to wait for someone
I waited for you.Beaches · 1988 — 第 29 / 30 章 · 3'14" · B2
Hillary, dying in a hospital bed, asks to be taken home: "I don't want Victoria to see me here." CC fights the hospital to release her, answering the nurse's "Do you know how sick she is?" with "Yes, I know how sick she is, and so does she." Then comes the song for her: "the wind beneath my wings."
CC visits Hillary in the hospital, and Hillary's only request is to leave: she does not want Victoria to see her this way. CC agrees and tries to arrange her release. When a nurse asks whether she knows how sick Hillary is, CC says she does, and so does Hillary. Told they cannot let her go, CC demands to speak to the doctor in charge.

I can fly higher than an eagleThe scene is a farewell dressed as logistics. Hillary does not ask to be saved; she asks to leave, and specifically to spare her daughter the sight of her in a hospital bed: "I don't want Victoria to see me here." CC's job is to fight the institution that wants to keep her — nurses who insist they cannot release her, and a doctor in charge CC must argue with. CC's line — "Yes, I know how sick she is, and so does she" — states the whole truth plainly: everyone understands what is happening, and so the only kindness left is to honor Hillary's request. The chapter closes with a song that says what the friends cannot: "I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings."

Hillary's daughter. Hillary's reason for leaving the hospital is that she does not want Victoria to see her in a hospital bed, so the request is about protecting her child.
