Ma: You're gonna love it.Jack: What?Ma: The world.
Ma: Ssh. Go back to sleep.Jack: Once upon a time, before I came, you cried and cried and watched TV all day, until you were a zombie. But then I zoomed down from heaven, through skylight, into Room. Whoosh-pshew! And I was kicking you from the inside. Boom, boom! And then I shot out onto Rug with my eyes wide open, and you cutt-ed the cord and said, "Hello, Jack!"
Talk Show Hostess: When he was born, did it... did it ever occur to you to ask your captor to take Jack away?Ma: Away?Talk Show Hostess: Well, to take him to a hospital, say, leave him there, where he could be found?Ma: Why... why would I do that?Talk Show Hostess: So Jack could be free. Now, this is the ultimate sacrifice, and I understand that, but did you think about him having a normal childhood?Ma: But he had me.Talk Show Hostess: Of course he did. But was that the best thing for him?
When I was four, I didn't even know about the world, and now me and ma are going to live in it forever and ever until we're dead. This is a street in a city in a country called America, and earth. That's a blue and green planet, always spinning, so I don't know why we don't fall off. Then, there's outer space. And nobody knows where's heaven. Ma and I have decided that because we don't know what we like, we get to try everything. There are so many things out here. And sometimes, it's scary, but that's okay, because it's still just you and me.
