Quotes 

  • Ben : When you have sex with a woman, be gentle and listen to her. Treat her with respect and dignity even if you don't love her.

    Bo : I know.

    Ben : Always tell the truth. Always take the high road.

    Bo : I know.

    Ben : Live each day like it could be your last. Drink it in. Be adventurous, be bold, but savor it. It goes fast.

    Bo : I know.

    Ben : Don't die.

    Bo : I won't.

  • Nai : Power to the people!

    Bo : Stick it to the man!

  • Ben : [about flirtatious girls]  Go talk to them. We got time.

    Bo : Ask her what she thinks of the working people creating an armed revolution against the exploiting classes and their state structures?

    Ben : Well, Marxists can be just as genocidal as capitalists.

    Bo : Or weather or not she's a dialectical materialist and accords primacy to the class struggle?

    Ben : Avoid Marxism. Or telling her you're a Trotskyite.

    Bo : Trotskyist. Only a Stalinist would call a Trotskyist a Trotskyite. And I'm not a Trotskyist anymore. I'm a Maoist.

    Ben : Right. I forgot, sorry.

  • Bo : I just want to go to college.

    Ben : You speak six languages. You have high math, theoretical physics! This is what I'm talking about! What the hell are these people going to teach you?

    Bo : I know nothing! I know nothing! I am a freak because of you! You made us freaks! And mom knew that! She understood! Unless it comes out of a fucking book, I don't know anything about anything!

  • Kielyr : What's a bordello?

    Ben : A whorehouse... What are you reading?

    Kielyr : Lolita?

    Ben : I didn't assign that book.

    Kielyr : I'm skipping ahead.

    Ben : And?

    Kielyr : It's interesting.

    Rellian : Interesting!

    Bo : Illegal word!

    Zaja : Dad, Kielyr said interesting!

    Ben : Interesting is a non-word. You know you're supposed to avoid it... Be specific.

    Kielyr : It's disturbing.

    Ben : More specific.

    Kielyr : Can I just read?

    Ben : After you give us your analysis thus far.

    Kielyr : There's this old man who loves this girl, and she's only 12 years old.

    Ben : That's the plot.

    Kielyr : Because it's written from his perspective, you sort of understand and sympathize with him. Which is kind of amazing because he's essentially a child molester. But his love for her is beautiful. But it's also sort of a trick because it's so wrong. You know, he's old, and he basically rapes her. So it makes me feel... I hate him. And somehow I feel sorry for him at the same time.

    Ben : Well done.

  • Ben : When you have sex with a woman, be gentle and listen to her. Treat her with respect and dignity, even if you don't love her.

    Bo : I know.

    Ben : Live each day like it could be your last. Drink it in. Be adventurous, be bold, but savor it. It goes fast.

    Bo : I know.

    Ben : Don't die.

    Bo : I won't.

  • Ben : [walking to picnic benches after shoplifting]  Where else can we improve?

    Bo : Flawed exit strategy. Everyone went out the same doors. No one utilized the loading dock area at all. If it got blocked, we'd all be trapped.

    Ben : Mm-hmm.

    Vespyr : Inadequately planned extraction point. We probably shouldn't have all gone directly to the bus.

    Kielyr : Predetermined pickups would have been much less risky.

    Ben : On the plus side, mission: Free the food accomplished.

  • Bo : We're just back in the states because of my dad's sabbatical. He's writing a book on Dr. Spock.

    Claire : Oh, I love Star Trek.

  • Ellen : [intercepting Bo & Claire on their way to a tryst]  It's almost midnight. I sincerely hope you two lovebirds haven't been doing what I think you've been doing.

    Bo : [talking rapidly]  I know what you think. But I know that your daughter has taught me many things just now. She has broadened my mind, she has helped me grow. When we just kissed for the first time just then, it... The endorphins that your daughter sent through my body were like dolphins swimming through my bloodstream. The way she has opened me up, she has penetrated deep inside of me, and I know that I have penetrated deep, deep inside of your daughter. And... but not-not like that. I would love to when... When it's necessary for... I, I want kids someday. Not right now, of course.

    Bo : [turning to speechless Claire]  But when you're ready, when I'm ready, because I think this should be a shared decision. This is a decision that we should make together. But when you are ready, I will be ready. I am ready for you, if you will have me... Claire... What's your last name?

  • [first lines] 

    Ben : [family gathers around the slain deer]  Today, the boy is dead. And in his place... is a man.

    Bo : [rips off a bloody bite of the offered morsel]
