Tear Jerker / Goon (2011)

Go To

  • Doug's family visits him in Halifax. He takes them out to dinner and offers them the puck from the first goal he ever scored, clearly expecting them to be proud of him for being successful in a new career; instead, they ask when he's going to quit playing hockey and chastise him before storming out.
    Doug: For once in my life, I'm a part of something! I get to wear a uniform that doesn't have "Security" on it. Kids buy it! And they wear it! And it's got our name on it! And for whatever reason, you guys think that I could be smart enough to be a doctor. I have fist smarts. Now, I can fight. I'm strong. I can protect people. That's who I am, this is what I do. And you should be proud of me.
