John Taylor Quotes:

  • [from trailer]

    Warwick Wilson: Is everyone not enjoying themselves?

    John Taylor: [tied to a chair, in an empty room] I can't speak for everyone here, but I'm having a great time.

  • John Taylor: Why can't you just let me go?

    Warwick Wilson: You're my guest. And I'm glad you're here. But you have no one but yourself to blame.

  • 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.

  • John Taylor: My name is John Taylor, and someday my message will mean something.
