• Kes Madigan : Are you going to her house tonight?

  Robert : I was planning to.

  Kes Madigan : Why can't you just do it here? Wait 'til we're asleep or something.

  Robert : Jesus, Kes.

  Kes Madigan : It's not like we don't know.

• Robert : What's going on here?

  Ben Madigan : They said you lied about mom.

  Robert : I did. But I... I was trying to protect you.

  Michael Madigan : By lying?

• Jude : [Jude has an alcohol glass in hand, only wearing a rope]  Oh Robert.

  Robert : Stay away from Callie.

  Jude : Robert, I'm completely uninterested in what happens with your little whore. All I ever wanted was for us to be happy. To get my family back.

  Robert : You can't have this family back. You broke it, it doesn't go back. You left us.

  Jude : I had to.

  Robert : You-You had to? You... how did you "have to"? Leave Callie and us alone. Leave us alone.

  Jude : No! I will not leave you alone Robert! Because in the courts eyes, I'm still their fucking mama! So unless you truly relish every penny you've ever earned in your fucking life ending up in your lawyers pocket, you really ought to think about being nicer.

  Robert : In the courts eyes, you think what you did to those kids makes you a fit mother? Look at you. Is this how you are when the boys are over here?

  Jude : No. I'm like this.

• Mark Kaplan : The bottom line is, she's still their mother, Robert. So unless she's smoking crack and dealing drugs and even then, the law is on her side. She's their mother.

  Robert : So there's nothing you can do?

  Mark Kaplan : Well we could request everyone go through a complete psychiatric evaluation. If she fails your in great shape.

  Robert : Is she passes?

  Mark Kaplan : You could lose the boys.

  Robert : So I have to let her see them?

  Mark Kaplan : Ya. I mean, unless...

  Robert : I kill her.

  Mark Kaplan : I can't advise you about that. Just don't get caught.
