Loco Parentis (2003)

Robert Lindsay: Ben Harper

Quotes 

• Ben : Michael's almost 16. We're about to stop parenting.

  Headmaster : Parenting never stops.

  Ben : Don't you ever say that!

• Roger : [Happily]  Hello, Ben.

  Ben : I'm busy.

  Roger : And I am in love.

  Ben : Roger, you're always in love. I'm always busy. So unless things change, let's just accept we have nothing new to say to each other, OK?

• Michael : The fact is, that now that Mum is "hands-off", it's like there's two Bens, and one of you has to go.

  Ben : What?

  Michael : You're expendable.

  Ben : Erm, I'm what... expendable?

  Michael : That's another thing. You're very slow on the uptake.

  Ben : Michael, are you firing me?

  Michael : Very, very slow.

  Ben : I don't believe this. You can't fire me. I quit years ago.
