Quotes 

• Alex Stone : Don't do that, Daniel. Come on. Don't talk to me like a minister. Talk to me like a man.

  Daniel Cooper : Excuse me! Talk to me like a man? Like a man? Are you saying that because I'm a minister, I'm not a man?

• Alex Stone : [troubled by how her son will react to his father leaving]  What I'm worried about is Dylan.

  Daniel Cooper : He'll be okay.

  Alex Stone : How do you know?

  Daniel Cooper : Because he has a fantastic mother. There's a lot of people on this island who care about him. We're all going to take good care of him.

  Alex Stone : Thank you. How do you know just the right things to say?

  Daniel Cooper : [smiles]  Somedays I just get lucky.

• Brian Brewster : [three men drooling over a car]  The girl of my dreams. A 1958 El Dorado convertible. I've wanted one of these since I was 10 years old.

  Daniel Cooper : Did your dad have one?

  Brian Brewster : No. Next door neighbor Elmo Sapp. I dreamed one day that'd be me.

  Nub Flanders : You dreamed you'd be Elmo Sapp?

• Father Mac : [discussing the vandalism against Daniel's church]  I hear this was Cory's handiwork. That's what landed him in the hoosegow.

  Daniel Cooper : The what?

  Father Mac : The slammer. The clink. Up the river. Doesn't anybody watch old gangster films anymore?

• Bonita Vasquez : [counseling Roy on his alcoholism]  We can just sit here in silence if you like, Roy. I just want you to know I'm here.

  Roy : What? You mean we can just sit here the whole session and say nothing?

  Bonita Vasquez : Uh-huh.

  Roy : Good!

  Daniel Cooper : [frustrated at Roy's stubbornness]  Roy...

  Bonita Vasquez : No, Daniel. Silence is fine for today.

• Daniel Cooper : [sensing Kevin's apprehension regarding dancing with Molly]  Kevin, do you not like to dance, or do you...

  Kevin Mitchum : Stink? Oh, yeah! I waaaay stink.

• Daniel Cooper : [asking how Alex is helping Callie overcome her fear of meeting her "internet Romeo"]  What did you say to her?

  Alex Stone : I just told her that if she lied to him, he probably lied to her too. I mean, think about it - 6'3", Rhodes Scholar, Olympic skier? He's albino. He's a dwarf.

• Alex Stone : [very frustrated]  Oh, you drive me crazy sometimes!

  Daniel Cooper : [softly]  The feeling's mutual.
