Quotes
Cory Matthews: I realize you're angry, and Dad, whatever we're doing here, I want you to know I said a terrible thing and I have no idea where to even begin to apologize.
Alan Matthews: I'm sorry you meant it. You know what this place is?
Cory Matthews: The abandoned warehouse where no one will hear my screams?
Alan Matthews: My first job was sweeping up this store. I took over after my father retired. He spent forty years with a broom in his hand. I wish he could see all that I have now. Why are *you* so ashamed of being average?
Cory Matthews: I-I-I'm not asha...
Alan Matthews: Look at this place. Touch it. Go on. Touch it! Get some dirt on your hands.
[Cory does]
Alan Matthews: Try and see what average looked like from here. To me, average. Average was a dream. That's why my father worked his butt off so that maybe his son could have something more. And I learned from him, Cory. And I respected him because he did the best that he could and I was proud of him. And he would have been proud of me too. I don't know, you know? Maybe, if my son thinks average is nothing then I-I've done my job. But I'm sorry that you're not proud. Of him, of me, and of yourself.
[Alan leaves Cory standing in front of the store to contemplate his words]
