Since then, I’ve cut back on my Sleepless viewing time, but when you watch a movie that many times, pieces of it stay with you forever. And although I love Rosie O’Donnell’s quippy “you don’t want to be in love, you want to be in love in a movie,” and still squeal with delight every time Tom Hanks reaches out toward Meg Ryan and asks, “Shall we?,” the part of this movie that I carry with me is Tom Hanks looking up at his son while atop the Empire State Building and saying, “You’re all I’ve got.
Regardless, when Sam comes upon Jonah safe and sound on the observation deck, the weight of his fears is lifted. “What if something had happened to you? What if I couldn’t get to you?” he asks before he falls to his knees, holding Jonah tight. “What would I have done? You are my family. You’re all I’ve got.” That last sentence, you guys. That last sentence is heartbreaking.
