The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most (2003)

Moira Kelly: Karen Roe

Quotes 

• Karen Roe : It's hard to fight the things we are afraid of. Sometimes we just need a little help.

• Lucas 'Luke' Scott : I didn't want to be like him and I was afraid that I'd become him if I played. In the gym, I felt like he had a piece of me. I never felt like that on the playground.

  Karen Roe : Well, I'd say he's taken enough from us. I took the night off to watch my son play again. The way that he used to when he loved the game more than anything

• Keith Scott : Karen. Ready to go?

  Karen Roe : Oh, I'm not going. I decided to stay open. I could use the business.

  Keith Scott : You talk to Luke about this?

  Karen Roe : No, but he'll understand.

  Keith Scott : Karen...

  Haley James : She doesn't want to go. She doesn't want to see her high school sweetheart slash your brother Dan slash the jerk who abandoned Lucas slash the father of Nathan, the team's star player slash my wrists if I hear this story again. Let's go.

  Keith Scott : I think you're making a mistake.

• Karen Roe : [Karen, Lucas, and Haley are sitting at a table in the cafe. Karen has just learned that Lucas and Nathan have fought in class, becuase Nathan described Lucas in one word... bastard]  So, are you going to tell me about the fight, or are you going to assume that I know while I yell at you?

  Lucas 'Luke' Scott : Mom, listen...

  Karen Roe : No, when they called me from school today, I was sure they had the wrong Scott. Then they told me they had both Scotts, and I could take my pick. Honestly! Fighting in school, Lucas? Fighting at all? My God, Lucas, what were you thinking?

  Lucas 'Luke' Scott : But he was being a jerk, mom!

  Karen Roe : And this is something new? He hasn't been a jerk before?

  Lucas 'Luke' Scott : Yes, but...

  Karen Roe : Then, why sink down to his level?
