Phil Quote #192

Quote from Phil in Travels with Scout

Phil: No, if something was wrong, my dad would tell me about it.
Claire: No, Phil, he wouldn't, because you guys never actually talk about anything.
Phil: We talk all the time. He crank calls me at work, like, three times a week.
Claire: Crank calls don't count.
Phil: Counts for fun.
Claire: No, honestly, I think that you should find out what's going on with your dad.
Phil: It's going to be nothing. My dad isn't like your dad. There's nothing deep and dark inside. His hard candy shell is just hiding more candy.

Quote from Phil

Phil: He's not going home? He's never been away from my mom for longer than a doctor's appointment.
Claire: Honey, I know. I told you.
Phil: I always felt bad for people with emotionally distant fathers. It turns out I'm one of 'em. It's a miracle I didn't end up a stripper.

Quote from Jay

Gloria: What were you thinking? Who takes a little boy to a horror movie? That's loco, Jay.
Jay: This is no big deal. You want scary? When I was his age, I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis. I slept with a butter knife under my pillow in case I had to fight some Soviet colonel.
Gloria: Why would they send a Soviet colonel to get a little boy?
Jay: Because I could identify every commie plane.

Quote from Jay

Jay: [aside to camera] One of the greatest days of my life was when my old man sprung me from school and took me to the track. I wanted to do the same type of thing for Manny, plus I figured when Gloria heard about it, maybe it pays off in the bedroom. I wonder if that's why my old man did it. Oh, crap.
