Danny Rayburn quotes from Bloodline

Danny Rayburn

Your life's not always gonna be this perfect. Things happen to people. And then you'll need me. And then you'll know.

Danny Rayburn

Sometimes things happen, and you get clear in your mind. You know who you are, you know what you want, and you know what you have to do. So I'm gonna be around - for a while.

Danny Rayburn

[to Kevin] You look just like that little boy that John and me used to spend so much time ignoring.

Robert Rayburn

Before I sit down, I'd like to say a few words about my kids. Um, there's Meg, my sunshine, who went north to Tallahassee to study law up in Yankee country. And then there's Kevin, my youngest son, whose love of the sea and life, and the 3:00 cocktail kept him here.

Kevin Rayburn

Woo-hoo! Thank you.

Robert Rayburn

And of course there's John, who likes taking care of people so much that he decided to take care of the whole bunch of us, not just the family, the whole damn island. And then... Oh, yeah. Last but not least is my oldest. Mmm. Uh, Danny. The one who got away, you might say. But he always finds a reason to come back. Even if it is to ask for money. I'm only kidding. Weekend wouldn't be the same without you.

Danny Rayburn

I wouldn't miss it, Dad.

Danny Rayburn

Hey, how bad a thing are we doing here?

Don't worry, bro. You ain't Capone.

Chelsea O'Bannon

Well, if it isn't the lesser of two evils. Haven't you learned to stay away from your brother?

Danny Rayburn

You're looking good, Chels.

Chelsea O'Bannon

Only by comparison. Because you look like shit.

John Rayburn

[voiceover] Maybe it was Meg's decision that started this whole thing. I tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen to me. Still I can't blame her for what she did. Whatever mistakes she made, her heart was in the right place. And in the end, she's my sister...

Danny Rayburn

[on the phone to Meg] What did you do?

John Rayburn

[voiceover] ...and I trust her with my life.

Sally Rayburn

Well, you've got a group of six. Father and son and two sets of newlyweds.

Danny Rayburn

They'll be divorced by the time I'm through.

Meg Rayburn

Are you seriously trying to threaten me?

Danny Rayburn

No, baby. I'm not threatening you. I am not threatening you. I could fucking threaten you. I could do the big-brother thing. Bully around the little sister. It's never been our relationship, though, has it? I've always looked out for you. Even when we were little kids, I felt sorry for you because Dad hated me, but at least I got his attention. Now, I don't care if you're fucking around. I don't. I don't judge you. I got your back, Mister. I just hope you got mine. Hey, I wanna tell you something. You don't have to marry Marco.

Meg Rayburn

I know that.

Danny Rayburn

No, you don't. And you may marry him because you think that's what Dad wants. I've watched you try to please him and try to please him. But you just... You can't. You never will.

Meg Rayburn

Why's that?

Danny Rayburn

Because you're not her.

Danny Rayburn

You supposed to be drinking?

Robert Rayburn

I'm supposed to be dead.

Danny Rayburn

I don't care about you. You don't mean anything to me. And if I mean something to you, you mean less than nothing to me.

Chelsea O'Bannon

Why are you doing this?

Danny Rayburn

This is what I do.

John Rayburn

It's good to have you home.

Danny Rayburn

It's so good to be back.

Danny Rayburn

[about her date] Hey Janey, this guy's a teenager, you gotta keep him off balance.

I've got a few tricks.

Danny Rayburn

Hey, don't, don't give him what he wants at the end of the night.

John Rayburn

11 o'clock, no later.

Danny Rayburn

What do you think, I can't get a woman?

John Rayburn

No, I think you get plenty of women. I think you have no problem getting women. But I think there's a big difference between quality and quantity.

Chelsea O'Bannon

Are you keeping secrets from me?

Danny Rayburn

Oh, baby, I got a million of them. A million of them.
