Charles Hawkins quotes from Remember Me (2010)

Charles Hawkins

You could do worse than have a father who bails you out of jail.

Tyler

I don’t want to be bailed out of anything. I just wanted you to know that I didn’t call you.

Charles, It’s your son.

Charles Hawkins

What?

On the phone..

Charles Hawkins

Tyler, you’re on speaker phone

Tyler

Yeah, I’m calling about Caroline’s art show.

Charles Hawkins

What about it?

Tyler

Aaahh…

Charles Hawkins

Hold on. Yes, Tyler.

Tyler

Yeah, I was wondering if you want to have dinner beforehand.

Charles Hawkins

What?

Tyler

Do you wanna have dinner, before?

Charles Hawkins

Yeah. Yeah, that would be fine. How many?

Tyler

Three.

Charles Hawkins

It's 22 today isn't it?

Tyler

Yeah.

Charles Hawkins

Happy birthday.

Tyler

yeah thanks.

Tyler

My father is a Yankees fan. It has something to do with the payroll.

Charles Hawkins

It’s something to do with the significant ball play

Tyler

Right.

Charles Hawkins

You’re a Yankees fan when you where little. You wore a Lou Pinella for Halloween.

Tyler

Just blind familiar allegiance. It’s before I knew what’s overpay, overfed, fat Bastards.

Charles Hawkins

Who’s fat? What Yankee is fat? Tell me.

Tyler

It’s a metaphor. Roger Clemens.

Charles Hawkins

Hum.

Ally

Luis Sojo. Shane Spencer.

Charles Hawkins

He’s big boned.

Charles Hawkins

She knows I’ll take care of her. That’s all there is, Tyler.

Tyler

That’s all there is? It’s not enough.

Tyler

You have a daughter who sincerely believes that you don’t like her. I mean, she is trying to communicate, she is speaking but why aren’t you listening? I mean, why aren’t you riveted? Why is this not the most important thing just for one night?

Charles Hawkins

She knows I love her. Good God, you toss that word around when you have no idea what it means!

Tyler

Maybe I don’t, and maybe Caroline doesn’t either.

Charles Hawkins

I’ve provided her world and yours.

Tyler

That doesn’t mean you can just shatter it! Whenever you feel, When-when-when-when there's something better to do.

Charles Hawkins

Who the hell do you think you’re talking to? You pedal down here in your bicycle for Christ’s sake. You got to take care of nothing. You’re responsible for no one. You’re a kid! You think you’re the first one to lose anything? You think that wherever you feel in your heart I don’t also feel in mine?

Tyler

You didn't find him. See I found him. And you're just so... tragically blind that you think the rest of your children are just gonna hang themselves...

Charles

You little piece of...

Tyler

What!
