Bereavement

Karen Miller:
[about Allison] She's really taking it hard.

Jonathan Miller:
Well, what do you expect? Her whole life's been turned upside down overnight.

Wendy Miller:
How long do I have to give up my room?

Karen Miller:
Well, just until your father finishes remodeling the den.

Wendy Miller:
I'll be in college.

[Sutter has blocked Melissa's car in a parking lot]

Melissa:
Hey! You're blocking my car.

[Sutter knocks her out and kidnaps her]

[Martin sees Victim #1 strung up in Sutter's basement]

Graham Sutter:
Don't be afraid. It doesn't have any feelings.

[Sutter slices Martin's cheek]

Graham Sutter:
It doesn't hurt. See?

Graham Sutter:
If they have no feelings, they can't know fear. But if they can't know fear... then why do they run?

Allison Miller:
It's funny how everything can change in an instant. A stranger can come along and in the blink of an eye destroy everything.

[Sutter approaches Martin as he is playing on his swingset]

Graham Sutter:
Hi there. I bought this new bike for my nephew's birthday, but he doesn't like the color. Can you believe that? I was gonna just throw it out when I saw you and I thought, "There's a kid who'd probably love a new bike." Am I right?

[Martin nods]

Graham Sutter:
It's right in my truck. Wanna take a look?

[after Jonathan first brings Allison home]

Karen Miller:
You didn't say how pretty she is.

Jonathan Miller:
My side of the family.

[William helps Ted back up after falling out of his wheelchair]

William:
You're dead weight.

Ted:
Yeah, well, I'm not dead yet.

[about the slaughterhouse]

Jonathan Miller:
Graham's a pack rat. That place should be condemned.

Allison Miller:
Somebody lives there?

Jonathan Miller:
Yeah, he keeps mostly to himself.

Allison Miller:
You know him?

Jonathan Miller:
We're about the same age. He never went to school. His dad made him work that place day and night. It was a meat-packing plant till they couldn't afford to upgrade their equipment to code. I'll tell you one thing: I don't miss the smell.

Katherine:
Martin cannot tell when something hurts.

[Allison has come home very late]

Jonathan Miller:
[sternly] Where were you?

Graham Sutter:
Silence is the sound of no fear, no pain. The sound of peace.

[as they drive by the slaughterhouse]

Allison Miller:
What is that place?

Jonathan Miller:
That's the Sutter plant. It's been closed for years.

Allison Miller:
I saw someone there yesterday when I was jogging. A boy.

Jonathan Miller:
A boy?

Graham Sutter:
Curiosity killed the cat.

Graham Sutter:
[to Martin] I envy your serenity. The path to redemption is through forgiveness - absolution. You're my witness.

Jonathan Miller:
SUTTER!

[Jonathan interrupts Allison and William as they kiss]

Jonathan Miller:
Out of the car, Allison.

Allison Miller:
What? I'm not going anywhere.

William:
Yeah, back off, man.

Jonathan Miller:
You shut your mouth!

Wendy Miller:
Great! I don't have any brothers or sisters because Dad's lazy, and now he's scared her off, too!

[after Wendy complains to Allison that the Miller's never go anywhere]

Wendy Miller:
Dad, can we go to France?

Jonathan Miller:
Sure. I'll just cash in some stock options.

Wendy Miller:
[to Allison] See what I mean?

Jonathan Miller:
How about Pittsburgh? Huh?
