"Don't be friggin' ridiculous, you bein' around is a gift. It's just— you know, Father's Day always kind of sucked. It was just salt in the wound, remindin' me of what I never had. That was the day I'd get in fights, come back bloodied, and with black eyes. It was always like a punch in the gut. I'd get so pissed at the people bitchin' about how their old man bossed them around when I never had that." He shook his head at the memories. "My dad never did come back from the war, but I turned out okay. Hell, I turned out friggin' awesome. Just because my father was never there don't mean that I can't be the best damn dad in the whole world." Liam leaned down and kissed her forehead. "But it don't matter. I'm happy now, and my kid ain't never goin' to wonder where their daddy is. I'll be there for every recital, every baseball practice, and every school event. So thanks, Sophie. Thanks for always bein' there and for makin' me so damn happy. Sorry if I seem out of it, just this day always leaves me feelin' a bit off. It just feels weird that I could ever feel good on the worst day of the year for me."
Ray: So granddad hit your dad, and your dad hit you, and... you never really hit us.
Frank: I couldn't, you know. I was always weaker than him.
Robert: Maybe you didn't want to be like him.
Frank: I didn't.
Frank: I couldn't, you know. I was always weaker than him.
Robert: Maybe you didn't want to be like him.
Frank: I didn't.
I am many things, but I will not be the mother you were to me.

Oh, Hank. You ain't in competition with me! Hell, if it's a contest on who's the better daddy, you win. I mean, you made Bobby! All I made was you.

Hades: I have done virtually everything within my power to prevent this. All of it... for nothing. The Fates were not content to saddle me within the earth; they mock me, still.
Zagreus: Maybe they just think you're in the wrong. And that you're an obstinate, overbearing, miserable excuse for a husband and father. Don't you understand I'm trying to fix the problems you caused? Since you're so unwilling to do it yourself.

Max: Wait... did you name the girl [Morgan] after your bugfuck nuts mom? Are you sure that's not uh... a pretty fuckin' bad idea?
Tanya: BELIEVE me, we've had this conversation.
Max: Why the fuck would you do that?

Julio: You never told me you had kids.
Tino: Yeah, well, we don't talk much. That's why I'm always asking you to hook me up at your job. A Native trying to change his ways. I can't have my kids growing up like I did.

Atreus: Father? What was Spartan training like?
Kratos: Unforgiving.
Atreus: Is that why you didn't train me like one? Did you... not think I could handle it?
Kratos: I did not think you should have had to.
Atreus: Thanks.
Kratos: Unforgiving.
Atreus: Is that why you didn't train me like one? Did you... not think I could handle it?
Kratos: I did not think you should have had to.
Atreus: Thanks.

No, grandma never knew
Her mama never taught her, so she missed a step or two
I realized she just did her best and as I grew
I gathered tools she never had so that I could teach you"
