Casey Brodsky Quotes in Irreconcilable Differences (1984)

Albert Brodsky: [reading from Casey's Book "Tomorrow"] "Erica James celebrated her 13th birthday by screwing the entire junior varsity basketball team!" What is this?

Casey Brodsky: A book! May I have it back please?

Casey Brodsky: Mother, you and dad for a long time did not recognize my rights as a human being. You both treated me like chattel. You cannot do with me as you please anymore. We have irreconcilable differences.

Casey Brodsky: I'm just a kid, and I don't know what I'm doing sometimes. But I think you should know better when you're all grown up. I think you should know how to act, and how to treat people. And I think if you once loved someone enough to marry them, you should at least be nice to them, even if you don't love 'em any more. And I think if you have a child, you should treat that child like a human being and not like a pet. Not like you treat your dog or somethin'. You know, when you have a dog sometimes you forget he's there, and then when you get lonely suddenly you remember him, and you remember how cute he is and stuff, and you kiss him a lot, but then the next day when you're busy again you don't notice him. That's how I've been treated for the past 4 years, and you don't treat your kid like your dog. It's not right.

Casey Brodsky: 'Atlanta' lost more money than any movie in the history of movies. Or something like that. Right, Daddy?
