Jonas : My rules say I am not allowed to share.

Jonas : Father, do you love me?
Mother : Jonas, precision of language. Please.
Lilly : What does "love" mean?
Father : [taking Gabriel] I got him, Lilly

Father : [to Jonas] If you ask "Do you enjoy me?" the answer is certainly yes; or, do Mother and I take pride in your accomplishments? Well, of course we do. Do you understand?
