- Nancy Krieger Weston: [listening to her son playing] I really hate "Star Wars".
- Michael Steadman: Well, 30 years ago, he'd have a coonskin cap, then you'd hate Fess Parker.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: [holding her stomach] What's the craze gonna be when you come out, Moe?
- Nancy Krieger Weston: See, I'd like to go into his room and throw away all his rocket launchers, all his macho action figures, and all his tiny-tot Uzis.
- Michael Steadman: Mm, beware of backlash, Nancy.
- Hope Murdoch Steadman: Yeah, he might join the Marines when he's 16.
- Michael Steadman: Or form a dance company.
- Elliot Weston: I don't think you're being fair.
- Ruthie Weston Tresh: [scoffing] Oh, fair.
- Elliot Weston: Yeah, fair. I don't think you're being fair.
- Ruthie Weston Tresh: To him?
- Elliot Weston: No, to me, okay? I mean, sure, look, he's no Aiath, you know, but who is? All right? I-I'm looking forward to being with Dad, and I wish you wouldn't spoil it with a lot of very old news.
- Ruthie Weston Tresh: You just remember it different, that's all. You're a son. That's why.
- Elliot Weston: Oh, come on.
- Ruthie Weston Tresh: I remember him promising me things and then never coming through. I mean, he'd promise you anything, everything, and then when it didn't happen, it was never his fault. And the apologies you'd get. My God, they were Oscar-winning performances every time. He... he promised me that he was going to pay for my college education, and I bel... well, I know I shouldn't have by that point, but I did. I believed him.
- Elliot Weston: He didn't?
- Ruthie Weston Tresh: [sarcastic] Yeah, I worked two jobs through school because I'm an over-achiever.
