Joey and Mr. Potter in “Decisions (aka Breaking Away)”

Hi. I don't really know what I'm doing here. That's not true. Um, look, I came here tonight to say, I came here to tell you that you messed up. You really messed up. And not because you broke the law or you got caught or that you left me without a father. You messed up because you don't know me. I'm your daughter and you don't know me at all. So I guess I just came to say that I'm alright. I turned out pretty good. And I'm going to be okay, no help from you. And um I just have one question. Do you love me?

PMr. Potter

More than you'd ever know. And I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Do you think about me?

PMr. Potter

Sweetheart, all day long, everyday, every hour, every minute.

Do you really love me, though? Because I'm 15 years old and I go through every day of my life thinking that nobody loves me.

PMr. Potter

Well nothing could be further from the truth. And I'm not the only one. Dawson Leery. He loves you Joey. He's never told you?

Never.

PMr. Potter

Well, he does. I know it.

How?

PMr. Potter

Because he looks at you the same way your mother used to look at me. And you love him...Have you told him? You have to tell him Joey. Don't make my mistake. Don't wait til someone you love is eaten with cancer and wasting away while you hold back...

I love you Dad.

PMr. Potter

I love you.
