Casey Affleck

Lee Chandler: "If you could take one guy on an island with you and you knew you'd be safe because he was the best man, that he was going to keep you happy, if it was between me and your father who would you take?"
Patrick (young): "My daddy."
Lee Chandler: "I don't think you're wrong about that."

"What happened to my brother?"

Lee Chandler: "I'm just a backup."
Lawyer Wes: "Lee, nobody can appreciate what you've been through, and if you really feel you can't take this on, that's your right."

Lee: "You actually had sex with these girls?"
Patrick: "Strictly basement business."
Lee: "What does that mean?"
Patrick: "It means I'm working on it."

Patrick: "You don't want to be my guardian that's fine with me."
Lee: "Not that, it's just the logistics."

Randi: "I said a lot of terrible things to you, my heart was broken, but I know yours was broken too."
Lee: "No, you don't understand, there's nothing that..."
Randi: "That's not true."

Patrick: "I think there's something wrong with me."
Lee: "Do you want me to call your friends? What do you want me to do?"

Lee Chandler: "I don't understand."
Lawyer Wes: "Which part are you having trouble with?"
Lee Chandler: "Well I can't be his guardian."
Lawyer Wes: "Uh..."
Lee Chandler: "I mean I can't."
Lawyer Wes: "Well naturally I assumed Joe had discussed all this with you."
Lee Chandler: "No, he didn't. no."
Lawyer Wes: "Uh, I, sorry, I have to say I'm somewhat taken aback."
Lee Chandler: "He can't live with me, I live in one room."
Lawyer Wes: "Well, but Joe has provided for Patrick's upkeep. Food, clothes, et cetera, and the house and the boat are owned outright."
Lee Chandler: "I can't commute from Boston everyday until he turns eighteen."
Lawyer Wes: "I think the idea was that you would relocate."
Lee Chandler: "Relocate to where, here?"
Lawyer Wes: "Well, if you look, as you can see your brother worked everything out extremely carefully."
Lee Chandler: "But he can't have..."
Lawyer Wes: "Yes..."
Lee Chandler: "He can't have meant that."
