Who Nose? (1999)

Stephen Collins: Rev. Eric Camden

Quotes 

• Mrs. Jasper : Pete Lawrence collapsed on his way into school. His nose was bleeding and he was having trouble breathing.

  Simon Camden : I didn't know it was serious or at least this serious. I thought it can only make your nose bleed.

  Reverend Eric Camden : A bloody nose is the least of it. Huffing causes liver damage and kidney failure. Heart failure.

  Simon Camden : Can you die from it?

  Reverend Eric Camden : Kids do every year.

• Reverend Eric Camden : [to Simon]  I talked to Mrs. Jasper. Pete told his mom about the other guys and the huffing. Principals' is meeting with the boys and their parents tomorrow... Pete promised to call each of the guys and explain why he ratted them out. No one is going to think it was you.

  Simon Camden : I don't care if they do.

  Reverend Eric Camden : Good for you.

• Mary Camden : I'm not seeing anyone, but in the interest of not lying by omission, there's a guy who's also doing community service that I talk to, but he's just a guy. And doing community service together can hardly be considered seeing someone.

  Reverend Eric Camden : Yeah.

  Mary Camden : And besides, why does punishment always have to be a bad thing?

  Reverend Eric Camden : Um... because it's punishment.

• Reverend Eric Camden : [to Mary]  Hey, do you wanna tell me anything?

  Mary Camden : Not really.

  Reverend Eric Camden : Sometimes when someone leaves out information that absence could be considered a lie by omission.

  Mary Camden : Am I that someone?

  Reverend Eric Camden : I thought we agreed that you couldn't see anyone while you were on restriction.

  Mary Camden : I'm not seeing anyone. But in the interest of not lying by omission there's a guy who's also doing community service that I talk to. But he is just a guy. And doing community service together can hardly be considered seeing anyone. And, besides, why does punishment always have to be a bad thing?

  Reverend Eric Camden : Well... because it's punishment... does this guy have a name?

  Mary Camden : Yes, he has a wonderful name. Robbie Palmer. Now I have to go or I'll be late.

• Mary Camden : Robbie got transferred.

  Reverend Eric Camden : We know.

  Mary Camden : Why'd you do it?

  Reverend Eric Camden : We think your community service shouldn't be anything but community service.

  Annie Jackson-Camden : It's not something you're doing for yourself, it's something you're doing for the community as a payback... when the first phase of your service is complete and if you get a satisfactory review, then we'll see about Robbie coming over so we can get to know him better and you can get to know him better.

  Mary Camden : Then I guess I'm really grateful.

• Simon Camden : How's Pete?

  Reverend Eric Camden : The doctor said there wasn't any permanent damage, but when he's better he'll have to go though a detox program to get the chemicals out of his system. And I recommended that he and his parents meet with a family counselor.
