Quotes 

• Saul Howard : Chuckie, I... I know I'm losing my mind.

  Steve Sanders : [holding back tears]  No, don't say that, Saul. You're going to get better.

  Saul Howard : Nah. You don't have to lie to make me feel good. I know all about my Alzheimer's and what it does to me. Makes me often or occasionally go in and out of these spells, like you saw this morning and this afternoon. Believe me, today was just one of my good days. So, if I do anything strange or crazy, please... don't let it bother you, kid.

  Steve Sanders : Don't worry, Saul. I won't.

• Saul Howard : You're a good kid, Chuckie. No matter what Rush did, he raised a good boy.

  Steve Sanders : [suddenly angry]  Look, do me a favor, okay? Don't talk about my father. Don't even say his name. I'm not talking to him right now.

  Saul Howard : Don't say that. Please. The most important thing is family.

  Steve Sanders : Yeah? Tell that to my old man. I don't think even he knows what the word means. The guy sold me out and cost me my career for a crime I didn't do. That's why I'm here doing community service because he sold me out!

  Saul Howard : What are you bitching about? You got it so bad? Look at you. You got your whole life ahead of you. You're sentenced here to do community service, but I'm sentenced here for life. Why don't you stop complaining?

  Steve Sanders : You don't understand. I hate my father! He makes my life miserable!

  Saul Howard : My daughter hated me, too. She said I worked too hard. I was never around when she and her mother needed me. And she was right. I was always on the road traveling and touring. When I was around, I fought with that kid night and day, 'til we finally stopped talking. Months went by. Then one day I just, out of the blue, I called her on the phone, and I said, "I just want you to know, honey... no matter what happened between us, darling, I love you and I'll always love you." And she accepted it. Two weeks later, I lost her in that car accident I told you about. But I thank God every day that I made that phone call and got to talk to her before her time was up. Chuckie... listen to me. Do the right thing. Don't let too much time go by before you make up with your father. Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
