Ed Harris: Miles Roby

Quotes 

• Tick Roby : [to Miles]  This is John Voss. Uncle David said we needed a new busboy.

  David Roby : [to Miles]  Take a look at Brian. He looks like a walking appetite suppressant!

  Brian : [stumbles into back kitchen area]  Hey, Miles!

  Miles Roby : Brian, come here for a minute.

  [looks at Brian's infected face] 

  Miles Roby : You gotta go home!

  Brian : What do you mean? I can't help it! Something bit me. I can still work.

  Miles Roby : Yeah, but people got to eat here.

  [takes Brian's busboy bin] 

  Miles Roby : Go home!

• Miles Roby : How does it feel, Francine? To know your husband shot himself in the head rather than spend one more minute on this earth with you?

• Francine Whiting : What can't be cured must be endured.

  Miles Roby : What can't be cured must be avenged.

• Miles Roby : I think Father Tom is making off with the cash box again.

  Father Mark : Yeah, I know. Don't worry, Ms. Koss will fetch him.

  Ms. Koss : Come back here, you old bat! Father Tom! Father Tom! Bring that back!

  Father Mark : Who says God has no sense of humor?

• Bea : It's not that I think it's a bad idea, Miles. Like I told you, I'm game. But it's going to mean war. That woman will come after us.

  Miles Roby : Fuck her. Let her come.

• Francine Whiting : What you really hate is the fact that I know you better than you know yourself.

  Miles Roby : Well, maybe I'll surprise you one day.

• Father Mark : [about Max]  He'd steal from God?

  Miles Roby : Yeah, he's pretty fearless as far as God's concerned. I don't know whether he's an atheist or he just thinks he'll be able to bullshit God like he does everybody else.

• David Roby : [referring to Walt]  Tell me something, Bro - Why do you allow him in here?

  Miles Roby : I think he just comes in here to make sure I know there's no hard feelings.

  David Roby : He steals your wife, and there's no hard feelings?

  Miles Roby : Some sins trail their own penance.

• Miles Roby : [referring to Max]  He becomes a public nuisance when he tires of being a private one.

• Janine Roby : Miles, when you were a kid, did you ever imagine...

  Miles Roby : What?

  Janine Roby : I don't know... more?

  Miles Roby : Don't feel bad, Darlin'. No one ever imagines less.
