Quotes 

• Michael Kyle : [to Claire]  Right now I am scared to death, you were trying to sneak out of this house at midnight with Tony as your protection. He can't even defend himself against the 3 Little Indians.

• Claire Kyle : If I had asked to go to the party, you would've just said no.

  Michael Kyle : How do you know?

  Claire Kyle : Would you have let me go?

  Michael Kyle : Hell no, see? That's not no. Now why do you think I would've said no?

  Claire Kyle : Because it's an unsupervised party after midnight with boys and alcohol and probably drugs and sex, but I just wanted to listen to some music.

  Michael Kyle : Then you should've just stayed up in your room and listened to my Motown albums.

• Claire Kyle : So what's my punishment?

  Michael Kyle : Your punishment is living with the fact that I have never been as disappointed in you as I am now.

  [walks away] 

  Claire Kyle : Dad... can I have a smaller punishment? I can't handle that kind of guilt.

• Claire Kyle : I knew you wouldn't have let me go to the party.

  Michael Kyle : And why do you think that is?

  Claire Kyle : I don't know.

  Michael Kyle : Claire, do you watch the news? Do you read the papers?

  Claire Kyle : No.

  Michael Kyle : Well if you did, you would know there are psychos out there.
