The Good Son quotes
Page 1 of 2Susan told me you were here. I guess you forgot our appointment.
I just didn't feel like talking.
Talking helps. It helped the last time, didn't it?
You're a doctor. You know things.
Well, some things.
What do you think? What makes people evil?
"Evil" is a word people use when they've given up trying to understand someone. There's a reason for everything if we can just find it.
What if there isn't a reason? What if something just is?
Why, Mark? Do you think you're evil? Cos you let your mother die? You know that's not true.
What if there was this boy? And he did these terrible things because he liked doing them? Wouldn't you say he was evil?
I don't believe in evil.
You should.
Connie Guess what? Mom said we can go skating tomorrow.
Connie, what did I tell you about coming into my room?
Connie But you guys aren't working on anything.
You didn't answer my question, so I'm gonna do it for you. [As Henry speaks, he grabs Connie by her ears, and she cries] You're not allowed to come into my room. Not now, not ever! Never!
You're wrong about that! [Pins Henry against the wall] This is my room, too. And I say she can stay. [He and Henry begin pulling each other's hair]
Connie [running downstairs]
Mom, Mom, they're fighting!
They give you cancer.
Who cares you're gonna die anyway?
Go ahead... eat... drink... don't let me stop you.
What did you do?
Do? Me? Oh... I get it. You think I put something in my family's food... you think that I... Mark, come on... do you really think I'd do a thing like that?
I feel sorry for you, Mark. You just don't know how to have fun.
What?
It's because you're scared all the time. I know. I used to be scared too. But that was before I found out.
Found out what?
That once you realize that you can do anything... you're free. You can fly. Nobody can touch you... nobody. Mark... don't be afraid to fly.
You're sick...
Hey, I promise you something amazing, something you'll never forget. Where's the gratitude?
Oh wait, I just remembered... she's not my mom anymore, she's yours. Isn't that what you said? She's your mother now.
Yeah...
Your mom, my mom... what the hell? We'll both miss her.
I'll kill you first...
Poor Mark... so violent... so disturbed. If you don't watch out, they're gonna lock you up.
Such a sweet little thing... do you really think I'd hurt her?
Yes...
What are you going to do? Watch her all night?
You better stop telling lies about me, because no one's going to believe you.
Sooner or later they're going to find out about you.
Who's they? My dad? My mom?
I told your mom.
Why would she believe you? She's my mom, not yours.
You know, you're wrong about that. She is my mother.
Your mom? You crazy? Your mom's maggot food.
My mom said she'd always be with me. She chose your mom as a way of coming back, but I guess it would be hard for you to understand that, but it's true. She's my mother now.
Hey, Mark... don't **** with me.
I was only trying to scare him.
Ah! Hey, no fair!
No fair? What do you think this is, a game?
Henry said he hated her.
What are you saying?
I told you... I'm telling you... Connie didn't just slip... you don't know what he is... Henry tried to kill Connie and he can do it again.
[slaps him]
Stop it, that's a lie! Henry is my son. He's my little boy and I love him. Don't ever come to me with these lies again.
I can handle it.
Why?
What did you do?
I let someone die.
What if there was this boy... and he did these terrible things because he liked doing them... would you say he was evil?
I don't believe in evil.
You should...
Henry...
Yes, Mom?
You never told me... what happened the night that Richard died?
Don't you know?
I'd like to hear it coming from you.
I was downstairs, playing.
Henry, don't lie to me, alright? Just... don't lie to me. Now, you tell me... did you kill Richard?
...what if I did?
