    • Quotes
      • Ian Wyndham: I love you.
      • Samantha Andrews: Ooh, I love you too.
      • Ian Wyndham: I wanna tell you why I love you.
      • Samantha Andrews: It's... It's raining. You know that, right?
      • Ian Wyndham: I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear... Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed... and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha, if not for today, if not for you, I would never have known love at all... So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be loved.
      • Samantha Andrews: I don't know what to say.
      • Ian Wyndham: You don't have to say anything... I just wanted to tell you.
