- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: Daddy, please
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: Katie, you are not going to the KISS concert. That's final. They are bizarre
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: But they're fun, aren't they, Benson?
- Benson DuBois: Well...
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: They play too loud, they paint their faces, and they prance around sticking out their tongues. Now is that fun, Benson?
- Benson DuBois: Well, if it's done in good taste.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: Go ahead, Benson, tell him it's okay.
- Benson DuBois: No I don't want to get in the middle of this.
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: Benson, what would you do in my position?
- Benson DuBois: Resign.
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: This is simply a Congressional fact-finding committee.
- Benson DuBois: Probably wouldn't recognize a fact if they found one.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: Daddy, if I don't go to that Kiss concert, I'll never speak to you again.
- Benson DuBois: You'll never sit down again.
- Marcy Hill: [Marcy is talking to Benson] Only about 5,000 cars going out as we go in, and he's reaching for my knee.
- Raul: I was trying to find the hand brake.
- Marcy Hill: Oh, did you think I was hiding it?
- Marcy Hill: [the governor has returned unexpectedly] Governor, you're back from the concert already?
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: [walks past Benson and Marcy] I didn't go.
- [he stops and looks at them both]
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: I didn't see any reason why Katie needed to go to *two* KISS concerts.
- [he goes into his office. Marcy slowly sits down at her desk while Benson follows him in and shuts the door behind him]
- Benson DuBois: She told you.
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: The whole thing.
- Benson DuBois: [pause, then:] Kid's got guts.
- [the governor nods in agreement, but says nothing]
- Benson DuBois: Governor, I think I should explain...
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: No, no, no, it isn't necessary, Benson.
- [pause, then:]
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: Maybe we all learned something from this.
- Benson DuBois: But I don't want there to be any...
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: [quietly] No, no, no, please. Better if we just forget it.
- [Benson looks uncertain; the governor looks directly at him]
- Governor Eugene Xavier Gatling: *Trust* me.
- [as he realizes the meaning of what the governor is saying, Benson breaks into a smile, as does the governor; they shake hands]
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: [the day after she sneaked out to see the concert] You're mad at me for last night, aren't you?
- Benson DuBois: Nope... just real disappointed.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: Because I did something dumb and I made you worry?
- Benson DuBois: That's part if it.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: I didn't mean to. If we hadn't been late getting back, you never would have known the difference.
- Benson DuBois: [quietly and seriously] That's the rest of it. You see, Katie... even if you had gotten away with it... I trusted you.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: [she sits down] But Benson, you didn't get in trouble and neither did I! So...
- Benson DuBois: [sits down opposite her] So that makes it all right, is that what you think?
- [Kaite begins to look unhappy]
- Benson DuBois: I wasn't worried about getting in trouble, I've been in trouble before. The thing that hurt me most was that you didn't care enough about me to keep the trust I gave you..and that's a pretty tough thing for a friend to accept... 'cause trust is the stuff that friendships are made of. And when it's gone... it's gone.
- [Katie begins to cry; Benson gives her his handkerchief]
- Benson DuBois: You see, it's not gonna be so hard for me to forgive what you did, it's gonna be a long time before I can forget it... 'cause it's gonna be a long time before I can trust you again.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: [crying] You *can*, Benson! Just give me another chance!
- Benson DuBois: [quietly] *I* can't give you another chance, Katie. You gotta *earn* it.
- Katherine 'Katie' Olivia Gatling: How long will it take?
- Benson DuBois: That's up to you.
