Quotes 

• Patty Hewes : I want you to come home.

  Michael Hewes : I think that would be a mistake.

  Patty Hewes : Why?

  Michael Hewes : Because I like it here. Life is simple, no distractions.

  Patty Hewes : Michael, this isn't you.

  Michael Hewes : Well, that was the point, wasn't it? To change me?

  Patty Hewes : Your behavior, not you. I didn't send you here to become someone else.

  Michael Hewes : You sent me here to prove a point. That you're in control, that you dominate, that, no matter what, you'll always win. And you're right, mom, you will. I've finally realized that.

  Patty Hewes : I don't want to win anything.

  Michael Hewes : Sure you do, and I'm okay with that now. Getting away from you was the best thing that could've happened to me. It gave me clarity.

  Patty Hewes : Did it?

  Michael Hewes : You wanted to completely control of my life. so you took away my free will. Some pretty terrific parenting, real mother-of-the-year type stuff. And I'm glad you did it, because I like it here.

  Patty Hewes : No, you don't. You're coming home.

  Michael Hewes : I'm not going anywhere.
