Quotes

Lucian Knapp : All right, Mr. Cain, tell me again why Leopold had a bodyguard.
Conrad Cain : I've told you. There were threats.
Lucian Knapp : Well, what kind of threats?
Conrad Cain : Well, you've read my hate mail.
Lucian Knapp : Yeah, but none of those threats were directed specifically at your son.
Conrad Cain : Yeah, okay, but you gotta understand...
[a chopper whirs overhead]
Conrad Cain : This is getting to be... All right, listen, you have to understand about Leopold. He... He has a very active, uh, you know, imagination.
Ellie Cain : A year ago...
Conrad Cain : No, El...
Ellie Cain : [louder] A year ago, Leo came home from school and he was upset.
Lucian Knapp : Upset about what?
Ellie Cain : This man... this man he met in Central Park.
Conrad Cain : Who?
Ellie Cain : I don't know.
Conrad Cain : He was probably just like, you know, a homeless guy.
Ellie Cain : He called him Joseph. I think it was after a book, maybe. I'm not sure.
Lucian Knapp : What... what happened?
Conrad Cain : Nothing happened! It's Central Park. They let anyone in.
Ellie Cain : What if he was real?
Conrad Cain : It's crazy! He wasn't real!
Lucian Knapp : Then why'd you get him a bodyguard?
Ellie Cain : He didn't. I did.
Lucian Knapp : Why?
Ellie Cain : Because he said he was coming for him.

Conrad Cain : All my life, I have been able to picture the things I wanted - I would see something in my mind's eye, and I would keep it there frozen, you know, like a snapshot - and... and then I would do whatever it took to make that picture real, and then I'd, you know, move on to the next thing; but, with Leo... I can see him... coming home like he's ten minutes late for dinner or something, and... I mean, I can... I can see it so... clearly, and I want it so bad... you know, but I... I mean, I... I-I can't think of a damn thing that... that I... that I could possibly do to make that picture real.
