Alex Rocco: Charlie Polniaczek

Quotes 

• Rose Polniaczek : [Charlie's attempted to be unusually generous since arrived the day before and just tried to give her a beautiful expensive pin]  You are unbelievable. If there's anybody who needs this less than Jo it's me. And it's too late to impress me!

  Charlie Polniaczek : Aw come on Rosie. Give me a break will ya? I'm just trying to say thank you!

  Rose Polniaczek : For what?

  Charlie Polniaczek : Well, it took a lot to send our daughter to this school, and God knows you didn't get any help from me!

  Charlie Polniaczek : [Rose reacts since this is the truth. She turns to look at him]  I wanted to make this weekend special for you. You know, a hotel room with more than one hanger, a meal that came on one more than one plate. Because the way I figure it, it's your graduation too.

  [Hands her the pin again and this time she takes it] 

  Rose Polniaczek : [Softly after a slight pause]  Charlie, I'm impressed.
