- Carly Beaker: I never forgot my little Tracy. I thought about you every single day.
- Tracy Beaker: I thought of you too.
- Carly Beaker: Really?
- Tracy Beaker: Every minute when I was little... Waiting for you to come back for me.
- Carly Beaker: Tracy, I...
- Tracy Beaker: Then, when I was older. I used to be scared you'd come back when I was at school and they wouldn't tell me. I didn't like being scared so I got angry with them.
- Carly Beaker: I wanted to come back.
- Tracy Beaker: Then why didn't you?
- Tracy Beaker: Was it my fault? Was I too naughty?
- Tracy Beaker: Don't be angry.
- Carly Beaker: You actually think I wanted to leave you in that place?
- Tracy Beaker: No. Don't cry.
- Carly Beaker: I was hardly more than a child myself when I had you. I just couldn't cope. I tried my best. You must remember how much I loved you?
- Carly Beaker: You don't know what it was like having to look after someone, day and night, when everyone else was out having fun. I had no-one to help. I was young... I needed some life for myself - that doesn't make me a bad mother.
- Carly Beaker: If I could... I'll go back to when you were little and do it better But I can't. Can you forgive me?
- Carly Beaker: I've got a cab waiting!
- Elaine Boyak: Just a few questions. Won't keep you a minute.
- Carly Beaker: What questions?
- Elaine Boyak: Before you take Tracy out we - that is, Social Services - we need to...
- Carly Beaker: Are you saying I can't take my own daughter out?
- Elaine Boyak: No... No, w-we're delighted you've popped up, a-and we hope you'll stay and... bond. Er, we just need to know where you're going.
- Carly Beaker: Why?
- Elaine Boyak: Safety guidelines. A precaution.
- Carly Beaker: She's quite safe with me, thanks.
- Elaine Boyak: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist you tell me. It's procedure.
- Carly Beaker: And what if I don't?
- Elaine Boyak: Y-you have to.
- Carly Beaker: I CAN DO WHAT I LIKE WITH MY OWN DAUGHTER!
- Elaine Boyak: Tracy is not a possession! She's a child who needs proper care!
- Carly Beaker: [Stands out and heads to the office door] You people... I should've known it was a mistake coming here! How dare you accuse and interrogate me!
