“Ugh, I wish I could drive,” she says, paying him absolutely no mind as she climbs into the passenger seat. “Riding down the highway with the windows down, blasting music.”
“Get caught in traffic,” Joel says. “Get a flat tire. Pay for a new alternator.”
“Yeah, yeah, you don’t even know. You have a car. You can go wherever you want. You have everything.”
Joel grips the wheel tight. Kids never have anything to worry about. Their whole lives laid out in front of them like a highway. Everything, everything.
Or:
Joel gets a contracting job at a school. Being around kids all day is bad enough--and then a brazen, foul-mouthed teenager keeps showing up at his work site. Joel doesn't care why she's sleeping at school instead of at home. He doesn't.Or:

Doctors come in and out. There isn't much more they can do. She's yelled and screamed and cursed about it. Didn't change anything. They did what they could. All she can do is wait. Fucking useless.
He's lost so much blood. She wanted to give him some, but they're not the same blood type. Of course they're not. Maybe they would be if she were his daughter, but she's not. She's not.
He's lost so much blood. So much blood running through her fingers. Ellie wipes her hands on her jeans. It doesn't help.
He's stilI. Too still. But his chest lifts and falls, and that has to be enough.

Or, the one where Ellie saves Joel from Abby, and they get to try and mend what has been broken between them for so long.

"I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But I would like to try."

“Where is Joel?” asks Ellie. He’s dead. He’s dead because of her, and they don’t want to tell her.
“Joel just got out of surgery,” Maria answers calmly, taking both of Ellie’s hands in hers. Ellie’s eyes snap back open. “Tommy is with him. You’ll be able to see him soon.” Ellie starts to sit again, to stand, to go to him, but Maria squeezes her hands in warning. “First, we need to make sure you’re okay. Next, we need to understand what happened out there, what Tommy and Dina can’t tell us. Then, I’ll take you to Joel.”

Or: Joel survives, Ellie is still bent on revenge, and their family just wants to help.
