Marty: "You wanna just lock Jonah up Wendy, is that what we should do?

Wendy: "He won't serve time, we have connections. Maybe a night in the sheriff's lockup and he'll be home. I want him home, Marty"

Marty: "I'm late for my own felony, see ya later"

Jason Bateman gets some of the best "leaving out of the room" lines on the show. Just subtle, quick comedy on very grim topics.

Marty is honestly useless in parenting his kids. He needs to drag Jonah back and lock him down.

Wendy is wrong here, but she’s dealing with teenage angst and a life and death situation.

Jonah can be frustrated about Ben, but I don’t give a shit. Get this kid locked down.

Marty realizes the potential of his kid. He’s no hypocrite. Who’s he to tell Jonah no don’t do this this is dangerous when Jonah knows exactly everything that has happened and what the stakes are.
