kau semula
Gengamlah tanganku
ku bawa kau semula
Terkenang bersama mengejar pelangi
Menempuhi rintangan onak berduri
Percaya kata ku ini
Kan ku bawa kau kembali
Genggam tanganku
Ku bawa bangunkan kau semula
Gengamlah tanganku
Ku bawa kau semula.
