Sherry Hursey: Ruth Miller

Quotes 

• Ruth Miller : You know, I remember when your Dad left and... I was so hurt and... angry. Let me tell you about angry! And yet, I - I hid it inside, because I thought if you saw that, I'd lose you too. You'd tell me you wanted to live with... And then one day we were... driving back home from one of your ballet classes - you must have been seven or eight - and you said "Are you all right, Mommy?"... and for some crazy reason I told you...

  [shakes her head] 

  Ruth Miller : I told you how lonely I was, and... how afraid, and... I will never forget what you said. You said "I'm scared too, Mommy, but... isn't it better being scared together?"

  Amy Miller : [shakes her head]  God, I said that?

  [sniffles, sighs] 

  Amy Miller : I was smart, huh?

  [smiles tearfully] 

  Ruth Miller : You still are.

  [nods] 

  Ruth Miller : Look, I just wanted to say that whatever it is that's eating you up, Amy, I wish you could just tell me. Talk to me about it.

  Amy Miller : Thanks.

  [voice thick:] 

  Amy Miller : But everything is fine.
