Quotes 

• David Lee : It isn't fair. I do all the work around here; you never give me a break.

  Dad : Everyone pitches in.

  David Lee : Yeah, but no one works as hard as *I* do. If it weren't for me, this stupid restaurant would go under. You know, I wish I *would* go under so I wouldn't have to slave here anymore.

  Dad : I will pretend I didn't hear that!

• Theresa Lee : You know, I'm not a dope; you don't have to worry about me all the time.

  David Lee : No. Just when I'm awake.

• David Lee : [of the angel pin she gave him for helping him study]  What's this for?

  Theresa Lee : Because, you're my guardian angel.

• Grandfather Lee : You have grand dreams, David. But remember, there is a time for everything. Appreciate what is *before* your eyes, for he who looks too far down the road ahead, may wander off the path for him.

  David Lee : Yeah... Thanks, Gramps.

  [he grins and heads off] 

  David Lee : And that means...?

  Theresa Lee : How should I know? He gave *you* the box.

• David Lee : [reading]  "One should learn perfect existence through imperfect existence"... What kind of a dumb fortune is that?

• David Lee : You gotta help me. I don't know what to do.

  Theresa Lee : You can start by leaving.

• David Lee : You really *don't* know me. It's like I never was a part of this family.

  Theresa Lee : Lucky you.

• David Lee : [sees the comic based off his characters on the bed with her things]  You know, I created this.

  Theresa Lee : Yeah? You must be pretty rich, then. So Mr. Comic-Book Dude, does being rich make *you* happy?

• David Lee : Wait - please. Those fortune cookies - I don't know, they have some kind of magic in them. They're the only way; I have to make things right again.

  Theresa Lee : Right? What do you mean, right? You're a rich comic-book guy; things are perfect for you.
