Jackie is in the last stage of cancer and she is concerned about what will happened with her two kids. This dialogue is the climax of the movie. The both women are trying to solve their difference for the happiness of the children.
"You know, I never wanted to be a mom. Sharing it with you... that's one thing.", said Isabel, " It's another to be looking over my shoulder for the next twenty years, knowing someone else would have done it better... someone else would have done it right."
" What do I have that you don't?", asked Jackie.
"You're Mother Earth, incarnate." , replied Isabel.
"You're... hip, and fresh.", said Jackie
"You know every story, every wound, every memory. ", completed Isabel, "Their whole life's happiness is wrapped up in you... every single second. Don't you get it? Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll be thinking, "I wish my mom was here."
"And mine is... she won't.", said Jackie, "But the truth is, he doesn't have to choose, she can have us both love us both. She will be a better person because of me and you. I have her past, and you can have her future."
The women finished their conversation, they realized that both want the best for the children even if their have different ways for doing it.
