William Sadler: Darrin Tyler

Quotes 

• Darrin Tyler : So, I hear you went to your reunion.

  Jaye Tyler : You talked to Mom?

  Darrin Tyler : Yeah, well, we sleep together.

  [Jaye opens the car door for him] 

  Darrin Tyler : Thank you. Listen, I'm, uh... I'm sorry if you felt pressured to go because of me.

  Jaye Tyler : Oh, please. I forgive you.

  Darrin Tyler : So, you had no fun at all?

  Jaye Tyler : I think it's fair to say you had more fun when I ran you over. But I'm glad I went.

  Darrin Tyler : Well, I'm glad you ran me over.

  Jaye Tyler : Ha ha.

  Darrin Tyler : No, I'm serious. You're my good luck charm. You know those pointless, routine tests that they held me for? They found a blood clot in my leg, deep in a vein. It could have killed me. Thanks to you, they found it in time.

  Jaye Tyler : But you're gonna be okay?

  Darrin Tyler : I'm great. I'm going to breakfast with my daughter.

  [Jaye starts the engine] 

  Darrin Tyler : Use your mirrors. Say, did you know our basic cable comes with lesbian porn?

• Darrin Tyler : [moving trash toters from the driveway]  Can't believe they'd leave a mess like this.

  Muse : [to Jaye through a flamingo yard decoration]  Get off your ass.

  Jaye Tyler : He's fine! You're fine, right?

  Darrin Tyler : Just a couple more. I'll manage.

  Jaye Tyler : See? He's managing.

  Muse : Just get off your ass.

  Jaye Tyler : I'm not listening.

  [she rolls the car window up, then sees more flamingo decorations outside the driver's side door] 

  Jaye Tyler : The service industry is a noble profession. I don't want you comparing yourself unfairly to the achievements of your siblings.

  Jaye Tyler : [closing the door]  Go away.

  [she accidentally bumps the gear shift, and the car starts rolling backward] 

  Darrin Tyler : There are many ways to measure success, and you are not the... sweetheart, the car is rolling! The car is... ooh, ooh! Oh, God! Oww!

• Darrin Tyler : You know, I have to say, your sister really enjoyed her reunion.

  Jaye Tyler : Yeah, Sharon also enjoyed 4-H.

  [seeing a flamingo yard decoration move, she groans] 

  Darrin Tyler : Hate to see you miss out. That's all.

  Jaye Tyler : Yeah. I'll just wear my smock from the store. It already has my name stitched into the vest. I won't even have to wear a sticker.

  Darrin Tyler : Don't denigrate what you do.

  Jaye Tyler : I sell plastic canoes and refrigerator magnets.

• Darrin Tyler : These came for you. "Can't wait. Save the date. Rooster class of '98."

  Jaye Tyler : Oh, God. More?

  Darrin Tyler : Maybe it's time you put in that change of address with the post office.

  Jaye Tyler : If I do that, these people will know where I live.

  Darrin Tyler : Lots of people live in trailer parks. There's no shame to it.

  Jaye Tyler : Who said I was ashamed?

  Darrin Tyler : Good! Then there's no reason for you to skip your ten-year reunion.

  Jaye Tyler : Right, because it's only been six and a half years. I don't miss these people yet, and I don't think that's a problem time can solve.

  Darrin Tyler : [looking out his car's rearview mirror]  Those sons of biscuits.

  Jaye Tyler : I know, huh?

  [looking out the back window, they see the trash toters blocking the driveway] 

  Jaye Tyler : Oh.

• Jaye Tyler : [accidentally putting her father in the hospital]  How many fractures before it's multiple?

  Darrin Tyler : Two.

  Jaye Tyler : How many do you have?

  Darrin Tyler : Seven.

  Sharon Tyler : And people say you're an underachiever.

  Karen Tyler : This isn't a criticism. I'm just curious. How do you run someone down from the passenger seat?

• Darrin Tyler : [finding their trash toters blocking the driveway]  You have any idea how much those sanitation jokers make in a year?

  Jaye Tyler : A lot?

  Darrin Tyler : [going to move them]  Enough to have a little pride in a job well done. This is just sloppy! There's no pride here.

  Jaye Tyler : It *is* garbage.
