Episode Quotes

Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Apology

Dan Rydell: I have a younger brother named Sam. Sam's a genius. I mean, literally. As a kid, he tested off the charts. The first computer I ever had, he built from a kit he bought with money he earned tutoring other kids in math. He's energetic and articulate, curious and funny. A great source of pride to our parents. And there's no doubt that he'd be living a great life right now, except for that he's dead. Because when you're fourteen years old, all you ever really wanna be when you grow up is your sixteen-year-old brother. And in my case, that meant smoking a lot of dope. The day I went off to college was the day that Sam got his driver's license. And he celebrated by taking a drive with some of his friends. Drunk and high as a paper kite. He never saw the red light that he ran. And he probably never saw the eighteen-wheel truck that put him into the side of a brick bank, either.

Dan Rydell: That was eleven years ago tonight. And I just wanted to say... I'm sorry, Sam. You deserved better in my hands. And I apologize.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: When Dan is meeting with Isaac and the lawyers, the sleeves of his shirt alternate between pushed up and hanging straight without his ever touching them.
FAKE: (#1.02), when Dan is talking to Casey about making the corporate people wait in Isaac's office for him, you can see, in one shot of Dan looking out the door of Dan and Casey's office, Isaac Jaffe is waiting around the corner for his cue to come around the corner and deliver his lines.
