Sally Rayburn : There are parts of Miami when there's a super moon the water rises up through the storm drains in the streets. It just rises up. Can't stop it. The water. It's gonna keep coming. And there's nothing we can do about it. It takes whatever it wants.
John Rayburn : What are you talking about?
Sally Rayburn : The sea, it takes everything. My children. My home.
[sobbing]
Sally Rayburn : I can't even sell it now.

Sally Rayburn : I'm done, all right? Oh, I was done the moment I had you boys. When Danny was born I mean, you hardly know what's going on with the first one, but even then I could I could see he was lost. He was so beautiful. Like Robert. Long and lean. But I could see he'd never find his way. So, I held him close. As close as I could. I thought maybe if I loved him enough, he'd be okay.

Sally Rayburn : This house, this home. All these years, whenever I thought about my family or the blessings I've been given, I I saw this house, not the people. Not your parents or your aunt and uncles. Not even me or your grandfather. I saw a building. Not the family. I saw a symbol of the Rayburn family. And that's wrong. I don't want you all to try to hold on to it. Or all the sorrow that it's brought on. You're free of all that. So I'm selling the inn, and I'm giving the money to my grandchildren.
