Dana Delany: Margaret Rosenblatt

Quotes 

• Margaret Rosenblat : Duncan, this is a new school not an execution. Just try to socialize, make some friends.

  Duncan Rosenblatt : And stop getting intofights. They're the ones who start it. Jerks are instinctively drawn to me like... a homing pigeon.

  Margaret Rosenblat : Duncan, you're a 16 year old boy like every other guy in your class. And every other kid has problems of their own.

  [Kisses Duncan on the cheek] 

  Margaret Rosenblat : So if you can just get along with people and keep your temper. Everything's going to be just fine.

  Duncan Rosenblatt : Message received.

  [Duncan starts to leave] 

  Margaret Rosenblat : And Duncan.

  [Margaret makes a handsign] 

  Duncan Rosenblatt : I love you too, mom.

  Margaret Rosenblat : Actually, that time it was "Rock on."

• Margaret Rosenblat : I have a legal contract with MEGTAF stipulating that my son have a normal a life as humanly possible.

• Barnes : Half of MEGTAF is scouring the desert for him, Margaret. If Belloc's out there, we'll find him.

  Margaret Rosenblat : Colonel Barnes, Maybe you should send out *all* of MEGTAF, since half of it is having difficulty finding a 120 foot giant.

• Margaret Rosenblat : Your father is a great many things, but he is not a monster. You don't know the things he's gone through. The *good* things he's done. I don't expect you to understand, but I did love him - and he gave me you.

  Duncan Rosenblatt : So what am I? Am I human or am I Kaiju?

  Margaret Rosenblat : You're you, that's all that matters.

• Jenna : [Duncan picks up Jenna for Homecoming]  Oh look, you brought your friends. That's so thoughtful.

  Isabel : We usually don't do school functions, but since this is the first dance with a Kaiju alert level, we didn't want to miss it.

  Jenna : Any other surprises I should know about?

  Duncan Rosenblatt : No.

  Margaret Rosenblat : [From the station wagon]  Let's get this show on the road! I'm supposed to be there early.

  Duncan Rosenblatt : Oh... yeah.

• Jenna : [Margaret grabs a large weapon]  Whoa! What's that for?

  Margaret Rosenblat : Duncan's father and I have some... unresolved issues. Ready to meet Duncan's daddy?

• Belloc : You didn't kill them.

  Duncan Rosenblatt : I wanted to. But it wouldn't have changed anything.

  Margaret Rosenblat : It would have changed you.

  Belloc : But you did beat them. I wouldn't have thought it possible. Perhaps there was some value in leaving you with your mother.
