Kramer vs. Kramer Quotes

A Mother's Love and Acceptance

Joanna Kramer: [Joanna and Ted hug] I woke up this morning, kept thinking about Billy and I-I was thinking about him waking up in his room with his little clouds all around that I painted. And I thought I should have painted clouds downtown, because then he would think that he was waking up at home. I came here to take my son home. And I realized he already is home. Oh, I love him very much. I'm not gonna take him with me. Can I go up and talk to him?...
Ted Kramer: Listen why don't you go upstairs and see him and I'll wait here.
