“Truth Be Told” quotes from Party of Five

Charlie

I just gotta know, Julia. What are you waiting for, Julia? My funeral?

Julia

What?

Charlie

I mean, I can't get Claudia to shut up about it, and you, I don't hear a word from! Nothing! You don't even stop by! It's like I'm going through all this, and you couldn't care less!

Julia

You think that? You think I don't care?

Charlie

What am I supposed to think? What's take, Julia? How much effort is required to pick up a freakin' phone?

Julia

Maybe it takes, I don't know, some sign, something that I'm a part of your life! I mean, you want me to care, Charlie, but you didn't want me to know!

Charlie

But you do know! Now you know!

Julia

But you didn't tell me! Claudia did.

Charlie

Look, I don't have time to play games with you, Julia.

Julia

Games? You are the one playing games, Charlie. You let me go on and on about my stupid money problems. You don't interrupt. You don't say a word about your health, like your cancer isn't important enough to mention! Like how could Julia possibly care about anything but herself? God, what am I supposed to do Charlie, except take my cue from you? If you have wanted anything from me, if you had expected anything from me, you would have treated me like I was capable of coming through for you. But obviously, you don't. So congratulations, Charlie. I guess you have me pegged.

Charlie

What is this? What is your...God, I'm sick! I'm sick, and you've got a problem with, with my process? Get over yourself, Julia! Man, I thought Owen was the baby of the family!

Sarah

What else?

Bailey

What else?

Sarah

Yeah, what else do you want to yell at me about. Because if this helps you to be angry and scream about how unfair this all is... how helpless you feel, how helpless you are, well then that's what you need to do. Go ahead, I can take it.

Kirsten

I don't want to be the only one Charlie. Because what happens when I disappoint you some day...and I'm scared cause if I'm the only one I have to watch what I say and what I do...I hear what you are saying about them and it's like, I'm next in line to make the same mistakes they're making. I'll call you too much or not enough. Or you're going to get insulted about some analogy I make from my life.

Claudia

It must be bad, otherwise you would have leveled with me. You would have said it's cancer and one in four people who get it die. But you didn't. You said it was one hundred percent curable and then you bought me ice cream.

Claudia

Are you going to die?

Charlie

No, I'm NOT going to die.

Claudia

Why should I believe you?
