[Lucas talking about selling his movies]

The third one is you don't show up at their coffee shop or [????]. You just say "no, gone, history. I'm moving forward." 'Cause every time you do ... and, you know, we all learn this from experience ... every time you do something like that you're opening the wound again. And it just makes it harder for you. You have to put it behind you and it's a very, very, very hard thing to do. But you have to just cut it off and say end of ballgame. I've got to move on. And everything in your body says don't, you can't. These are my kids.

these people that purchased "his children" can't really take this to court. They would rather pretend he never said it.
