Walking Wounded (2001)

Anne Twomey: Catherine Zambrano

Quotes 

• Catherine Zambrano : Jimmy, what are you doing?

  Jimmy Doherty : Picking up my son and taking him home.

  Catherine Zambrano : He's better off with me and you know that.

  Jimmy Doherty : Catherine, when this all blows over and he wants to come stay a night or two, I'll let you know. Catherine, I appreciate you always being there for him. I know you love him and I know I haven't always been the father that Joey needs, but I want to be and he is my son. He belongs with his father right now.

• Jimmy Doherty : [after Kim attempts suicide]  I don't want Joey anywhere near her right now.

  Catherine Zambrano : If you're gonna be angry, Jimmy, do your son a favor and don't let him see it.

  Jimmy Doherty : How could she do this to him? He just lost Bobby, who was like a second father.

  Catherine Zambrano : He only needed a second father because you haven't been there.

  Jimmy Doherty : What the hell do you know what I've been there for?

  Catherine Zambrano : Who baby-sits? You were staying on her couch and you never saw anything was wrong.

  Jimmy Doherty : You see her every day. Did you? You know, I wasn't supposed to have Joey until Saturday, but I'll trade a few day shifts and I'll pick him up at school tomorrow.

  Catherine Zambrano : No. You should keep to the regular schedule.

  Jimmy Doherty : Yeah, well, I'll decide what he needs.

  Catherine Zambrano : You know, he doesn't need you riding in on your white horse to save him. He's not a fire. You want to be the hero, but as soon as the crisis is over, when things get boring, that's when you lose interest. It's easy being a hero, what's hard is the day to day. And you know what? That's most of his life. Look, if you want what's best for your son, just stick to Saturday. He'll be fine.
