Quotes4

  • Jake McDermott: [handing over $20 per Duncan's request] Will this be enough?
  • Duncan McDermott: You are a humanitarian, a benevolent presence in this age of frugality. If all fathers were such good examples to their sons, this world would be...
  • [Jake covers Duncan's mouth]
  • Jake McDermott: Has any of you ever seen me eat an egg? Well, have you ever seen your mother serve me an egg for breakfast? I'll answer for you - no. Never. And do you know why? Has anybody ever asked yourself why your old man doesn't eat eggs? Because they come from chickens, and if there's one thing I hate more than eggs, it is chickens. Twenty-five years I sold chickens. My whole life, one way or another, has been about chickens, and I hate 'em! They're filthy, they're stupid, they're rats with a good reputation.
  • Jake McDermott: Why don't you just set some of this stuff down, and we'll go in the TV room and close the door, and we'll have it out.
  • Brian McDermott: Live in your own world, Dad. I don't have time to waste.
  • Brian McDermott: Don't we count? We put our whole lives into that business, too, you know? And today it's, uh, "Hey, kids by the way, fuck you. We're closed."
  • Jake McDermott: Now, we have rules about that word.
  • Brian McDermott: We don't have rules. You just fucked all the rules.
  • Jake McDermott: I expect you to be surprised.
  • Brian McDermott: What are we, huh? Come on, you're lookin' at us. Do we mean anything to you? Are we your sons?
  • Jake McDermott: Let's just discuss this calmly, all right?
  • Brian McDermott: Discuss it. Now you want to discuss it. You... you're... you're unbelievable.
