You were right. I was playing games with you. I was very angry, and I was acting out.
Acting out? You sent me a hand grenade and almost killed your stepfather.

Getting away from you was the best thing that could've happened to me. It gave me clarity.
Did it?
You wanted to completely control of my life, so you took away my free will. Some pretty terrific parenting, real mother-of-the-year type stuff.
Your Honor, Miss Hewes's claim of relevance is based solely on a vacation Mr. Malina took to Palm Beach. My mother-in-law has a time-share in Sarasota. Perhaps Miss Hewes would like to subpoena her.
Conscience is a liability, Ellen. You feel guilty, you unburden yourself, what happens? You feel better, but the people you're coming clean to? Trust me. Maintaining the illusion of loyalty is far more effective than admitting the breach.
I don't know why I believed you would help me. I should've seen it.
Seen what?
That your whole life is a lie.
[Choosing a cake for their wedding] Whatever you like is great with me, just nothing too... lemony.
Wait. No, no! I'm not deciding.
Why not?
Because I'm the guy. I don't give a shit.
Okay, fine, fair enough.
Patty Hewes has ears, too. Maybe I'm talking to the wrong person.
Larry, you don't want to threaten me. Take the money.
I mopped your floors, you son of a bitch! 34 years I cleaned your shit.
[about Ellen's father] Better be careful. We plaintiff attorneys can be vicious. His best strategy is to blame the victim.
I know.
[about the plaintiff] At all costs it was her fault; period.
GPGary Parsons
So I should just go in there and lie?
I'm saying that they will. They'll spin into gross negligence. This is the real world, Dad.
GPGary Parsons
I don't need you to teach me about the real world.
You know, the truth is, Larry, I like you. But I think you're in over your head. And prison is the last place you belong. Arthur Frobisher is smart. I'm sure he's got a way to get you his blood money with no paper trail, so I'm really just here tonight to make you a promise.
LPLarry Poplar
Oh yeah? What's that?
I'm gonna wait and watch. Until you buy a house, or Mildred buys a car, or Chloe here buys a toothbrush. You need to understand this, Larry. No Poplar for the next hundred years will be able to spend a nickel of that money without being humiliated, disgraced, and locked up. [long pause] You all have a nice night.
[to Gregory] You tell me one lie, and I will cut your dick off.
NNancy
[to Arthur] People expect a CEO to be strong. They see too much of the soft side, it looks like an act. You've got to be heartfelt without sounding like a pussy. Now, you think you can do that?
I know you don't give a shit about justice, Patty. So what do you want?
I want you disgraced. I want history to erase your every achievement. I want you to feel the disgust in your children's eyes when they look on you in shame.
GMGeorge Moore
I don’t like you, Ray, but I realized an amazing thing on the way over here. You’re not my problem, Arthur is.
I have a duty …
GMGeorge Moore
Patty Hewes is a hair away from breaking this thing wide open. So I’m going to do what you couldn’t, Ray.
What is that?
GMGeorge Moore
Put an end to this thing.
[about David] He called off the engagement?
Maybe we went too far. [Pause] Do you regret what we did?
