Byron : I'm at sea three weeks out of every month; and when I'm back at port, I don't have time for this daddy stuff 'cause that's not who I am.
Young Zack : That's okay, sir.
Byron : Wait a second, kid, you don't understand. I'm too old for this. I don't care what the Navy says. This is no place to bring up a kid; like I told you on the telephone, you're better off at that state school back in Virginia.
Young Zack : [TV edit] I'm never going back there. They treat me like trash.
Byron : Maybe that's not for you to say. Goddamn it, don't look at me like that. What happened to your mother had nothing to do with me.
Young Zack : You promised you were gonna come back.
Byron : Is that what she said? That's a female lie. That's bullshit!
Young Zack : I found your letters right after she did it. They said you were coming back for us! You said you loved her, and she believed you! You're a liar.

Byron : I'm Byron; nice to meet you. Come on, let's get your bags, OK?
Young Zack : Yes, sir.
