When I do something like try to teach you how to get out of handcuffs, that’s the same as another parent when they take their kids to the ball game or give their kids a Slinky, you know? Sometimes a parent’ll do something because they don’t know how to express stuff with words. So they do things.[to Jane]
We’re going now.[Katarina ‘Kat’ Stratford]All right, wait a minute. No drinking, no drugs, no kissing, no tattoos, no piercings, no ritual animal slaughters of any kind. Oh, God, I’m giving them ideas.[Walter Stratford]
We just broke into Tom Brady’s house and tried to jerk him off. You’re ready to be a parent.[to Ted]
Tommy, I’m really trying here.[Paddy Conlon]You’re trying?[Tommy Conlon]Yeah, really, I’m trying.[Paddy Conlon]Now? Where were you when it mattered? I needed this guy back when I was a kid. I don’t need you now. You know? It’s too late now. Everything has already happened.[Tommy Conlon]
The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It’s a good non-specific symptom. I’m a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good, phony fever is a dead lock. But, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor’s office. That’s worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp and when you’re bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It’s a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.
Most fathers want their sons to look exactly like them, inside and out. But I don’t want you to be like me. There’s something wrong with me, always has been. The more I look at you, the less I know. And the less I know, the more scared I am. So you know what? I’m not gonna look anymore. I’m gonna let you tell me who you are.[to Franklin]
It’s difficult to lose a parent. Especially at a young age.[to Safin]
It gets a whole lot more complicated when you have kids.[Bob Harris]Yeah. It’s scary.[Charlotte]It’s the most terrifying day of your life the day the first one is born.[Bob Harris]Yeah. Nobody ever tells you that.[Charlotte]Your life, as you know it, is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk, and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life.[Bob Harris]
Is Frankie okay? Is he in trouble?[Paula Abagnale]Ma’am, I’m sorry to have to tell you, your son is forging checks.[Carl Hanratty]Forging checks? Wait! I’m sure we can take care of that. I’m working part-time at the church now. Just tell me how much he owes and I’ll pay you back.[Paula Abagnale]So far, it’s about $1.3 million.[Carl Hanratty]
Incredible. One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second.
If we want her to listen to us, we gotta start listening to her more.[to Jessica, about Nina]
I know they made you do bad things, but you are not a bad boy. I am your father who loves you. And you will come home with me and be my son again.[to Dia]
