Wade Boteler: O'Neill

Quotes 

• O'Neill : [referring to Steve and Addison, who were arguing in Addison's office]  Well, are they still at it?

  Margaret Banks : They've been in there a long time, do you think everything is all right?

  O'Neill : Well, they quit yelling at each other, that's something.

  Margaret Banks : I never saw Steve so violent, and I feel maybe that I'm responsible.

  O'Neill : Oh, he'll be all right, as soon as he gets it out of his system.

  Margaret Banks : It's too quiet all of a sudden to suit me... supposing you just poked your head in the door, huh?

  O'Neill : Not me, lady, not me. I know those birds too well to interfere in their family quarrels. Heh, they have these fights about twice a week just to prove they're not effeminate, but they always wind up in each other's arms, singing "Mother Machree"...

  Margaret Banks : Even so, I can't help worrying about Steve... he's *such* a kid.

  O'Neill : You know, Margie, I think you were miscast. You should've been his mother.
