Boiler Room - Father-Son Dynamics and Tough Love
Judge Marty Davis:
I'm not your best friend. That's your mother's racket. I'm your father. I tell you when you screw up. What did you think I was gonna do? Pat you on the back for this casino idea? Tell you what a great entrepreneur you are? So what do you want me to do, Seth? I mean, my God, if I would have called my father to meet me for a cup of coffee to talk about my screw-ups, he probably would have laughed. We didn't have nice little chats about why I was a bad boy. I got smacked. And I didn't do it again. Much simpler.
Seth Davis:
Look, you know, I'm just trying to restore what's left of our relationship. I mean...
Judge Marty Davis:
Relationship? What the fuck are you talking about, relationship? What, are we dating? I'm not your girlfriend, Seth. I'm your father. Clean up you life, make an honest living, and then you and I can talk like normal people, all right?

Boiler Room - Confrontation of Betrayal and Deceit
Judge Marty Davis: [to Seth]
I spoke to Howard Goldberg over at Prudential, you lied again you unbelievable piece of shit, you lied to all of us, tell me about J.T. Marlin, it's a chop shop Seth, you've selling their shit all this time, how many people have you fucked over? All that bullshit about how their business works? "The great training program", remember? "All the profits you made for your customers", did you do anything for them? Did you make them any money at all? I'm done with you Seth, this it, I've had it with you, I don't ever want to see you again, I don't want you to come by the house, I don't you to call, this is worse than the casino, you've been stealing, you're destroying people's lives.

A Star Is Born - The Finality of Loss
Carl:
How long have you been here now?
Jack:
Two months.
Carl:
Can it be fixed?
Jack:
Well, you would know that, don't you? Once it's gone, it's gone.
Carl:
I don't know what you have.
Jack:
Oh, well the tinnitus, they say, once you...
Carl:
Oh, tinnitus can't be fixed.
Jack:
Right. Well, I just hear that tone, that's all. The tone, yeah. The ringing.
Carl:
I have hearing aids on, as you...
Jack: [pause]
No, I know. That's why I asked you. You know, I'm convinced that it happened when I was younger, I used to... My dad had a Victrola, you know an old record player. My head was just about the size of it when I was a kid, and I used to love to just put my whole head in there. He was big into the blues, so... Cause you gotta figure it's just me and him all day long. My brother's out there tryin to make something of himself. So I took one of his belts. I put it around the ceiling fan and uhh, tried to do the deed. The whole fucking fan came out of the ceiling.
Jack:
Had a big cut on my fucking forehead. I was more mad about that than it not working. And he didn't even notice. He didn't even fucking notice.
Carl:
Cause he was drunk?
Jack:
Yeah. That fucking fan stayed on the floor for about half a year.
Carl:
How old were you then?
Jack:
I was just shy of 13.
