"Let me get this straight. You don't want to cheat on your girlfriend with your wife?"

Mickey: "Why are you getting so upset Dad? You don't even believe in God."
Mr. Fitzpatrick: "That doesn't mean I'm going to stop being a good Catholic."

Mr. Fitzpatrick: "She's gonna be devastated. She's been up at that goddamn church every morning praying for your brother. And then yesterday she tells me I spend too much time on the boat. I don't even want to get into that discussion. And now you're gonna get divorced? Christ. She'll be up with Father John twenty-four hours a day. Thanks a lot, buddy. I'm probably going to have to start making my own breakfast again."
Francis: "I'm sorry if my divorce interferes with your breakfast plans, Dad."

James Court: "You're not a permanent part of her life. You're a distraction."
Lloyd Dobler: "I'm the distraction that's going with her to England, sir."
