A Simple Twist of Fate (2002)

Noah Wyle: John Carter

Quotes 

• Eleanor Carter : Your brother believed me when I told him he'd get better. It didn't matter where he was, how he felt, what the doctor said. I told him he'd get better. He died believing me.

  Dr. John Carter : No. He was pretending for you. That was another one of our secrets. I was supposed to not let you be sad. I was supposed to make you forget. To make you happy. He made me promise to make you happy... I'm sorry, Mom.

  [they hug] 

  Eleanor Carter : I love you. Do you hear me? I love you.

• Dr. John Carter : [When Eleanor leaves the room after Mickey starts vomiting blood]  Mom, what are you doing?

  Eleanor Carter : I can't. Please, take care of him...

  Dr. John Carter : No, the only reason I'm here is 'cause you asked for my help.

  Eleanor Carter : I can't see him in that kind of pain, not again...

  Dr. John Carter : What did you expect?

  Eleanor Carter : I don't know.

  Dr. John Carter : You cannot get this kid's hopes up and then leave.

  [as Eleanor heads for the elevator] 

  Dr. John Carter : You're really going to do this? You're gonna drag me back here and then bail when it gets too tough? The kid does not think he'll have to go through this alone again. Don't leave him!
