Running on Empty (1988 film)

"Aren't we supposed to question authority? You taught me that! Who do you think you are, General Patton?"

"[to Lorna] Now, I have no right in telling this to you. It's dangerous for you and it's dangerous for them, but I'm sorry I just couldn't stop myself. You can do what you want to, you can tell your dad; anything, I don't care. I just needed you to know... I don't know what I'm doing, and I love you."

"You're strange. I cut. I didn't feel like having my picture taken with those sub-humans."

"...So, now that we've determined that I belong here, let's talk about you."

"You're certifiable. You're welcome!"

"[to Michael] Why do you have to carry the burden of someone else's life?"

"Arthur Pope: Now, go out there and make a difference. Your mother and I tried. Don't let anyone tell you different."

"Annie Pope: What are we doing to these kids? They've been running their whole lives like criminals, and they didnt do anything!"
