(Confused, kind of irritated. His son has just told him that he's not going to marry his betrothed.) "Don't be absurd, Lukas. She's the best option for you. Her family is held in very high esteem."

(Disapproving and cold. He's just seen Luke's dog, but he thinks it's Marc's.) "Why do you allow such a disgusting creature to be so close to you, Lukas? It's a wild animal, not meant for domestication."

(Proud and pleased. He's introducing Luke to his betrothed.) "Lukas, I'd like you to meet Leila. She's top of her class at her school, and her parents own seven companies. I think you should get along very nicely."
