Quotes

Reed : Doyle, I canceled a very important business trip to spend this holiday with you.
Doyle : No, you didn't. I called your house and a lady answered. You were a liar to me.
Reed : Don't talk to me like that!
Doyle : It's true.
Reed : You make up your mind, right now, Doyle. Are you coming with me or are you staying here? Your decision is final.
Doyle : [Doyle goes over to his mother's side] I'm staying.
Reed : [Miffed] Well. Fine.
[to Natalie]
Reed : I want you out of here, by Monday.

Reed : [at Natalie's dinner party] I wasn't expecting to see you here, Natalie.
Natalie : I wasn't expecting to see you here, either. I thought you were going to spend some time with Doyle.
Reed : Something came up. I have to go to London in the morning.
Natalie : How does Doyle feel about this?
Reed : I haven't been able to reach him. Well, it doesn't matter. You'll be telling him.
Natalie : What?
Reed : [to Dutch, who is joining them] Could you excuse us? This is personal.
Dutch : [smiles] Sure.
[walks off]
Reed : [to Natalie] Where the hell did you find him?
Natalie : Look, you can tell Doyle yourself. I'm tired of doing your dirty work for you.
Reed : I'm being very nice to you. I gave you a house to live in with your... truck driver.
Natalie : He's not a truck driver.
Reed : [holds up his hand] Don't interrupt. You get a house to live in, you get a monthly check, and you get joint custody of Doyle. You give me a hard time, you lose it all.
Natalie : You wouldn't dare play fair, would you?
Reed : I wouldn't dare lose. Have a nice holiday.
[as Reed walks off, he is stopped by Dutch]
Dutch : Excuse me a minute. I know what you were saying to Natalie was personal. Well, I'm involved with her, now, so this is personal, too.
[talks into Reed's ear]
Dutch : You hurt her and I'll hit you so fucking hard, your dog will bleed.
[smiles]
Dutch : Okay?
