An American Family (2007)

Rob Lowe: Robert McCallister

Quotes 

• Robert McCallister : Look, I don't share many of my future mother-in-laws views either... but she's not un-patriotic and she's certainly not treasonous, your words.

  Luther Reeves : And I stand by them.

  Robert McCallister : Well I'm not going to give you a education on discourse, but if you think that I came on here today to distance myself from Kitty or her liberal mother or her gay brother or my gay brother for that matter, well, Luther, you have got to be nuts.

  Luther Reeves : Well that's extremely disappointing, because I believe America is looking for a leader who has the courage to stand up for what's right and to point out what's wrong.

  Robert McCallister : And I think America's looking for someone who knows the difference. And the only way to do that is by listening... not antagonizing. My future in-laws are very different from me. And different from each other, so they are by definition my greatest asset... because they remind me that we are all part of a larger American family and that no one is irrelevant and no one should be ignored. And Luther, I think the bigger question is not why I feel a part of them, but why you don't.

• Robert McCallister : Oh, um, you know, about the other thing... my answer... when soldiers stop dying.

  Travis March : What?

  Robert McCallister : That's when I'll stop going to funerals.
