Tim O'Connor: Elliot Carson

Quotes 

• Elliot Carson : Connie, change is part of living. Don't be afraid of it.

  Constance Mackenzie Carson : I know. I'm trying not to be. It's just that we've been so happy the way things are. I don't want to risk that.

  Elliot Carson : We could be happier.

  Constance Mackenzie Carson : I'm willing to settle for what we have.

  Elliot Carson : Well, that's a philosophy of fear. Don't try anything. That way you can't fail. Hang on to what you've got. Oh, it may be dull. It may not be completely satisfactory, but at least it's familiar. And don't let it go and reach out for something better because you may lose what you've already got. I suppose that's safety and security, but it's also mediocrity. Connie, I think we owe ourselves and Allison more than that.

  Constance Mackenzie Carson : It's also being protective and practical.

  Elliot Carson : And half dead.

  Constance Mackenzie Carson : You're right, and I'm with you.
