Donnie Wahlberg: Danny Reagan

Quotes 

• Eddie Janko : What about Jameson?

  Frank Reagan : Jameson? Jameson. He was always cool, he... like he instinctively knew that the more advice you harvest, the better the odds are to make the right move. Now, I always felt the knock was welcomed.

  Sean Reagan : And last but not least?

  Danny Reagan : Uh, best for last.

  Sean Reagan : Sure.

  Frank Reagan : Oh, that's easy. When your dad was eight years old, he got suspended from school for... guess what?

  Everyone : Fighting.

  Frank Reagan : So I go to his room, I sit him down and I ask him what happened. And he just gives me the bare bones. So I said directly, "What did that kid say or do make you throw the first punch?" And your dad says, "Trust me, you don't want to freaking know." What eight-year-old says, "Trust me, you don't want to freaking know"?

  Danny Reagan : Trust me, you don't want to freaking know.

• Danny Reagan : And you owe me 20 bucks.

  Erin Reagan : For what?

  Danny Reagan : Our bet. You said he'd call me.

  Frank Reagan : Call you about what?

  Danny Reagan : See there. Pay up.

  Erin Reagan : You didn't call him after the shooting at the gas station?

  Frank Reagan : Was I supposed to?

  Henry Reagan : That was my job.

  Danny Reagan : Mm-hmm.

  Jamie Reagan : How is it your job?

  Henry Reagan : As the patriarch.

  Nicky Reagan-Boyle : But as his father?

  Frank Reagan : Someday you'll see.

  Eddie Janko : See what?

  Frank Reagan : Well, more like see when. When to back off trying to suss out your kid's problems. That first time that you go to knock on the closed bedroom door and something tells you "don't."

  Nicky Reagan-Boyle : Like, let them handle it themselves?

  Frank Reagan : Yeah, when it's time.

  Nicky Reagan-Boyle : Well, when did you know with Mom?

  Frank Reagan : When she was 18 and threatened me with a restraining order.

  Erin Reagan : I did not.

  Frank Reagan : Practically. Anyway, that was your mom's duty.

• Henry Reagan : You weren't surprised, me showing up?

  Danny Reagan : No. I totally bought the "I was... just happened to be "in the neighborhood on my way to Costco" routine. "With a bottle of whiskey in my hand."

  Henry Reagan : There's no one else in this room but you and me, Danny. Two BSers full of BS.

  Danny Reagan : Look, I-I'm not an idiot, Gramps. And I'm not being a jerk. I'm not. Look, enough people line up telling you that you're upset, you have to consider that.

  Henry Reagan : You're no idiot, that's for sure. And for my money, you're not even upside down, just maybe a little sideways.

  Danny Reagan : If that's what you see...

  Henry Reagan : You know what else I see?

  Danny Reagan : My dining room table?

  Henry Reagan : Your empty house.

  Danny Reagan : It's not empty. Sean's upstairs doing his homework.

  Henry Reagan : Not what I mean, and you know it. And it's not just the house that's empty.

  Danny Reagan : Hasn't even been two years yet, Gramps.

  Henry Reagan : Linda was the one who got you through those others. She also could've gotten you through this one.

  Danny Reagan : Yeah, but it wasn't in the cards.

  Henry Reagan : So draw a new one.

  Danny Reagan : You want me to start shacking up? That's your solution?

  Henry Reagan : I'm just thinking about your future.

  Danny Reagan : You know, not for nothing, Gramps, but... Grandma's been gone, what, a hundred years? I never saw you take up with another woman. Hell, I never saw you even go on a date with another woman.

  Henry Reagan : No. I live alone with my son. Have for the last 15 years.

  Danny Reagan : Well, Dad, too.I don't see him threatening Casanova's legend since Mom passed away.

  Henry Reagan : No. He lives alone with his father. For the last 15 years.

• Mrs. Jassem : I really don't understand why we couldn't do this over the phone.

  Sid Gormley : Thank you for coming in.

  Mrs. Jassem : Frankly, I find it pretty inconsiderate of you to insist.

  Sid Gormley : Medical records from Eastchester County Hospital. The night your son was killed, you drove 20 miles out of your way for a wound that required 20 stitches. Why would someone do that?

  Danny Reagan : Unless that somebody had something to hide.

  Mrs. Jassem : Am I under arrest?

  Danny Reagan : No.

  Mrs. Jassem : Then can I go?

  Danny Reagan : You can. But before you do, I'd... like to let you know that it is no easy thing to take another life. I know it. It is something you will never, ever get over. Whether it's the guilt coursing through your veins like poison or the sleepless nights stacking up on your chest like a pile of bricks. The nights you do sleep are ruined when you awaken to realize that it wasn't a nightmare. It was real. There's nothing you can do to change it.

  Mrs. Jassem : I didn't... What I mean is...

  Danny Reagan : You don't have to say anything. You don't. But I want to promise you that if you do say something... you're gonna feel so much better. You may even sleep like a baby again. I know you're a good person. I knew it the moment I met you. And I know there is nothing... nothing on this Earth that would ever make you intentionally hurt your baby boy. Help us help you. Please. Sit down and talk to us about what happened. It's okay. It's gonna be all right.
