在Adam请求Beth和他一去加州的时候，嗫嚅着说了第一句“you'er ..like a part of me...and I need you to..”，这一句一时间让Beth感到很期待，期待着他能继续说出内心的爱。但是接下去Adam说的是“（I need you) to find place to live and to learn how to work and...”，还是停留在Beth是他不可缺少的一个拐棍而已。所以Beth说“I can't go if you just can't go without me”，她应该是希望用另外的方式去帮助Adam成长。
在片子的最后，Adam对一群参观者流畅地介绍了多光源望远镜的工作原理，不同于以前滔滔不绝于专业陈述，他在最后说“But ..the best is just look up the night sky”这么一句富有诗意的话。
另：
Beth寄给Adam的儿童读物新作的开头，这么写“Adam, his mother and his father were a family of talking racoons who lived in Central Park in the middle of New York City. They didn’t really belong there, but there they were.”
我不知道是否隐含着这样的意思：象Adam这样有别于常人的人，或许didn't really belong我们日常的社会，但是，there they were，既然在这儿生活着，就得设法继续生活下去。
