Mr. Brennan and Dawson in “The Long Goodbye”

I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss, Dawson.

Dawson

Thank you, Mr. Brennan. I appreciate it.

He was here, you know. That night. Your father.

Dawson

I know.

I asked him about you. He said, uh, you were a royal pain in the ass.

Dawson

[Chuckles] That's me.

He was proud, though. How do I know that, huh? Well, when I mentioned your name, his whole face just lit up. He said you were this brave kid, but he had no idea how you got to be that way. He said you had a romantic streak a mile long, and he said he was proud to know you. I'm sorry if that makes you sad, Dawson, but I figure if somebody says that about you, you ought to know it. Oh, don't forget your change. And be certain to convey my condolences to your mother, would you?

Dawson

Thank you. I will.
