Where are the samples in Honor Thy Father from?
A massive thank you to William Groenendijk, who sent me the following email:

"I did some reseach on the samples used in "Honor Thy Father", based on the info provided and some various sources on the net, and this is what I came up with. Post it if you like.

[- main sample -]
"This is the regret that you make
This is the...
Regret that you make
And the something you take

Mistakes like this... you don't make
You make some and ok
Not ok, sometimes, you make other ones
Know that you should do better

The goddamn regret
The goddamn regret!
And I'll die
Now I'll die
The biggest regret of my life... I let my love go
What did I do?
The fucking regret
What did I do?
What did I do?"
[ Jason Robards, sample from the movie "Magnolia" ]

[-other samples-]
"We just don't connect"
[unknown sample]

"Well, I want my family back."
"Well, you can't have it. I'm sorry for you, but it's too late."
[Gene Hackman and Angelica Huston, samples from movie "The Royal Tenenbaums"]

"Can't you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?!"
[ Donald Sutherland, sample from the movie "Ordinary People" ]

"I can't love anybody"
[unknown sample]

"I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in
Don't that mean something?"
[ Christopher Walken, sample from the movie "At Close Range" ]

"[something] ...I'm disappointed in you"
[unknown sample]

"You deserve to die alone for what you've done"
[ Melinda Dillon, sample from the movie "Magnolia" ]

"You cocksucker, I hated you
I want you to know that I hate your fucking guts
Just fucking die, you fuck"
[ Tom Cruise, sample from the movie "Magnolia" ]

"I'm your blood - I'm your family"
"You're not my family - not anymore"
[ Christopher Walken and Sean Penn, sample from the movie "At Close Range" ]

"When your own flesh and blood renounces you...
...you have no choice but to renounce them"
[ J.K. Simmons, sample from the TV-series OZ, season3 espiode21 "US Male" ]

I'm quite sure that 90% of this is correct.

Greetings,

William"

Sean Molin
The lines about "regret" and "letting my love go" are from Magnolia.

"I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in"/"You deserve to die for what you did"/"I'm your blood"/"You're not my family, not anymore" is from At Close Range with Christopher Walken and Sean Penn.

Paul Ward
The second set of samples...

"Well, I want my family back."

"Well, you can't have it. I'm sorry for you, but it's too late."

That's from The Royal Tenenbaums. Gene Hackman says the first, Angelica Huston says the second.

Peter Ross
The line "Can't you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?!" is from Ordinary People, spoken by Donald Sutherland.

"We just don't connect."

Timothy Hutton, also from Ordinary People.
