Paddy Conlon: Come on, kiddo. I've been there. I've done it. I've seen it. You can trust me. I'll understand.
Tommy Conlon: Spare me the compassionate father routine, Pop. The suit don't fit.
Paddy Conlon: I'm really trying here, Tommy.
Tommy Conlon: You're trying? Now? Where were you when it mattered? I needed this guy back when I was a kid. I don't need you now. It's too late now. Everything's already happened. You and Brendan don't seem to understand that. Let me explain something to you: the only thing I have in common with Brendan Conlon is that we have absolutely no use for you.
Brendan Conlon: God, man, I don't understand this. You won't forgive me, but you'll forgive Pop?
Tommy Conlon: Shit. He's just some old vet I train with. He means nothing to me. From what I hear he means nothing to you, either, so you got balls talking about forgiveness.
Tommy Conlon: I'm serious. We train. That's it. I don't wanna hear a word about anything but training, you understand? You wanna tell your war stories, you can take 'em down to the VFW. You can take 'em to a meeting, or church, or wherever the hell it is you go nowadays.
Tommy Conlon: Yeah, I was right, I think I liked you better when you were a drunk. At least you had some balls then. Not like now, tip toeing around, a begger with your cup out. Take it somewhere else. You know what! Here's a cup, why don't you go buy some more of your shitty tapes, and you go back to the room, and you listen to some more fish stories that no one gives a shit about. Now get out of here. Get the fuck out of here!
Tommy Conlon: So you found God, huh? That's awesome. See, Mom kept calling out for him but he wasn't around. I guess Jesus was down at the mill forgiving all the drunks. Who knew?
Tommy Conlon: Now? Where were you when it mattered? I needed this guy back when I was a kid, I don't need you now. You know? It's too late now everything has already happened.
Brendan Conlon: C'mon, it's not as bad as it looks.
Principal Zito: Are you being literal or figurative? Because literally it looks bad. And figuratively it looks even worse. The superintendent's coming by in a few minutes. So gimme a little help here, Brendan. Can you explain to me what the hell you were doing?
