Jimmy and Catherine in “Walking Wounded”

Jimmy

[about Kim] I don't want Joey anywhere near her right now.

Catherine

If you're gonna be angry, Jimmy, do your son a favor and don't let him see it.

Jimmy

How could she do this to him? He just lost Bobby, who was like a second father.

Catherine

He only needed a second father because you haven't been there.

Jimmy

What the hell do you know what I've been there for?

Catherine

Who baby sits? You were staying on her couch, and you never saw anything was wrong.

Jimmy

You see her everyday. Did you? You know, I wasn't supposed to have Joey until Saturday, but I'll trade a few day shifts and I'll pick him up at school tomorrow.

Catherine

No. You should keep to the regular schedule.

Jimmy

Yeah, well, I'll decide what he needs.

Catherine

You know, he doesn't need you riding in on your white horse to save him. He's not a fire. You want to be the hero, but as soon as the crisis is over, when things get boring, that's when you lose interest. It's easy being a hero, what's hard is the day to day. And you know what? That's most of his life. Look, if you want what's best for your son, just stick to Saturday. He'll be fine.
