Quotes
- Rose: And you know, the boys downtown told me it's a wonder that boat could float, with all the drugs on board. I guess that's where Benny got the E from, huh?
Mal: The erection drug?
Jake: (laughs) Dad, E is ecstasy.
Mal: I'm joking, dumb-ass! I worked the drug squad, remember? - Rose: Okay, fine, if you can't hear me, I might as well be straight with you. I didn't move in to this house expecting to babysit a 16-year old brat. Keep it up, keep it up with the attitude. One night I'll sneak into your room while you're sleeping and wring your bloody neck.
Tinny: (laughing) It wasn't turned on yet. - Jake: What can I say? Trouble just has a way of finding me.
Rose: I think it's the other way around, actually. - Jake: Listen, you wouldn't die for me, would you?
Mal: Nope. I've another son, as well as a daughter, which makes you expendible. You're third born, the runt of the litter.
Jake: The fatherly love from you is just like one of those Latter Day Saints commercials. So much compassion!
Mal: Move out of my house!
