Amy Abbott : What's it like? Having a dad who's famous.
Ephram Brown : Oh. It's like this: You're eight years old. He misses your birthday party. You wanna cry about it but he's on TV that night for separating the heads of Siamese twins. You're ten. He's not there to see you in the school play. He is however in the New York Times for restoring the vision of a five-year-old kid. I think he was my dad's excuse for missing my elementary school graduation. You know you want to be mad at him. You wanna hate him. But you can't. He's saving lives.

Ephram Brown : [to Amy] So this is your boyfriend.
Amy Abbott : Ephram Brown, meet Colin Hart. Colin grew up down the block from me. We did everything together. He was the first boy I ever hated, the first boy I ever hit, kissed. Bright and him were best friends. They were always getting into trouble. And last Fourth of July, they decided to swipe Colin's dad's truck and go for a joy ride. Colin drove. There was an accident. Bright was thrown from the vehicle. He doesn't remember what happened. By the time the ambulance got there, Colin had fallen unconscious. He hasn't woken up ever since. Every night, I've prayed for a miracle, but nothing happens. When I heard about your dad coming to town, I thought, "Anyone could help him it would be him right?" I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, Ephram. I was gonna tell you. I just I didn't know how.
