Quotes

Young Murph : Why did you and mom name me after something that's bad?
Cooper : Well, we didn't.
Young Murph : Murphy's law?
Cooper : Murphy's law doesn't mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever *can* happen, will happen. And that sounded just fine to us.
-
Young Murph : What are you gonna do with it?
Cooper : I'm going to give it something socially responsible to do. Like drive a combine.
Young Murph : Can't we just let it go? It wasn't hurting anybody.
Cooper : This thing needs to learn how to adapt, Murph. Like the rest of us.
-
Young Murph : Dad?
Cooper : Sorry, Murph. Go back to bed.
Young Murph : I thought you were the ghost.
Cooper : There are no such things as ghosts, babe.
Young Murph : Grandpa says you can get ghosts.
Cooper : Maybe that's because Grandpa is a little too close to being one himself. Go back to bed.

[Cooper is sitting at a parent/teacher meeting with the principal and one of Murph's teachers who wants to punish Murph for believing in the Apollo mission to the moon]
Ms. Kelly : Murph got into a fistfight with several of her classmates over this Apollo nonsense. So we thought it would be best to bring you in and see what ideas you might have for dealing with her behavior on the home front.
Cooper : Alright, yeah, you know what? There's a game tomorrow night. She's going through a bit of a baseball phase. Her favorite team's playing, There's gonna be candy and soda...
[smiles]
Cooper : I think I'll take her to that.
[cut to Cooper walking back to his truck, quietly whistling]
Young Murph : How'd it go?
Cooper : [awkwardly] I got you suspended.
-
Cooper : I'm coming back...
Young Murph : [crying] When?
-
Cooper : Murph. You have to talk to me, Murph. I have to fix this, before I go.
Young Murph : I'll keep it broken so you have to stay.
-
Young Murph : I worked out the message. One word. Know what it is? Stay. It says stay, Dad.
-
Young Murph : You wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.
