  • David Sumner: Hey, Charlie, there is something in the Bible, I do believe.
  • Charlie: Whats that, sir?
  • David Sumner: "Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife."
  • Charlie: I believe in that, too. But what happens when thy neighbor's wife covets you?
  • Chris: [David takes a nail gun to Chris' hands as he climbs through a broken window] Don't leave me like this... the glass is cutting into my neck
  • David Sumner: [coldly] I hope you slit your fucking throat
  • David Sumner: Baby. You don't have to learn chess to please me.

  • Charlie: Why is that funny?
  • David Sumner: That God would help a nation of atheists?
  • Charlie: He works in mysterious ways.
  • David Sumner: Most dangerous line ever uttered.
  • David Sumner: What are you doing in bed? Your friends... your, uh, your fucking redneck hillbilly friends abandoned me out there. I'm firing 'em.

  • David Sumner: What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
  • Amy Sumner: You're a coward.
  • David Sumner: [sighs] No, I'm not.

  • Amy Sumner: Yeah.
  • [nods]
  • Amy Sumner: Yeah. If you had done... something...
  • David Sumner: Amy...
  • Amy Sumner: ... if you had said *something... *
  • David Sumner: Amy, I was trying to get them to talk...
  • Amy Sumner: Anything!
  • David Sumner: [finally loses his temper] I was trying to get them to talk... until you pulled that infantile stunt with the milk. You pushed me, Amy, and you don't do anything by pushing.
