[Billy just sees Annie after 7 years]
Billy : You know what I told him? I told him that you died, that you were killed in a car wreck. That you were a tramp and we're better off without you. You're dead! Do you understand that? You're dead! The kid's got no mother!
Annie : I am his mother.
Billy : You're dead! He's got no mother!
Annie : I'm here, I am his mother.

Annie : The Champ didn't tell you?
T.J. : Tell me what?
Annie : I'm your mother.
T.J. : No, my mother's dead.
Annie : No she's not. You don't live with us, you're not married to Champ.
T.J. : She's a beautiful angel and...
Annie : No! She's not. I'm here and I love you. I love you very much.
T.J. : You don't live with us. You're not married to Champ.
Annie : No. Listen to me T.J. You don't have to live with someone to love them. I love you!
T.J. : Do you love the Champ? Do you? Do you love him? No you're not my mother.
Annie : No.
T.J. : You're not my mother.
Annie : No. No, please, listen to me. It's not that simple! T.J. listen to me.
T.J. : Go away. Please don't touch me. I don't want you, I don't want you!
Annie : Timmy!
T.J. : Go away! Go away! I told you, go away! Go away! Go away! I want Champ! I don't want you. I want the Champ! I want Champ! Champ! I want Champ! I don't want you, I want to go back to the Champ! I want Champ! Get outta here!

Annie : The Chanel revolution - gave women a total look for day and evening. And always with her perfect sense of balance and proportion.
-
Annie : The designers of the 30s rediscovered the beauty of the shape of a woman. They returned to languor, sexuality. They gave women a sense of their bodies - and draped them in satin, silk, fur, and filagree, clinging velvet, quantities of costume jewelry, sequined veils, and - feathers.
-
Annie : Vionnet was the first designer to completely master the art of the bias-cut dress. She created clothes that *clung* to the body and yet moved freely.

Annie : Billy, there are - there are different ways of loving someone. Can't we find our way?
