ELI But what about ... school ?
SOPHIE I can ’ t leave you now ... not like this . College can wait .
ELI But you ’ ll ... fall ... behind .
SOPHIE I took a leave of absence . The university understood my situation .
ELI Your education is more important ... than taking care of me .
SOPHIE You ’ re eating through a straw . I ’ m not going anywhere .
DR . REMINGTON Acting as a caregiver isn ’ t an easy job .
SOPHIE I ’ m aware , but I am willing to make the sacrifice .
