23	->'''Phineas:''' My idea is for the two of us to, I don't exactly want to call it running away, but…uhh… we leave and go and find our dads. I mean, we're eleven! I think we deserve to know who our real dads are and what happened to them!
24	->'''Isabella:''' I think you're right, Phineas. I think we do deserve to know. But I hope you know that this isn't gonna be easy. If our parents haven't told us about them, then they probably don't want us to know. I have no idea if my mom will even tell me his name.

35	->'''Severa:''' Are you insane!? He's definitely gone!\
36	'''Morgan:''' There was no body! They only found Chrom's – you can't take these things for granted with Father! If they couldn't find it, then he surely must be -\

47	-> It had been a simple mistake, Magnolia forgetting to change out of her clothes as she came back from her friend's place, who owned a dog. Walking around the house, sitting on the couch, touching things. When Nathan came back home that day, he went into anaphylactic shock, and had to be urgently brought to the hospital. A near miss. Not an isolated incident, nor the worst by far. Randall had endured thirteen years of this, of either Judith or Nathan having a terribly severe allergy attack for apparently no reason, only because fate decided immunodeficiency disorder was a thing.

57
58	->'''Indiana Jones:''' It was just the two of us, dad. It was a lonely way to grow up. For you, too. If you had been an ordinary, average father like the other guys' dads, you'd have understood that.\
59	'''Professor Henry Jones Sr.:''' Actually, I was a wonderful father.\
60	'''Indy:''' When?\
61	'''Henry:''' Did I ever tell you to eat up? Go to bed? Wash your ears? Do your homework? No. I respected your privacy and I taught you self- reliance.\
62	'''Indy:''' What you taught me was that I was less important to you than people who had been dead for five hundred years in another country. And I learned it so well that we've hardly spoken for twenty years.

75	->''The weekly phone calls became monthly, then only on special occasions, then stopped altogether. When Mum told us his new wife had just given birth, we knew it was only a matter of time before even the birthday presents ceased. And cease they did. Everything ceased. Even Mum's child support. We older two had expected it--just never guessed he would erase us all from his life quite so fast. I clearly remember that moment after the final good-bye, after the front door had closed and the sound of Dad's car faded down the street. Huddled up against the pillows with my new cuddly dog and the picture of the house I knew I'd never get to visit, I was suddenly overcome by a huge surge of rage and hatred for a father who had once claimed to love me so much.''

86	'''Carlton:''' Look, I don't wanna see my father with tubes up his nose, okay?\
87	'''Will:''' There's gonna come a time when all he ''has'' is tubes up his nose.\

92	->'''Will:''' It ain't like I'm still five years old sitting up every night asking my mom "When's daddy coming home?" You know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned, didn't I? And I got pretty damn good at it too, didn't I, Uncle Phil? Got through my first date without him, right? I learned how to drive, I learned how to shave, I learned how to fight without him, ''[[SuddenlyShouting I had fourteen great birthdays without him!]]'' He never even sent me a damn card! TO HELL WITH HIM! I didn't need him then, I don't need him now.\
93	'''Uncle Phil:''' Will...\
94	'''Will:''' No, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'm going to get through college without him, I'm gonna get a great job without him, I'm gonna marry me a beautiful honey, and I'm gonna have me a whole bunch of kids, I'm [[BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting going to be a better father than he ever was!]] And I sure as hell don't need him for that, cause there's ain't a damn thing he could teach me about how to love my kids!

But Angelo is so shook-up at the idea that anyone would exploit Britney’s death for profits! Well, you know, [[HypocriticalHumor besides him]]… the second Angelo heard that {{Lifetime\|MovieOfTheWeek}} had made an biopic about his daughter, he immediately called up his lawyer (who I’m guessing is probably [[Series/BreakingBad Saul Goodman]]) because he wants to make sure he sees a cut of the profits."''
