Quotes[]
LAM: The child… I don’t understand. You never… We couldn’t figure it out. POSIDONIA: Not my child, Lam. Yours. SOUND: A KNOCK ON THE DOOR. POSIDONIA: There. I think that’s her now. I’m… I’m sorry I’m not there with you now. Taking care of her all on your own… that has to be so hard. LAM: I’m not alone. There’s… Caroline. Right.
