Situation: Kitty (16 ongoing 17) discovers Sarah (61) has breast cancer
Sarah (nervous): What did my test results say?
Doctor (reading Sarah's test results): According to the test results, you have breast cancer. You need chemotherapy asap.
Kitty (watery, her eyes grow big): breast cancer?!
Sarah (squeezing Kitty's hand): Just breathe and relax
Kitty (crying, she runs out of the room): Please excuse me
Sarah (follows Kitty into the hallway): KITTY
Kitty (sobbing, she sits up against the way): Our story doesn't have an happy ending
Sarah (sits down beside Kitty): Today is the day when everything changes for us. I can't change my fate or destiny. I hope you will be able to understand. We must live as if tomorrow will never come.
Kitty (rests her head on Sarah's chest): You have breast cancer. Please tell me that I am dreaming. I want to wake up from this nightmare.
Sarah (strokes Kitty's hair): Please stay strong for me, baby
Kitty (hopeful): Sometimes doctors can make mistakes. You might not have breast cancer.
Sarah: Unfortunately, the test results were one hundred percent accurate
Kitty (heartbroken): I wish I can change your fate
Sarah: You can't change my fate because I was born with it
Kitty (sobbing in Sarah's arms): Please don't leave me. I need you in my life.
Sarah (stroking Kitty's hair): I will enjoy everyday with the little time that I have left.
Kitty: You had Lymphoma when you were pregnant with me. If you could beat cancer back then certainly you can beat it again.
Sarah (laughing): Sure
Kitty: The pain, was I really worth it?
Sarah (emotional): Yes. You gave me something to live for.

Situation: Kitty has a nightmare about Sarah's death
Place: The Hospital

Kitty (in a childish tone): MOMMY! MOMMA! MOTHER! MOM!
Kyle (to Sarah): She approaches you like a little girl
Sarah (stroking Kitty's hair): She is such a child at heart
Kitty (sobbing, she holds Sarah): Please don't die. I need you to stay alive.
Sarah (touching Kitty's cheek): I love you
Kitty (holding onto Sarah even more tighter): I will never let you go. I want to rest here in your embrace forever.
Sarah: Please take care of your dad and brother for me. OK?
Kitty (sobbing): You promised you would live forever. You promised you would never leave me.
Sarah: That was then. This is now, I am dying. I am sorry to let you down, angel. I will always love you.
Kitty (still crying): I can't imagine living in a world without you. I want to die here with you.
Kyle (pulling Kitty off of Sarah): Come over here, girlie
Sarah (hyperventilating): My heartbeat is decelerating. Heaven's gates are beginning to open.
Kyle (emotional, he squeezes Sarah's hand): Please stay with me, baby
Sarah (becoming unconscious): I love you
(Sarah's heart stops beating and Kitty finds it hard to breathe. She feels as if her soul has been torn out of her body.)
Kitty (hyperventilating, she collapses to the floor): I can't breathe
Kyle (cradles Kitty): The storm will pass over soon
Kitty (gasping for breath): I am in pain. It won't get any easier or better for me. I can feel the darkness taking over me.
Derek: Who knew she would take the loss so hard?
Kyle: She had her mother's heart afterall
Kitty (hysterical, she shakes Sarah's body): Mom..Mommy...Momma..Mother wake up
John (pulling Kitty off of the body): She's gone
Kitty (pushing John away from her): Mom is not dead. She's just asleep. She will arise from her deathbed like Jesus.
Cameron: So you believe in the resurrection?
Kitty: Definitely
Cameron: Long live Sarah Connor
John: No fate? This concept sounds ridiculous
Chance: We were always born to die. There must be something more to our sacrifice.

Place: Kitty's bedroom
Sarah (removes a strand of hair away from Kitty's hair): Good morning, angel
Kitty (studying Sarah): You look unwell
Sarah: I endure another round of chemotherapy this morning. I just wanted to just hello before I left. I made you pancakes for breakfast.
Kitty: Why are you in such a rush to be gone away?
Sarah: I blame my suffering on cancer
Kitty (worried): Are you dying?!
Sarah (touching Kitty's cheek): No
(Sarah hugs and kisses Kitty goodbye then leaves the room)

John: Death fascinates me. A storm is coming, I can't change my fate. I might not have a future.
Kitty: Life is just too short for us to think about death twenty four seven. I choose life always. I don't have a reason to live without hope. Eventually things will get better for us. We'll experience heaven on earth.
John: You love life right now because your birthday is tomorrow. Sorrow will come later on. Death becomes a reality for me when people start dying all around me. I guess we were all born to die in the end.

