Quotes
-
Archie Knox : [sitting with Brett's family after meeting them for the first time] Well, I do appreciate the attempt you've all made at avoiding the obvious. It was a worthy effort. But let's cut to the chase, shall we. Robert, how old are you?
Robert Eisenberg : 57.
Archie Knox : And I'm 50. So, that makes me younger than Robert. So everybody feeling good about that right now?
Ethan Eisenberg : I am very relieved. How old were you when Brett was in third grade?
Brett Eisenberg : Grow up Ethan.
Ethan Eisenberg : Brett skipped the third grade.
Ethan Eisenberg : [imitates a buzzer] Well played.
-
Robert Eisenberg : Is Archie alcoholic?
Brett Eisenberg : Yeah
Robert Eisenberg : Look, you know I don't like to get involved in your life. But this is the reason that I don't... That I'm worried about this relationship with this man. If Archie isn't going to take care of himself someone else will. I don't want you to have to spend your life that way.

Ethan Eisenberg : I know I'm not dad, but if you ever need to talk to someone I could try to manufacture something that sounds lucid.
Brett Eisenberg : [pause] The only thing that I can't bear, that's killing me... Is the thought that he was worried about me when he died.
Ethan Eisenberg : He wasn't worried.
Brett Eisenberg : How do you know?
Ethan Eisenberg : I was here the morning that dad got the phone call from Mickey. Well, after he hung up the phone, I told him would gladly assassinate Archie, if that's what he wanted. You know a dieing wish vendetta type of thing.
Brett Eisenberg : Very comforting.
Ethan Eisenberg : Anyway, he said, "Thanks, but I think Brett can take care of herself."
Brett Eisenberg : He really said that?
Ethan Eisenberg : Yeah. That's straight from the words of Robert Eisenberg, MD.
Brett Eisenberg : MD... My Dad.
-
Brett Eisenberg : I know, it's nuts, but when I'm with him I fell like a better version of myself... You know? Funnier, smarter, sexier.
-
Brett Eisenberg : Is this all some sort of experiment, see how long it takes to seduce a young girl?
Archie Knox : Seduce? What would the point of that be?
-
Archie Knox : Take as much time as you need.
Brett Eisenberg : I will.
Archie Knox : But don't forget that I need you too. More than I've ever needed anybody before.
[starts to drive away and then reverses to be next to her again]
Archie Knox : Because you may not think so, but you're different.
Brett Eisenberg : From all the rest?
[Archie nods and drives away]
-
Nurse : Just a minute miss, sorry to bug you. But your father hasn't filled out his dinner menu yet. Would you mind?
Brett Eisenberg : He's not my father.
Nurse : Excuse me?
Brett Eisenberg : I said he's not my father. He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!
Nurse : Either way he eats, right?
[Brett walks into the hospital room, pulls back the curtain, and we see Archie in bed]
Archie Knox : [using a high pitch, mimicking voice] He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!
-
Robert Eisenberg : You're Brett Eisenberg, MD.
Brett Eisenberg : MD?
Robert Eisenberg : My daughter.
-
Archie Knox : Why won't you marry me?
Brett Eisenberg : Are you asking me to explain?
Archie Knox : Yes, I am.
Brett Eisenberg : When I look at you, I see a teacher. But when you look at me, you see a student. Because you like to run away. It's part of who you are. Because, in the end, a girl can't grow up until she looses a father and leaves an Archie.
