Quotes 

• David McCall : [At the door]  It could have all been different, Mr. Walker. You should have allowed nature to take its course. In the end, it will anyway.

  [pause] 

  David McCall : SO LET ME IN THE FUCKIN' HOUSE!

• David McCall : Hey Mr. Walka!

• Steve Walker : David, I don't want to beat around the bush. I came to tell you that you're gonna stop seeing Nicole. Now, either you're as smart as you think you are and you'll just go away, or else you're gonna make things a lot harder on yourself than they have to be.

  David McCall : You know, Steve, you're really not a faggot.

  Steve Walker : ...What?

  David McCall : No, I'm serious. You seem like a pretty solid guy; you should lighten up on yourself.

  Steve Walker : We're not talkin' about me, we're talkin'...

  David McCall : Yes we are. That's what this whole thing's about, Steve. Your inadequacies. Your fears.

  Steve Walker : You just wait a minute...

  David McCall : Listen to me. See, I'm hip to your problems. All of 'em. I know you abandoned Nicole when she needed you most... 'cause I licked her sweet tears. I know about things comin' apart at work. Maybe you fuckin' lost it in that department. I also know you ain't keepin' up, so to speak, your end of the bargain with the missus. 'Cause if you were she wouldn't be all over my stick. Relax, Steve. We're friends. We're practically family.

  Steve Walker : I want you to understand somethin', pal. If you don't disappear from my family's life, I'm gonna rip your balls off and shove 'em so far up your ass they'll come out your fuckin' mouth! You got that, my friend?

• David McCall : Just you and me, Nicole, nobody else.

  Nicole Walker : Nobody else.

  [returns David's kiss] 

  David McCall : Do you want me?

  Nicole Walker : Yes.

  David McCall : Tell me, tell me you want me.

  Nicole Walker : I want you, David.

  David McCall : Yeah?

  Nicole Walker : [nods her head]  David?

  David McCall : Yeah?

  Nicole Walker : I love you.

• David McCall : You're not dancing.

  Nicole Walker : I know.

• Nicole Walker : Isn't this the car they stopped making 'cause it, I don't know, blows up or something?

  David McCall : Guess that's why I got her.

• David McCall : [preparing to execute Steve]  Daddy, you will forever hold your peace.

  [Nicole produces the "peace pipe" letter-opener and buries it in David's back] 

  Nicole Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE: deadpan]  Oh, no you don't.

  [as David gets up and turns to face Nicole, she stands ready for him, despite no longer being sure of what he intends to do with her. Then Steve gets up and pounces on David from behind. They fight murderously as Nicole looks on in tears. Finally, Steve gets the upper hand; he choke-holds David, while turning toward Nicole's bedroom window] 

  Steve Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE]  ... I've spent my whole life taking the easy way out, David. Now, IT'S YOUR TURN!

  [David is thrown headlong through the window and plummets to his death. Steve then turns back to face Nicole] 

  Nicole Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE: softly]  ... Dad, are you all right?

  Steve Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE]  ... I didn't abandon you this time.

  [She runs into his arms and they hug each other] 

  Nicole Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE: sobbing]  ... I wanted to save David from himself, in spite of everything. I'm sorry I couldn't.

  Steve Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE]  Well, I didn't do so hot either, not on that score... But I think we BOTH did the next best thing, don't you?

  Nicole Walker : [CUTTING-ROOM-FLOOR LINE: forcing a smile]  Touché, Dad.

  [Laura, Margo and Toby come in and group-hug them both] 

• David McCall : You filthy little whore!

• David McCall : Nicole, get me a Coke.

• David McCall : What?

  Nicole Walker : Nothing.

  David McCall : That was not "nothing" going on behind those beautiful eyes of yours.

  [Nicole snickers] 

  David McCall : Tell me.

  Nicole Walker : I was just thinking that... you're not at all like what I expected you to be the first time I saw you.

  David McCall : How so?

  Nicole Walker : I don't know. You're just...

  [shakes her head] 

  Nicole Walker : You're sweet.

  [he nods, looks down pensively] 

  Nicole Walker : What? You're the one that's hiding something.

  David McCall : It's just that I was taught... that if something seems too good to be true, then it probably isn't.

  Nicole Walker : Yeah...

  David McCall : So far what I know about you is... you're beautiful... and incredibly perceptive. I just need to know, like, one flaw, so I can believe the rest.

  Nicole Walker : Got a week?

  David McCall : I got all the time in the world.

• David McCall : Come on, Mr. Walker,

  [picks up tied Steve, and slings him over his shoulder] 

  David McCall : it's time to give away the bride.
