The Perfect Family (2009)

Enrico Colantoni: Sergeant Gregory 'Greg' Parker

Quotes 

• Ed Lane : The baby's in jeopardy. He's going up the coaster but he can't go any place once he's at the top.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Yes, he can. He can go the way his father went, Ed. He can jump!

• Sgt. Gregory Parker : Know what I see? I see a guy who's trying to do the right thing but suddenly finds himself in the wrong place. Is... is that close? I'll bet you... you don't even want to be up here. In fact, I bet you can't imagine why you're even up here.

  Terry Dornan : What, do you think I'm stupid?

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : No. No, I think you got feelings. I think you got big, gigantic feelings, the kind that just come out of your stomach and make you feel like, "What do you do?" sometimes. And you've never had anybody in your life to teach you about those feelings, to help you with those feelings, and that's not fair.

• Terry Dornan : Five years old. I mean, Ma's dead not a year. And we go up to the top of our building.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Hey, just stay with me, buddy. Just stay with me.

  Terry Dornan : And, I remember... he puts me down by the door... and he gives me a piece of paper. I can't read. I don't know what's on it. And I'm just standing there, looking up at my dad... as he walks to the edge.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Terry, you're not your father. You're your own person.

  Terry Dornan : So, what's wrong with me?

• Terry Dornan : All I want is what everybody gets.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : What do you want? You tell me.

  Terry Dornan : I want my family. I want to come home and they're there every day, no matter what. I want my little boy to look at me... and say, "Daddy, don't leave."

• Terry Dornan : [handing the baby to Parker]  You take care of him for me.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : You bet. Here we go.

  [grabs Terry's arm as he takes the baby] 

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Here we go. That's it. I got him. I got him.

  Terry Dornan : I'm sorry.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Let go of him, Terry.

  Terry Dornan : I'm sorry.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : No, you're not going anywhere.

  [puts arm around Terry's back as he struggles to get free] 

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : You're not going anywhere. Don't go, Terry. Don't go Terry. Don't go! Terry, don't go! Don't go, my man! Don't go, my man!

• Ed Lane : Boss, he's headed for the stairs and he's got the baby.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Eddie, stop him.

  Ed Lane : He's too far to tase.

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : Then go lethal.

  Ed Lane : Rubber bullets?

  Sgt. Gregory Parker : That might not do it, Ed. If he makes it up there, that baby could die!

  Ed Lane : Copy that. I don't have a clear shot. Sabine, do you have the solution? Sabine, you have Scorpio, take the shot.

  Donna Sabine : [hesitates and lets subject get away]  Negative, no solution.
