Here's a great scene between a father and son. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) - written by Kelly Masterson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOnoZhchECg (scene starts at 3:00) Charles: She hated it when I barbecued. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be what you wanted me to be. I've never been very good at talking about feelings or showing you that kind of affection or support. I'm sorry. I wasn't able to be the father you wanted. But I guess I wanted you to be better than me. And I thought that if I push... It may not mean anything to you, but I want you to know that I really do love you. And I'm... I'm sorry. I'm just so sorry. Andy: I'm sorry I wasn't able to be the son you wanted. Charles: You did the best you could. Andy: Still, yeah. Manage to seem to still like Hank. He was a lot more of a fuck-up than I was. Charles: He was the baby. Andy: Yeah. Charles: He needed us more. Andy: Yeah, he needed you more. You sure it wasn't his cute looks or his puppiness? Charles: You were the first. The first always has it rougher. Andy: Yeah, so I'm told. You know, the four of you, I never felt like I was part of the club. Beautiful birds of a feather. You sure I'm your son? [Charles slaps Andy] Andy: Gina and I have got to get back to the city. [Andy leaves with Gina and they drive off] Gina: Andy? Andy: My dad. Gina: Andy. Okay. Why don't we pull over? Andy: My dad. Oh, God. It's not fair! It's not fair! All my life I've been afraid of becoming like him. All my life! All my life with you, and it's not fair. He can't just say he's sorry and make it all go away. It's too late. It's not that easy! It's not fair! It's not fucking fair! No, Dad. Oh, God! He can't do that!

A Fish Called Wanda Otto: [puts a bag over Archie's head] Hello, Mr. Burglar! Going somewhere? Thought you could rob Mr. Leach, eh? Well, I'm going to teach you a lesson! [kicks him in the stomach] Otto: He just happens to be a very good friend of mine! Archie: Otto! Otto! Otto! Otto: [comes back with a long-handled pan] And he's going to be very pleased with me to find you here, all tied up and ready for the police! [knocks Archie out with a pan] Otto: And don't call me "Otto." To you, I am "Mr..." [stops, lifts bag, sees it's Archie, screams] Otto: Oh, my God... Oh... Oh my God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. [pats Archie's face] Otto: Please, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. How could I know it was you? I mean, how could you expect me to guess? Stupid jerk! I mean, what the fuck were you doing *robbing* your *own house?* [kicks Archie in the stomach] Otto: You asshole! You stupid, stiff, pompous, English...! [screams and recoils] Otto: I'm sorry! I'm sorry. Uh... uh... yeah. [runs] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOUBzye8uMs and, by the way, this movie is full of great apology scenes...

DIE HARD, by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. DeSouza, based on the novel "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorp [Still looking for a YouTube clip, no luck so far: Like so many apology scenes, this takes place at the All is Lost/end-of-the-end-of-the-line beat, just before the break into Act 3]: INT. BATHROOM POWELL: I'm here, John. McClane tries walking on his foot. He winces in pain, clearly at the end of his resources. MCCLANE: (long pause) Look...I'm getting a bad feeling up here...I'd like you to do something for me. Look up my wife...don't ask how, you'll know by then...and tell her...tell her...I've been a jerk. When things panned out for her, I should've been behind her all the way ...We had something great going until I screwed it up...She was the best thing that ever happened to a bum like me. She's heard me say I love you a thousand times, but she never got to hear this...honey...I'm sorry. (pause) You get all that? POWELL: (clearly touched) I got it. But you can tell her yourself. Just watch your ass and you'll make it. MCCLANE: I hope so. But that's up to the guy upstairs. (pause; struck by a thought) Upstairs... (thinking, to himself) ...Hans, you bastard...what were you doing? POWELL: Roy? MCCLANE: Stand by, Powell. I gotta check something out. He moves towards the door, limping hurriedly out of the room.

PATHS OF GLORY (1957) Directed by Stanley Kubrick Writing credits Stanley Kubrick (screenplay) & Calder Willingham (screenplay) and Jim Thompson (screenplay) General Broulard: Well.... it had to be done. France cannot afford to have fools guiding her military destiny. I'm grateful to you for having brought this matter to my attention. Colonel Dax, how would you like General Mireau's job? Colonel Dax:His what, sir? General Broulard: His job. Colonel Dax:Let me get this straight, sir. You're offering me General Mireau's command? General Broulard: Come, come, Colonel Dax, don't overdo the surprise! You've been after the job from the start, we all know that my boy! Colonel Dax:I may be many things sir, but I am not your boy. General Broulard: Well I certainly didn't mean to imply any biological relationship. Colonel Dax:I'm not your boy in any sense. General Broulard: Are you trying to provoke me colonel? Colonel Dax:Why should I want to do that? General Broulard: Exactly. It would be a pity to lose your promotion before you get it. A promotion you have so very carefully planned for. Colonel Dax: Sir, would you like me to suggest what you can do with that promotion? General Broulard: [angry] Colonel Dax! You will apologize at once or I shall have you placed under arrest! Colonel Dax: I apologize... for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for not revealing my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3ifRA0Kj-8&feature=related

Blair Witch Project. Sorry I made a mistake! Re above clip. Heather Donahue: I just want to apologize to Mike's mom, Josh's mom, and my mom. And I'm sorry to everyone. I was very naive. I am so so sorry for everything that has happened. Because in spite of what Mike says now, it is my fault. Because it was my project and I insisted. I insisted on everything. I insisted that we weren't lost. I insisted that we keep going. I insisted that we walk south. Everything had to be my way. And this is where we've ended up and it's all because of me that we're here now - hungry, cold, and hunted. I love you mom, dad. I am so sorry. What is that? I'm scared to close my eyes, I'm scared to open them! We're gonna die out here! Liz Swan
