I Am Sam
2001
Lucy: All you need is love.
Rita: Sam, I can go another nine rounds, but you got to let me in.
Lucy: (being observed) I want no other daddy but you. (turns to the glass) (shouts) Did you hear that? Why don't you write that down?
Rita: It's like every time I wake up, I FAIL!
Rita: Home. Phone Voice: Dialing office. Rita: HOME! Phone Voice: Dialing office. Rita: HOME, GODDAMN IT! Phone Voice: Dialing Dr Sloan.
Sam: YOU'RE MY LAWYER! Rita: That's right. Sam: OKAY!
Sam: You think what they think. Rita: It doesn't matter what I think. It matters that we win. Sam: No, you think what they think. You think Sam can't take care of Lucy! Rita: Sam, it doesn't matter what I think! Sam: It matters to me!
Sam: You're going a little faster than everybody else. I was wondering if you noticed that.
(Sam buys a "preowned" answering machine) Ifty: Yeah. It's an outgoing message so I think you need to sound a little more outgoing.
Lucy: Daddy? Why are you like that? Sam: What do you mean? Lucy: You're different. Sam: Yeah, but what do you mean? Lucy: You're not like other daddies. Sam: I'm sorry. Lucy: No, daddy it's ok. It's ok. Nobody else's daddy ever comes to the park. (Sam giggles) Sam: That's true!
(In Rita's car) Rita: Uhh, Annie we're here. The door handle is right there if... Annie: NO! Sam: I don't think Annie's ready to leave just yet.
Rita: Sam, I was wondering if you could say that. I mean, not lying, but tweaking the truth a little. Do you know the difference? Sam: (thinks for a few seconds) No.
Sam: You don't know what it is when you try, and you try, and you try and you never get there!
Sam: You've grown. Lucy: Have I? Sam: Yeah, 'cause your ears are bigger and your eyes are older.
Rita: I worry, Sam. Sam: About what? Rita: That I am getting more out of this relationship than you are.
Rita: It's just... I've never lost at anything.
Rita: Where is your father? Willy Harrison: Where do you think?
Conner Rhodes: Are you a retard too? Lucy: No! Conner Rhodes: How do you know? Lucy: Because he told me. Conner Rhodes: But he's a retard! Lucy: It takes one to know one.
(making fun of Lucys dad) Conner Rhodes: Sorry Mr Egg.
Joe: Do we get balloons? Shoe Salesman: ... Yeah Joe: All of us or just her?
Conner Rhodes: Why does your father act like a retard? Lucy: He is.
