The Lake House Quotes

Concern and Family Dynamics in Dialogue

Simon Wyler: Where's your brother?
Alex Wyler: I sent him away. He wasn't feeling well. You know how he is, he worries.

The Contrast Between House and Home

Alex Wyler: There should be a stairway down to the water, a porch, a deck. Here, you're in a-- in a box. A glass box with a view to everything that's around you... but you can't touch it. No interconnection between you and what you're looking at.
Henry Wyler: I don't know, you know. He's got this big maple growing right in the middle of the house.
