Quotes 

• John Taylor : Your mom and I believe you have to honor that code of conduct. We all signed it. You have to turn yourself in.

  Beau Taylor : Wh-why? I mean, everybody drinks all the time?

  John Taylor : I know. That's why we've been struggling with this. Look, if you believe in God, then you have to tell the truth.

  Beau Taylor : Oh, we've never done that before.

  Alexa Taylor : We do now.

  Beau Taylor : This is stupid.

  [Beau tries to walk off but John blocks him] 

  Beau Taylor : What?

  John Taylor : Do you know what integrity is?

  Beau Taylor : Yes. It's doing the right thing.

  John Taylor : It's not just that. It's doing the right thing when nobody's watching you.

  Grandma Loretta : God's always watching.

  John Taylor : I want our family to have integrity where our words and our actions match up.

  Beau Taylor : You serious?

• Alexa Taylor : She is making me crazy.

  John Taylor : I know.

  Alexa Taylor : It wasn't supposed to be like this. I'm supposed to move my kids out before moving in my mother. She took the... she's taking over my house.

  John Taylor : I know. Babe, I know. Look, this's how she's dealing with it. It's the only thing she can control.

  [John takes his tie off] 

  Alexa Taylor : Okay.

  John Taylor : We gotta talk about Beau's drinking.

  Alexa Taylor : Wait, what drinking?

  John Taylor : The other night when we picked him up, he had been drinking.

  Alexa Taylor : How do you know?

  John Taylor : Alexa, trust me. He smelled like it. He was drunk.

  Alexa Taylor : What's there to talk about?

  John Taylor : Um, our responsibility as parents? Beau's responsibility? We all signed that athletic code.

  Alexa Taylor : John, look around you. Look at this mess. I can't deal with anything else right now. I can't.

  John Taylor : Organizing those boxes is not as important as your family. Look, I've been praying about this.

• John Taylor : [in bed, seeing Alexa crying at the window while it rains]  Honey? Come back to bed.

  Alexa Taylor : I feel like we've made a horrible mistake.

  John Taylor : Well, we didn't. We did the right thing.

  Alexa Taylor : I'm glad my father's not here to see this. It would've broken his heart.

  John Taylor : You're father... would have been proud.

  Alexa Taylor : He was the kind of parent that *I* wanted to be.

  Alexa Taylor : [cries]  I feel like my heart is gonna break.

  John Taylor : Let it break.

• Peter Adams : He can get open but he can't catch.

  Jezi Adams : I know, this is so unfair. He really shouldn't even be playing. I mean, my son got us here and he shouldn't have to share the field with Beau.

  Alexa Taylor : Jezi... you're right. You're so right, he did get us here.

  Jezi Adams : You think that you are so high and mighty, don't you Alexa? Well, you know what? I can tell the truth too. Honestly, I thought it was horrible, the day that you told me that you returned John's necklace for something better.

  John Taylor : What about the necklace?

  Jezi Adams : Oh, wait, you didn't tell him? You know what that makes you? It makes you a hypocrite.

  John Taylor : What's she talking about?

  Jezi Adams : She exchanged your necklace for something better.

  John Taylor : Jezi, no she didn't okay? It 's right here.

  [John pulls the top of Alexa's shirt down to reveal that Alexa did in fact exchange it and she was wearing a bigger necklace] 

  Alexa Taylor : I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you, I was embarrassed.

  John Taylor : You've been hiding this the whole time?

  Jezi Adams : See, she's a hypocrite.

  Grandma Loretta : Jezi, hush up. Everyone can see your roots. They're brittle and frosty and falling out.

  Alexa Taylor : [to John]  I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. There was just never the right time.

  John Taylor : Nothing's good enough for you.

  Alexa Taylor : I don't wanna to be that way anymore. I don't. I'm sorry.
