Quotes
-
Ashley Juergens : [to George] You're not going on a business trip, are you?
[referring her mother]
Ashley Juergens : What, did she kick you out of the house or something?
George Juergens : No one kicks me out of my house. You mind your own business and be a good girl.
Ashley Juergens : You seeing someone? You got a girlfriend or something?
George Juergens : This is not a conversation a father has with his daughter. And no, I'm not seeing someone. Your mother may think I am, but I'm not.
Ashley Juergens : Just don't go.
George Juergens : You know how you always want to be treated older, like an adult? Well, now... now is a good time to grow up a little bit and realize that things don't always work out like you want them to.
Ashley Juergens : [near tears] Please don't go, okay? I promise I'll do anything you want. I mean, I'll wear long skirts or high jeans. I won't wear makeup, and I won't dye my hair, and I'll get good grades, and I'll make decent friends like you're always telling me to. Just, Dad, please.
George Juergens : Ash, honey, please. This is hard enough.
Ashley Juergens : [crying] Dad.
George Juergens : [hugs Ashley] It's not like I'm not gonna be around. I'll be around. I'll always be around for you.
Ashley Juergens : No, you won't. And I don't want to have divorced parents. Everyone has divorced parents. I don't want to be like everyone else.
George Juergens : I know, sweetheart. I know. We're just taking a break. No one said anything about divorce here. We just need some time alone, you know? Some time to think.
Ashley Juergens : I gotta go.
George Juergens : Look, I don't want you blaming yourself for anything that happens. This has nothing to do with you or Amy. Sometimes things just happen.
Ashley Juergens : [as she backs away from George] Things just happen? No, things don't just happen. Things just happen when... why'd you have to cheat on her, man? I mean, she's pretty, she's smart, she's nice, and she's my mother. How could you leave her? How could you leave us, especially now?
