Frank : Did anyone see you there? Did anyone see your license plate? Jim : It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Carol : Why should you be the only one involved? Frank : Far be it from me to tell you what to do... Carol : Oh, are you going to preach? Do we have to listen to a sermon now? Frank : Well, I'm only trying to tell him what you mean. You can't be idealistic all your life, Jim. Jim : Except to yourself. Frank : Nobody thanks you for sticking your neck out. Jim : Except - except to yourself. Frank : Wait a minute. Jim : Except to yourself. ... Jim : But I am involved. We are all involved. Mom, a boy, a kid was killed tonight. I don't see how I can get out of that by pretending that it didn't happen. Frank : But you know that you did the wrong thing. That's the main thing, isn't it? ... Jim : You're not tearing me loose again. ... Jim : You are not going to use me as an excuse again. Carol : I don't. Jim : Every time you can't face yourself, you blame it on me. Carol : That is not true! Jim : You say it's because of me. You say it's because of the neighborhood. Carol : No! Jim : You use every other phony excuse. Mom, I, just once, I want to do something right, and I don't want you to run away from me again. Dad? Frank : This is all going too fast for me. Jim : You better give me something. You better give me something fast. Carol : Jimmy, you're very young. A foolish decision now could wreck your whole life. In ten years, you'll never know this even happened. Jim : Dad, answer her. Tell her. Ten years. Dad, let me hear you answer her. Dad, Dad, stand up for me.
