- Danny: Would it help if I said I was sorry about the dog?
- Avery Ludlow: I think you're a tad late with your apology, son.
- Avery Ludlow: I learned one thing during the war: that you fight with whatever you've got, whatever you can lay your hands on... and you never stop. The minute you do, that's the minute the world rolls right over you.
- Mrs. McCormack: Why are you doing this to us?
- Avery Ludlow: I don't mean any disrespect, but I'm afraid you've got that wrong, ma'am. About who's done what to who.
- Carrie Donnel: How come you don't have any pictures of your sons?
- Avery Ludlow: I don't have any sons.
- Carrie Donnel: Yes, you do. Sam told me.
- Avery Ludlow: He shouldn't have.
