• Henry Clayton : What?

  Michael Clayton : Your uncle Timmy, and I mean this, on his best day, is never as tough as you. I'm not talking about crying or drugs or anything like that. I'm talking about in his heart. In his heart. Do you understand me? And all this charming bullshit. This Big Tim, Uncle Boss bullshit... and I know you love him and I know why... but when you see him like that you don't have to worry... because that's not how it's going to be for you. You're not going to be one of these people who goes through life wondering why shit keeps falling out of the sky around them. I know that. I know it. OK?

  [Henry nods] 

  Michael Clayton : I see it every time I look at you. I see it right now. I don't know where you got it from, but you got it. OK?

  Michael Clayton : [phone rings]  Hold on...

• Henry Clayton : It's really happening.

  Arthur Edens : Yeah, It is happening, isn't it? Something larger than themselves and they're not ready, are they to hear it?

  Henry Clayton : Yeah. But later they will.

• Michael Clayton : Uncle Timmy- and I mean this- on his best day, he was never as tough as you. And I'm not talking about crying or the drugs. I'm talking about in his heart. You understand me?

  Henry Clayton : Okay.

  Michael Clayton : Big Tim... Uncle Boss... all his charming bullshit. And I know you love him. And I know why. But when you see him like this, you don't have to be afraid, because it's not how it's gonna be for you. You're not gonna be one of those people who goes through life wondering why shit keeps falling out of the sky around them. You have some real steel in you, Henry. Inside. I see it every time I look at you. I see it right now.

  Michael Clayton : I don't know where the hell you got it from, but you got it.
