Quotes
-
Mrs. Schmidt : Are you sure I can't help?
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : I can do it. It's no big deal.
Mrs. Schmidt : I wish you'd let me drive you home.
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Ah... I already asked my friends.
Mrs. Schmidt : Michael, Emmett... Brian. I met them while you were... asleep.
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Oh.
Mrs. Schmidt : They're very nice. Especially Michael.
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Yeah, Michael is... especially special.
Mrs. Schmidt : Are you two...? I mean...
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Oh, no. No. We, ah... He's just a friend.
Mrs. Schmidt : Well, he's a very good friend. He was very kind to me. I'm grateful you have him.
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Yeah, so am I.
Mrs. Schmidt : Because more than anything, I worry that you're alone. That there's no one to look after you.
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : I can take care of myself.
Mrs. Schmidt : Oh, I know you can. You've always been self-sufficient. I just... I wish you had someone to love you. And if you did, maybe this wouldn't have happened.
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Mom, please, let's uh...
Mrs. Schmidt : I'm sorry. I know that it embarrasses you if I talk too much or I get too emotional. But I can't help thinking that, if you haven't woken up, and I would have never gotten a chance to let you know, how proud I am that you're my son. And that... it doesn't matter to me what you are. Yeah I got over that a long time ago. And that whenever you're feeling alone, or that no one loves you; it's not true. Because I do!
Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : [long pause] Thank you, Mom for eh... for saying that.
