Quotes 

• Harold Howard : I want you to leave my son alone. He's a good kid... he's just having a tough time right now. Okay?

• Harold Howard : [upon seeing each other as werewolves]  An explanation is probably long overdue.

  Scott Howard : An explanation? Jesus Christ, dad! An explanation? Look at me! Look at you.

  Harold Howard : It's not as bad as it looks.

  Scott Howard : Wait a minute, wait a minute, dad. You mean you knew about this? You knew about this and you didn't tell me?

  Harold Howard : I was hoping I wouldn't have to. Sometimes it skips a generation. I was hoping it would pass you by.

  Scott Howard : Well, Dad it didn't pass me by. It landed on my face. What the hell am I gonna do?

  Harold Howard : [Scott slams his bedroom door behind him]  Scott, we really need to talk about this.

  Scott Howard : Forget it, dad. I don't want to talk. Go away.

• Harold Howard : Listen son. You're going to be able to do a lot of things the other guys aren't.

  Scott Howard : Oh yeah, like chase cars, and bite the mailman?

• Vice Principal Thorne : [Scott has turned into the werewolf at the dance]  Hold it. Now you've done it. You don't know how long I have waited to get you right where I have you. You're never going to play basketball again. You know why? Because you're not going to be here anymore, that's why. You're out of here, Mr. Howard. And don't you...

  Harold Howard : Thorne. Go on home, son. Go ahead. I'll handle this. You never learn, do you, Rusty?

  Vice Principal Thorne : You stay away from me.

  Harold Howard : I want you to leave my son alone. He's a good kid. He's just having a tough time right now. OK?

  Harold Howard : [Harold growls, then looks down at Thorne's pants]  I knew I could count on you, Rusty.

• Scott Howard : I was with Stiles this afternoon.

  Harold Howard : I know.

  Scott Howard : You saw?

  Harold Howard : Yeah, I saw, unless that was another werewolf doing a handstand on top of Stiles' wolfmobile and making a fool of himself.

• Harold Howard : I was hoping it would pass you by.

  Scott Howard : Well, Dad it didn't pass me by. It landed on my face.

• Scott Howard : I'm trying to get a grip on this. I really am.

  Harold Howard : Is Thorne still on your back?

  Scott Howard : Yeah, Thorne, some Neanderthal named Mick, and the entire basketball team.

  Harold Howard : You've dug your own hole with those fellows, but this Thorne business is my fault.

  Scott Howard : What do you mean your fault?

  Harold Howard : It goes back a few years. As you know, I loved your mother since we were kids. We were meant for each other. But for some reason Rusty Thorne set his cap for her too. No matter what we tried, he wouldn't go away. One night, things got physical and...

  Scott Howard : And you turned into the werewolf.

  Harold Howard : Out of anger, Scott. I turned into the werewolf out of anger. In front of his beady, little eyes.

  Scott Howard : Was he scared?

  Harold Howard : Scared? He lost control of his bodily functions.
