Hilary: Because I love you. And if you come back with me to the hospital and fight for us. Fight for us, I will never leave you Victor. But you have to fight. And if you get well, when you get well, I'll be there with you. And if you die, I will hold your hand. I'll hold your hand and the last thing you will ever see will be me because I love you.

Featured review
This movie is a 'sleeper' and not a box office hit, so I nearly did not get it. But I am glad that we saw it! The acting is excellent for the two lead roles: Julia Roberts and Campbell Scott (who played Hamlet and other top notches).
Julia was superb and we admired the fine acting that she did. My wife cried near the end because she herself came very close to dying of cancer (of the liver, was told she had 4 months to live - that was 6 years ago). But it was not a depressing story at all.
This is a quality film. There are no car chases, shoot-outs or cheap sex, just a good solid story by two fine actors. See it.
