Quotes 

• Albert Manning : [as he drops Craig off at school]  Listen, listen. Hold on a second, Craiger. Got something for you.

  [gives Craig a bunch of money] 

  Albert Manning : Maybe you can get yourself a new camera. One of those digital ones.

  Craig : Wow! Thanks.

  Albert Manning : If you need anything else, just ask.

  Craig : Sure, sure. Thank you.

  Albert Manning : You're welcome. No hard feelings?

  Craig : No hard feelings.

  Albert Manning : All right, then.

• Craig : [as Craig returns home to collect his things]  I'm just gonna get my stuff.

  Albert Manning : Craig, just leave it, leave it. Come back when we've cooled down. We'll talk this thing through.

  Craig : No. No more talking, okay?

  Albert Manning : Okay, but you're breaking my heart, you know that? Just like your mother. Just, Craig. I know I've been impatient, but it's... work's been really stressful. You can't leave, Craig. I love you.

  Craig : There are three options, Dad: I can go to Children's Aid right now, I can go and stay with Joey while... while we sort this stuff out, or I can come back here and let you beat me.

  Albert Manning : I don't beat you.

• Albert Manning : [arrives home]  Hey, kiddo. You're home so early. Everything okay?

  Craig : Fine, yeah I'm fine. I just uh, I had a long day.

  Albert Manning : Well, don't worry about it. We've got Chinese food, a couple of videos, take it easy tonight, how does that sound?

  Craig : Sure. Why not?

  Albert Manning : Great! Listen, did you get the camera?

  Craig : Uh, no.

  Albert Manning : Why not?

  Craig : Well, the one I really was about a hundred dollars more.

  Albert Manning : That's no problem. We'll go together. Your father's an outstanding angler. How does tomorrow night sound, have dinner out?

  [phone rings] 

  Albert Manning : Hello! Joey. What do you want?

  [Craig is shocked; Albert looks at him angrily while Craig runs upstairs] 

  Albert Manning : Oh yeah, I'm still here.

  Craig : [locks his bedroom door to avoid his father's abuse. Calls Sean while packing his stuff]  Sean? Hey! Hey, man. Um, I was wondering if you uh, were, doing anything tonight.

  Albert Manning : [already off the phone; knocks on Craig's door with the club]  Craig.

  Craig : Wh--what's that?

  Albert Manning : Open this door now.

  Craig : Yeah?

  Albert Manning : Craig!

  [starts breaking into his door] 

  Craig : [startled]  Ok, I'll be right over.

  [hangs up the phone; escapes through the window]
