- Quotes
Elizabeth Davidson: I think it's best you don't come to visit me again.
Irwin 'Skippy' Handelman: Why not?
Elizabeth Davidson: Irwin, you have parents. I'm sure you're very important to them. I have my own life too.
[shrugs and grins awkwardly]
Elizabeth Davidson: I can't just become a mother like that, it's not that easy. It would be very disruptive for both of us, do you understand what I'm saying?
Irwin 'Skippy' Handelman: Yeah, I understand. You don't want me.
[he starts walking for the door]
Elizabeth Davidson: [frustrated] Do you have any idea how painful it is seeing you again? It took me fifteen years to get my life together again and you just want to rip it apart again. What do you want from me?
Irwin 'Skippy' Handelman: I want to know how you could do it. How could you? How could you just give me away?
Elizabeth Davidson: It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
Irwin 'Skippy' Handelman: But you still did it!
Elizabeth Davidson: I wanted you to have a good life. I couldn't give it to you.
