- Gordie: What about the bad guys?
- Louis Thibadeau: What bad guys?
- Gordie: The bad guys that are taking over the neighborhood.
- Louis Thibadeau: Now where did you hear that?
- Meg: Go watch TV, Gordie.
- Louis Thibadeau: That's probably where he heard it.
- Cathryn Bolan: Stay away from Louis Thibadeau.
- Detective Isgrow: How come?
- Cathryn Bolan: Your witness doesn't have any idea what a cocaine cowboy is. Why didn't you tell him?
- Gordie: Everybody calls you Mr. Thibadeau. Is that because of what you did in the war?
- Louis Thibadeau: No, Gordie, it's because I'm old. Besides that war was a long time ago, nobody remembers it.
- Gordie: Paddy does.
- Meg: [about the shooting] It's all over the front page.
- Louis Thibadeau: Meg, if a dog has pups it's on page one.
- Louis Thibadeau: [walking Gordie to band practice] We're late.
- Gordie: So why don't we drive?
- Louis Thibadeau: Because you need the exercise.
- Gordie: What for?
- Louis Thibadeau: So you don't have a heart attack before you're 12.
- Gordie: That's why I gave up smoking and drinking.
- Meg: I wish you'd talk to Paddy about giving Gordie so many donuts.
- Louis Thibadeau: [absentmindedly] Yes Meg.
- Meg: And Louis, no more war stories.
- Louis Thibadeau: [absentmindedly] Yes Meg.
- Meg: And we're gonna have rattlesnakes for dinner.
- Louis Thibadeau: [absentmindedly] Yes Meg.
- Meg: I thought you were going to quit playing with that tank.
- Louis Thibadeau: So did Mrs. Whitehead.
- Nurse Warren: Would you like something for the pain?
- [Louis grumbles]
- Nurse Warren: What?
- Louis Thibadeau: Bourbon.
