The War at Home
1996
Maurine Collier: I wasn't screaming. I was using my loud voice.
Karen Collier: You know how in horror movies the door is swinging back and forth from one hinge in front of a dark room, and some stupid moron is walking up to it, just gonna go in, and you think to yourself, 'Why is she doing that? Why is she going in there? What could possible make her go into that room? Doesn't she know better?' Donald: Yeah. Karen Collier: (looks over at her house) Don't let me go in there, please.
Karen Collier: You know, I'm not gonna be mad at you, because I know you have personal problems. Jeremy Collier: What are they? What are these personal problems that I have? Karen Collier: I don't know the medical term, but I suppose you could describe it as being a terminal jerk.
(repeated line) Bob Collier: Did I ever tell you I was friends with a famous cowboy?
Bob Collier: What was that? Jeremy Collier: I said the blessing. Bob Collier: I didn't hear anything. Jeremy Collier: I wasn't talking to you.
Jeremy Collier: Stay away from my door. Karen Collier: It is only your door on the inside. It's anyone's door out here, and I'll stand by it as long as I want to, and you just try and stop me.
Maurine Collier: Well, unless we're going to have a nuclear attack of some kind, it's hard to imagine what else could go wrong.
Melissa: They were scary, your letters. Jeremy Collier: They were scary cus I was scared.
