Alan Fudge: Mr. Redman

Quotes 

• Mr. Redman : Cooper! Cooper!

  [walks up to Cooper, who has his headphones in and the music cranked up] 

  Mr. Redman : COOPER!

  Cooper Redman : [takes off his earphones]  Something wrong, Dad?

  Mr. Redman : Trish Mears' father just called me. He's threatening to sue.

  Cooper Redman : You know, Dad... Now, getting an abortion was Trish's idea, not mine.

  Mr. Redman : While you were doing what, Cooper? Encouraging her to have your baby?

  Cooper Redman : Maybe not. But we could've worked it out, Dad. Others have. You know, we wouldn't have been the first.

  Mr. Redman : The first? This is the third girl in the past 18 months! For God's sake, man! You're almost 22 years old! When are you gonna start behaving responsibly? How long do you expect me to keep bailing you out?

  Cooper Redman : Dad, it takes two to tango...

  Mr. Redman : GET IT TOGETHER, COOPER! I'm giving you fair warning, pal. One more mess, one more screw up, and you're on your own! Do you understand me? I'm not threatening you. I'm just telling you. One more screw up, and you're out.
