Quotes 

• Carly Beaker : I never forgot my little Tracy. I thought about you every single day.

  Tracy Beaker : I thought of you too.

  Carly Beaker : Really?

  Tracy Beaker : Every minute when I was little... Waiting for you to come back for me.

  Carly Beaker : Tracy, I...

  Tracy Beaker : Then, when I was older. I used to be scared you'd come back when I was at school and they wouldn't tell me. I didn't like being scared so I got angry with them.

  Carly Beaker : I wanted to come back.

  Tracy Beaker : Then why didn't you?

  Tracy Beaker : Was it my fault? Was I too naughty?

  Tracy Beaker : Don't be angry.

  Carly Beaker : You actually think I wanted to leave you in that place?

  Tracy Beaker : No. Don't cry.

  Carly Beaker : I was hardly more than a child myself when I had you. I just couldn't cope. I tried my best. You must remember how much I loved you?

  Carly Beaker : You don't know what it was like having to look after someone, day and night, when everyone else was out having fun. I had no-one to help. I was young... I needed some life for myself - that doesn't make me a bad mother.

  Carly Beaker : If I could... I'll go back to when you were little and do it better But I can't. Can you forgive me?

• Carly Beaker : I've got a cab waiting!

  Elaine Boyak : Just a few questions. Won't keep you a minute.

  Carly Beaker : What questions?

  Elaine Boyak : Before you take Tracy out we - that is, Social Services - we need to...

  Carly Beaker : Are you saying I can't take my own daughter out?

  Elaine Boyak : No... No, w-we're delighted you've popped up, a-and we hope you'll stay and... bond. Er, we just need to know where you're going.

  Carly Beaker : Why?

  Elaine Boyak : Safety guidelines. A precaution.

  Carly Beaker : She's quite safe with me, thanks.

  Elaine Boyak : I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist you tell me. It's procedure.

  Carly Beaker : And what if I don't?

  Elaine Boyak : Y-you have to.

  Carly Beaker : I CAN DO WHAT I LIKE WITH MY OWN DAUGHTER!

  Elaine Boyak : Tracy is not a possession! She's a child who needs proper care!
