  • (Justin Henry) "Daddy?"
  • (Dustin Hoffman) "Yeah?"
  • (Justin Henry) "I'm sorry."
  • (Dustin Hoffman) "I'm sorry too. I want you to go to sleep because it's really late."

  • (Dustin Hoffman) "Is that what you think? No. That's not it, Billy. Your mom loves you very much -- and the reason she left has nothing to do with you. I don't know if this will make sense, but I'll try to explain it to you. I think the reason why Mommy left -- was because for a long time -- I kept trying to make her be a certain kind of person. A certain kind of wife that I thought she was supposed to be. And she just wasn't like that. She was -- She just wasn't like that. I think that she tried for so long to make me happy -- and when she couldn't, she tried to talk to me about it. But I wasn't listening. I was too busy, too wrapped up -- just thinking about myself. And I thought that anytime I was happy, she was happy. But I think underneath she was very sad. Mommy stayed here longer than she wanted because she loves you so much. And the reason why Mommy couldn't stay anymore -- was because she couldn't stand me. She didn't leave because of you. She left because of me. Go to sleep now because it's really late, okay? Good night. Sleep tight."
