Quotes 

• Todd Marten : I don't know what we're gonna do. We've tried everything. She's out of control. She breaks things. She hits her mother.

  Police Officer : What happened to your hand?

  Todd Marten : Uh, that was an accident. Look, if you could just get that knife away from her, calm her down, I'm sure we could...

  [the police officers have caught Deena and they bring her downstairs. The Police Officer is writing a report. But Todd is there and sees her] 

  Todd Marten : We're taking you to the hospital.

  Police Officer : No, you're not. She's under arrest.

  Todd Marten : Arrest for what?

  Police Officer : Assault.

  Todd Marten : Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, we don't want this.

  Cynthia Marten : You can't arrest her.

  Police Officer : Take her out.

  Cynthia Marten : You can't do that.

  Todd Marten : Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, we didn't ask for this. We didn't call the police.

  Adam Marten : I did. It was your idea. At the hospital, you said that...

  Todd Marten : I didn't say you should call the police.

  [the officer hands over the list to Todd] 

  Police Officer : Here, you can see her in the morning. This'll tell you what to do.

• Adam Marten : You're always saying "Don't upset Mom." I thought if I told her the truth, she'd be upset.

  Todd Marten : Did I tell you to lie?

  Adam Marten : No.

  Todd Marten : Garret's on suspension for hitting a teacher. Your mom should have known that. Are you lying to me now?

  Adam Marten : No.

  Todd Marten : And you're absolutely sure you don't know where Deena is? I want the truth, Adam.

  [Todd Marten can't handle the truth]
