Quotes
-
Carter Tibbits : Paul, I thought my crew chief made everything clear. I can't trust a man who sneaks in my bedroom while I'm showering and plays with my stuff. I'm afraid you're dead to me, Paul. Just like a certain ex-wife whose number I will not mention.
[Pats Rory on the shoulder]
Carter Tibbits : How're you doin' there, son?
Paul Hennessy : Now, Carter, I just want to set everything straight, and then you'll never hear from me again. I know that the book deal is dead. Is it?
[Carter stares at him]
Paul Hennessy : I mean, right. No, no, that's neither here nor there, it's just... that I, I want you to know that I wasn't playing with your stuff.

Cody Grant : [From the other room, VO] Pitiful!

Carter Tibbits : I think you know where the door is.
Rory Hennessy : [He and Paul go towards the door, but Rory turns back for a moment] Mr. Tibbits, I stole that picture of you and movie legend, Paul Newman. My dad was just putting it back. I took it for a joke.
Carter Tibbits : There's nothin' funny about stealin', son.
Rory Hennessy : I know. It's just, my dad's so funny, and I was trying to be funny.
Paul Hennessy : Rory, why'd you take it so far?
Rory Hennessy : Because I wanted to impress you!
Carter Tibbits : Whoa! Whoa! Stealing to impress your father! You know, Rory, I run a program for at-risk youth, such as yourself...
Paul Hennessy : He's not at-risk!
Carter Tibbits : If I had a dime for every parent who ever said that...
