We Bought a Zoo Quote

Dylan Mee: I get it now, okay? I get why you can't stand me!
Benjamin Mee: Okay. All right.
Dylan Mee: No. At least now I know the real reason why you hate me! Look, I heard you admit it to her! Like you were talking about cornflakes. You hate me! [rushes up the stairs]
Benjamin Mee: I hate you? Wait second. [follows Dylan]
Benjamin Mee: Okay, we've had some problems, man, but we've figuring it out, okay?
Dylan Mee: Oh, that is bullshit! Admit it! You wish I wasn't here! With that expression in my eyes? I heard you!
Benjamin Mee: Hold on! Enough with the drama, all right? Knock it off! You misheard me!
Dylan Mee: I can't stand it here! Look, can't you see that?
Benjamin Mee: No, but thank you for telling me, again! I keep forgetting, it's all about you! [Dylan looks a little guilty]
Benjamin Mee: Why don't I just pack us up? We'll just go on the road together. We could be hobos.
Dylan Mee: Because you wasted all our money! Some of that belonged to me, Dad!
Benjamin Mee: I didn't waste our money. I thought you liked it here. And I'm sorry, I thought your friends would come out and visit you, man. I called them all myself and I invited them. And I'm sorry, I thought you and Lily were friends. I thought, I thought, I thought, I thought this was... I mean, I thought you liked me! I thought this was a dream come true for all of us.
Dylan Mee: It's your dream! You can't force a dream on someone else, Dad!
Benjamin Mee: Yes, I can, I can force a dream on you!
Dylan Mee: Why are you yelling?
Benjamin Mee: [exploding]Because it's a good dream! And it's got cool animals in it and some pretty great people, too! [Dylan is now on the verge of crying]
Benjamin Mee: And because I'm your father and I'm the only one you've got! And the line of people in this world who really care about you
