Breckin Meyer: Trey Kirkman

Quotes 

• Ethan West : Mr. Kirkman, would you do anything to protect your brother?

  Trey Kirkman : I'm not sure I know what you mean by "anything."

  Ethan West : Well, did you confront me at the White House mess earlier today?

  Trey Kirkman : I wouldn't call it a confrontation. It was a conversation.

  Ethan West : A pretty threatening conversation. I wonder, uh, did your brother put you up to it?

• Trey Kirkman : My brother didn't put me up to anything.

  Ethan West : So you confronted me of your own volition?

  Trey Kirkman : Yep.

  Ethan West : Well, considering the role I play in your brother's fate, uh, do you think that's rational?

  Trey Kirkman : I'll let you be the judge of that.

  Ethan West : It's irrational, but it's not surprising, 'cause your family has a history of mental illness.

  Trey Kirkman : We have no such history.

  Ethan West : Well, you were diagnosed with bipolar disorder and spent two weeks in the hospital in 1998.

  Trey Kirkman : I was under observation. I was going through a break-up with a long-term girlfriend.

  Ethan West : Are you still on your meds?

  Trey Kirkman : Yes. When you're diagnosed, they keep you on the medication as a precaution.

  Ethan West : And your mother was hospitalized, too, with depression in 1975.

  Trey Kirkman : She was briefly in a facility.

  Ethan West : Mental illness runs in your family.

  Trey Kirkman : No, being human does.

• Trey Kirkman : I'm sorry, Tom.

  Tom Kirkman : For what?

  Trey Kirkman : I hurt you in there.

  Tom Kirkman : You think I'm upset about what you said in there? Why didn't you tell me? I'm your brother. All those years, everything you were going through.

  Trey Kirkman : You were busy with your own life. I had spent mine being a burden. I didn't want to be that anymore.

  Tom Kirkman : Trey, you are not a burden.

• Tom Kirkman : When this whole thing is over, regardles of the outcome, I want us to go somewhere. Just the two of us, brothers.

  Trey Kirkman : And forty Secret Service.

  Tom Kirkman : Believe it or not, they're pretty good at keeping a low profile.

  Trey Kirkman : It's a deal, big brother. I know just the place. Fort Knox. I'll bring one suitcase...

  Tom Kirkman : I was hoping that we could go somewhere that wasn't gonna land you in jail.

  Trey Kirkman : Are you gonna show me the UFOs?

  Tom Kirkman : [reconsidering the whole thing]  Okay.

  Trey Kirkman : Tom, I won't tell anybody. I swear.

• Ethan West : Hey, I know you. You're Trey Kirkman. You're the president's brother.

  [offering a handshake] 

  Ethan West : Ethan West.

  Trey Kirkman : I know who you are.

  Ethan West : Really? 'Cause, uh, I mean, if you read the law journals, I-I would get it, but you're not a lawyer. So that'd be just like a weird hobby.

  Trey Kirkman : Not as weird as a political witch hunt.

  Ethan West : Excuse me?

  Trey Kirkman : If you knew what my brother had been through, the type of man he is, you wouldn't be trying to bring him down. You'd be giving him a medal.
