William Sadler: Darrin Tyler

Quotes 

• Jaye : I got fired.

  Darrin Tyler : Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

  Jaye : Sharon and Aaron can have their words back. I won't be needing them; ever, apparently.

  Darrin Tyler : Nonsense. You're gonna make good use of those words. Think of this as an opportunity. W. failed the first time he ran for Congress and look how far he got; President of the United States.

  Jaye : You don't seem terribly surprised that I got fired.

  [seeing Bianca on the couch with her mother] 

  Jaye : What's she doing here?

• Darrin Tyler : [reading Bianca's article about Jaye]  "Like the falls of Niagara which rage at the center of her little town, some powerful force forever threatens to sweep Jen into roiling chaos. It is a force against which she struggles, a power she cannot name. Whether it is the undertow of contemporary life or something more ancient, life as it has always been, Jen will continue to struggle, to thrash and fight, yet in her most personal, unguarded moments, she will speak of a calm pool, a place where the waters become still and the chaos abates, a place where a father's wisdom, a mother's compassion, a brother's protection, and a sister, 35, all combine to show Jen she is not alone."

  Karen Tyler : Aw, sweetheart, of course you're not.

  Sharon Tyler : I am not 35!

  Karen Tyler : And you're not a lesbian, either, but you can't expect her to get every detail exactly perfect.

• Darrin Tyler : "Thumbing Through the Finger Lakes with Karen Tyler. About the author. Karen Tyler is the award-winning author of several best-selling travel guides.

Son Aaron is the youngest non-Asian to win the prestigious Fulton Scholarship for religious studies and is currently pursuing his doctorate in comparative religion. Jaye, a daughter, is 24."

  Jaye : Uh...

  Darrin Tyler : Congratulations, sweetheart. I think this book might be your best yet.

  Aaron Tyler : It's certainly the heaviest.

• Jaye : How come I only get five words on your inner flap?

  Karen Tyler : Well, it's a blurb, dear. I'm only allowed a certain amount of words for that.

  Jaye : Sure used up a lot of them on Aaron. He got 26 words. I got five. And one of mine's a digit.

  Darrin Tyler : Jaye, sweetheart, don't parse the blurb.

  Sharon Tyler : Really, though.

  Jaye : Easy for you to say. You got 19.

  Sharon Tyler : I counted 22.

  Karen Tyler : Your brother and your sister are older than you. They require more words because they've lived more.

  Jaye : Achieved more, you mean.

  Karen Tyler : No. They've had more opportunity to excel. Your time will come.

  Darrin Tyler : We're all looking forward to expanding your sentence.

  Jaye : You know, I did actually graduate from Brown with a philosophy degree. I might even still have it somewhere.
