Patrick: "You can't imagine my joy when people see me as a relatively normal person. They overlook our intellectual abilities because we have marked faces and struggle to express ourselves. If they would just stop, listen to us, find our hearts beyond our appearance, they wouldn't be afraid anymore and they'd discover so much".

Mariangela tells Patrick: "It seems like you've made so much progress… you speak so much better!".

He laughs and answers her: "No — you're the one who's made progress learning to listen and understand me better!"
