Ned quotes from Party of Five

Ned

[to Griffin] I think you should leave all the husband/boyfriend/lover jobs to me now. Like fixing her car. Or, fixing her anything, for that matter.

Ned

I hit... sometimes... I hit... I hit her.

Julia

Where's Maggie?

Ned

Are you kidding? She thinks these movies are... I wanna get this right... an exploitation of women, a celebration of violence, and the ultimate proof that at the lowest common denominator, nothing gets our juices flowing like pain and cruelty.

Julia

Well, if she's gonna be *that* way about it...

Julia

Say something to distract me.

Ned

I'm in love with you.

Julia

Something else. Something not so complicated.

Julia

Put down the remote. No more pay-per-view porno 'till we're done.

Ned

It's only soft-core, and we never would have stayed awake last night without it.

Julia

Okay, but I'm about to write Stalin into a three-way, so not now.

Griffin

You know, uh, you're a lot better than my old man was. The only person he managed to fool was my sister.

Ned

How'd you get in here?

Griffin

My ma, she, uh, she was smart, she just took off, and me, uh, as soon as I got picking up, I just started to hit back.

Ned

Look, you're gonna have to leave now.

Griffin

You, uh, you, uh, you manage to fool everybody, huh? Justin, or her brothers, even her.

Ned

This is my dorm, moron. I mean, there's college cops like 10 feet away.

Griffin

Sit down! Now, that's the thing, the messing with her head, that's what makes me want to kill you.

Ned

You know, you're gonna be in a lot of trouble.

Griffin

You guys are done. You hear me? Cause you're not gonna hurt her anymore. And I don't care how it works, but you're done. And you're not gonna see her anymore, ever.

Ned

Actually, I am. I'm gonna see her in about 15 minutes.

Griffin

No, you're not. Cause I'm telling you, if you see her, you're gonna get hurt.

Ned

It's Valentines Day, Griffin. Like it or not. We're in love.

Griffin

Are you listening to me?

Ned

Wanna know what we're doing, on our date?

Griffin

I'm giving you a fair warning.

Ned

Strip poker, in her bedroom. I know it's not so romantic, but we did hearts and flowers yesterday.

Ned, you're gonna have to hear a few things. Julia asked me to come here as her doctor because she's afraid that you might--

Julia

No, uh, let me. Everybody knows, Ned. I called the school, and I called the police and they know you hit me, and they know you hit Maggie. And--And so you're gonna be watched, and, um if you come near me or call me or contact me, you're gonna be charged with assault.

Ned

Julia--

Julia

And I've also called your parents.

Ned

What? My parents? Wh--

Julia

So they can follow up and make sure you get help. 'Cause you're gonna get treatment, Ned, and you're gonna stay there with Dr. Kessel or whoever-- I don't care.

Ned

Wait. Julia, wh-- why? I thought that we were--

Julia

[to Ned] No. Ned, you know what? I'm sick of your lies and I'm sick of your games, and you're not my friend. And I would just walk away from you, except I saw you with this other woman. And I can't let it happen again.

Ned

I saw someone after we broke up. Miranda. We went out six months. But after she told people about us, about me, I spent-- I spent two weeks in jail. And the judge, he practically spat at me, reading my sentence. You know, I know I have problems, I know that. But I wasn't lying to you, I am actually trying. I saw a doctor, I'm seeing a doctor, and I made a promise. I'm not gonna be with anyone. Anyone. Until I know, she's safe. What's it gonna take? How long till people stop looking at me like that?

Julia

I don't know.

Ned

I just-- I just wanna feel human.

Julia

That's not up to me, Ned.

Griffin

What's going on?

Julia

Griffin.

Griffin

What's going on? Did you let him in here?

Julia

It's none of your business. Okay?

Griffin

What's the matter with you?

Julia

Griffin, would you leave, please?

Griffin

Get outta here!

Ned

It's okay.

Griffin

Get going!

Ned

I'm leaving.