Sarah: I have always been here
Kitty: You need to stop doing that
Sarah: Doing what?
Kitty: You need to stop watching me sleep
Sarah: why?
Kitty: You're freaking me out
Sarah: You're my responsibility, I need to watch over you
Kitty: According to society, that would be called being over protective
Sarah: I don't care about what society thinks because you have to listen to me since I am your mother
Kitty: One of these days I will spread my wings and fly away. You will have to learn to let me go.
Sarah(choked up): I will never let you out of my sight
Kitty: Today is a very special day for me because it is my seventeenth birthday
Sarah(singing): Happy birthday to you, Kitty Riley Hope Reese
Kitty: Have you ever imagined what your life would be like if Charley never died?
Sarah: Charley is dead so he doesn't matter to me anymore. I don't understand why you want to talk about him.
Kitty: You would've saved a lot of people less heartache if you married Charley
Sarah: Charley had to die in order for Kyle and me to be together. You wouldn't be alive right now if I didn't reunite with your dad.
Kitty(crying): But my life is your burden
Sarah(crying): You're not a burden
Kitty(sobbing): Most of the babies that are born in this world are unplanned. What makes you think that my life isn't a mistake?
Sarah(wiping away a tear off of Kitty's face): Your life is a miracle, Kit, never forget that
Kitty: I know I would save a lot of people less heartache and more money if I disappeared.
Sarah(sobbing): I love you
Kitty: You are a liar
Sarah: No, Kitty, I mean it from my heart
Kitty: You're right, I do have a choice, I don't have to be here. I want to die so you should let me die and dig my own grave.
Sarah: You would save a lot of people less heartache if you didn't take your own life in your hands
Kitty: I want to die so I don't understand why you won't let me die. Sometimes you act as if you want me to disappear and it hurts for me to be ignored by you.
Sarah: I love you too much to let you go
Kitty: Time will heal what you allow it to heal. The person who lives the misfortune life is the person who lives the blessed life.
Sarah(touching Kitty's hair): God bless the child who suffers meaning you
Kitty: If you have a dream, you shouldn't let me stand in your way
Sarah(touching Kitty's face): Like I said before, your life isn't a burden
Kitty: How can you be so sure?
Sarah: The happiest days of my life have been spent with you. That has to count for something, right?.
Kitty(smiling): I guess so
Sarah: I love your smile so you should keep on smiling
Kitty(laughing): OK
Sarah: Baby, everyday you are becoming more like me. It is you and me against the world so please don't let me down because you give me hope.
Kitty(laughing): OK, mom, whatever you say
Sarah(smiling): I love you
Kitty(smiling): I love you too
Sarah: You need to prepare yourself for battle because we have a war to fight today as usual.
Kitty(choked up): Mom, today is my seventeenth birthday. I am getting tired of fighting in wars. I wish that I could just live a normal life for once.
Sarah(walking out of the room): Saving the world, this is what we do. It is all we do so get used to it because it is our life.
Kitty (embracing Sarah): I know you are sick so how are you feeling right now?
Sarah (holding Kitty very tightly ): I am fine
Kitty (choked up): Stress isn't good for you especially when you have breast cancer
Sarah (choked up): Please don't tell anyone that I have breast cancer. Just let my cancer remain a secret between you and me.
Kitty (crying): I am afraid to wake up someday and you are not here with me anymore. I am afraid to lose you so please take care of yourself.
Sarah (wiping a tear off of Kitty's face): We will survive this trial, please have a little faith in me
Kitty (still crying, she hugs Sarah one more time): Mother, I love you and I do have a lot of faith in you. I don't understand why humans meaning us are always born to die?
Sarah (closes the door behind her): I love you too
Kitty (beginning to get dressed): I have to prepare for battle now
Sarah (reentering the room): You're going nowhere
Kitty (startled): MOM...
Sarah: I apologize for disturbing you
Kitty: Don't you know how to knock first?
Sarah: I forbid you to fight in the war
Kitty: You can't forbid me to do anything. You can't stop fate, this so called free will of mine.
Sarah: Your fate weighs heavily on my mind. I already know how this story will end. I will find a way to change your fate.
Kitty (dressed, she runs pass Sarah): I have to go, duty calls
Place: Airplane runway-take off
Situation: Sarah tells Kitty goodbye
Sarah (holding Kitty's hand): You might not make it home tonight
Kitty: I found a picture of you once. You appeared to be deeply troubled about something. I wonder what you were feeling during that moment of time. You are starting to remind me of your old self. Please forgive me. I am just on the outside looking in. I am on the brink of extinction. All of us are going to lose someone, thats just life.
Sarah (crying): You are the baby of the family. You're something worth holding onto forever. Who will look after you? You need me even though you won't say it out loud. I suffered a lot in an attempt to give you life. Doesn't my pain mean anything to you? You are such a child at heart. Please come back home and be my baby for once. I promise I'll be good to you.
Kitty (getting into her airplane): I choose destiny and fate

Scene: Kitty's airplane
Jasper (pulls Kitty into a tight embrace): How dare you leave me without a kiss?
Kitty (kisses Jasper): I love you
Jasper (crying): I am already missing you. Please make sure you don't die now.

Kitty (growing weak): I can't make it stop
John (snatches Kitty from Jasper's arms): I got this
Jasper: You just downgraded me
John: You are a rookie
Jasper: I was just trying to help
John: Your hard work is not good enough
(Jasper cares enough to follow John to the infirmity where Kitty is checked out. Jasper waits outside the room for the test results)
John (stepping into the hallway): All is well
Jasper (doubtful): Really?
John: My sister has occasional fainting spells
Jasper: Does she have epilepsy?
John: She also has dyslexia. It must been the way she came out of the womb. She will be fine.
