Alex: There should be a stairway down to the water, a porch, a deck. Here, you're in a - in a box. A glass box with a view to everything that's around you... but you can't touch it. No interconnection between you and what you're looking at.
Henry Wyler: I don't know, you know. He's got this big maple growing right in the middle of the house.
Alex: Containment.

Henry Wyler: Do you remembering being here with Mom?
Alex: I remember she tried to make it work here... with us... with him.

Henry Wyler, Alex Wyler
