Tom Irwin: Graham Chase

Quotes 

• Patty : I could have died. I did die! I mean, this woman knows and I don't know. She's not even a woman. She's like this 40-year old girl. She's gorgeous and she's telling me about my daughter's sex life, which apparently she now has, and I don't even know about it.

  Graham : Look, the girl talked to her mother. We don't know if it's true.

  Patty : Things are always true. Of course it's true.

  Graham : [gives Patty food]  Here, taste this.

  Patty : I can't taste anything. Guns are going off at school, Angela's sleeping with someone.

  Graham : You don't know that!

  Patty : And even if she isn't, which I pray is true, she obviously has some kind of secret life which is completely apart from us. So what do we do? Do we confront her?

  Graham : Oh God, no. I don't want to know if it's true.

  Patty : What sort of attitude are we supposed to have? Are we supposed to have an attitude? I already have an attitude. It may be my mother's attitude. I don't want to get hysterical about this, but why not? Why shouldn't I be hysterical? She's fifteen! I should be hysterical.
