Sam's Missing (1985)

Donald Thompson: Bobby Brown

Quotes 

• Sam McKinney : Bobby, I want to go home!

  Bobby Brown : What're you talking about, Sam? You mean you want to go back and live by yourself in a cardboard box?

  Sam McKinney : I don't live by myself! I've got Mama and Mr. D, and two brothers and a sister!

  Bobby Brown : Must be a pretty big box.

  Sam McKinney : We don't live in a box! We live in a huge apartment two stories high, and Mama and Mr. D love me a whole bunch!

  Bobby Brown : What're you talking about, Sam? My dad saved you from rotting in a gutter.

  Sam McKinney : No he didn't, he just told you that so you wouldn't know he stole me!

• Sam McKinney : He told you that so you wouldn't know he stole me.

  Bobby Brown : You're lying, my dad wouldn't do nothing like that, you little punk.

  Sam McKinney : Oh yeah? I found this crumpled up in the garbage, your dad didn't want anyone to see it.

  [Bobby reads the newspaper article] 

  Bobby Brown : It's you, isn't it? Dad must've done it because Mom's been so shook up since Tommy died.

• Bobby Brown : [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE: After Sam has left with Drummond, Don's wife and son give him shattered looks]  ... I don't know who you are anymore - but you're not the man who raised my brother and me!

  [In tears, he spins on his heel, runs and slams out of the room] 

  May Brown : [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE, also in tears]  ... Oh, Donald - Donald, what would Tommy say...?

  [sobbing uncontrollably] 

  May Brown : WHAT WOULD TOMMY SAY!

  [Don hangs his head, unable to answer]
