Quotes

 * Madison Clark: There's so much of your father in Nick, you know? The way he could light up a room with his smile. Or silence it with his mood. It's impossible to ignore. You just couldn't not see it.

....
 * Travis Manawa: You killed a man today, Chris. Look at him. The least you could do is let it affect your appetite. I need to know what's going on. What are you thinking, huh? I mean, are you thinking anything?
 * Chris Manawa: He shot James. Dad, he shot my friend. What was I supposed to do?
 * Travis Manawa: He's not your friend.

 * Travis Manawa: I told you to play along. To try to fit in.
 * Chris Manawa: Well?
 * Travis Manawa: The lesson was to play along, to act as if, not to become one of them.
