Quotes 

• Floyd Gerhardt : Your grandfather left the ashes of the Weimar Republic and came to this country to build a name for himself. He built an empire from a shoe-shine box. Then, and only then, did he send for your father.

  Dodd Gerhardt : Ma, I know the story.

  Floyd Gerhardt : No, you don't. 'Cause if you did, you'd know that you are just a small part of it. That's what an empire is. It's bigger than any son or daughter. Eat.

  Dodd Gerhardt : I'm not hungry.

  Floyd Gerhardt : I'm your mother, you will eat with me. Your time will come. It will, but this isn't it. And if you stand by me now, I promise you that as soon as this crisis is over, I'll hand you your legacy, and I'll turn my thoughts to the grave.
