A scene from 50/50 2011
Adam

Okay... My mom is... I don't know. She's a crazy person. She just worries all day every day. And honestly, it annoys the shit out of me. It's way too much. And it's not helpful, and um, I can’t talk to her. I don't call her back. It's a problem.

Katherine

So she's got this husband who can't talk to her, and this son who won't?

Adam

Uh, yeah, I guess.

Katherine

Makes you kind of a dick.

Adam

Me? [laughs, obviously surprised by her directness] Is that, like, the medical term?

Katherine

Yeah, I mean, listen... You can't change who your parents are. The only thing you can change is how you choose to deal with that.

Adam

Aren’t you supposed to, like, subtly manipulate me into figuring this stuff out? Not just call me on my shit?

Katherine

Yeah, you cleaned my car. So, uh, we are completely beyond that.
