Quotes 

• Tim Cornell : You never trusted me before. You have to trust me now.

  Michael Bosworth : I blow her head off, Timmy.

• Michael Bosworth : I'll be outta here in less than an hour.

  Tim Cornell : What about us?

• Tim Cornell : Give me the gun. You're dying, Wally, you're not going anywhere. Give me the gun.

• Tim Cornell : She still going out with Kyle? Nora? Nora, I never liked that kid. Kids his age are supposed to be cocky, full of life, you know what I mean? Trouble with Kyle is he thinks too much.

  Nora Cornell : We can't all be full of surprises like you. Kyle's reliable. If she marries someone like him, she won't have to worry about him running off with some female half his age. Of course I'm only quoting.

  Tim Cornell : That is not fair, Nora. Okay, so Karen is 24 years old. So what?

  Nora Cornell : Fair? That what you still think life has to be, Tim, fair? Jesus Christ, when are you going to grow up?

• Tim Cornell : You need any money? Anything you and the kids need?

  Nora Cornell : Please, Tim, not that!

  Tim Cornell : Well, what do you want?

  Nora Cornell : What I have always wanted. Somebody that I can trust! Somebody that I can depend on! Not you!

  Tim Cornell : I do want to tell you one thing. I figured it out. I took up with Karen because she wasn't you.

  Nora Cornell : Well, even dumb me figured that one out.

• Nora Cornell : I can't believe anything you say, Tim.

  Tim Cornell : No, I don't blame you. Are you sure you want to sell the house? The kids are settled here, and all the work you've put in.

  [She gives him a withering look] 

  Tim Cornell : Okay, I'm sorry. Too many bad memories, huh?

  Nora Cornell : And good ones.

  Tim Cornell : One thing you've got to believe, Nora. I never wanted to hurt you.

  Nora Cornell : Well, you struck out there.

• Tim Cornell : The truth is, Nora, I came here this morning hoping to talk to you.

  Nora Cornell : What are we doing, wrestling?

  Tim Cornell : You always make sure you're not here when I pick up Zack.

  Nora Cornell : We have nothing more to say to each other. You want to talk to me, talk.

• Tim Cornell : Look, I came to tell you that Karen is over. I've broken up with her.

  Nora Cornell : Poor baby, abandoned at her tender age.
