• Maggie: What if walking away if the only way to save it?
• Maggie: Oh... I know it's only my dream, but...
• Maggie: ...please help me grandpa.
• Bill: Then I would say it's not worth saving - not of the expense of your integrity, anyways.
• Maggie: Grandpa, this was our dream, your lifelong passion.
• Maggie: Heck, it was my HOME growing up. It's where I learned to love film.
• Bill: If something's important enough, you'll find a way...

• Maggie: Don't thank me yet - I have a favor to ask.
• Maggie: I've been running the numbers and this theater has another act left in it yet.
• Charles: Not, if that cineplex opens, it doesn't.
• Maggie gives another paper.
• Maggie: Idle rumors. This town can't support a theater of that size, and besides, people love this place.
• Maggie: All it needs is a new line of credit to update a few things, modernize a bit.
• Charles: I thought you were going to sell the theater?
• Maggie: My grandfather never gave up on his dream... It's up to me to keep it alive.
