So, you know what I think when you complain that I hit you? I think I didn't hit you hard enough, Lyle, the way my father hit me. He would hit me so hard that my head would throb for days and days. I mean, it was f--king painful... but I knew exactly what was expected of me. So, as a father who loves you, Lyle, I'm really sorry that I didn't hit you hard enough. That is my fault, and I'm sorry.

Notes[]

  • While José Menéndez in the show potentially was sexually abusive to his sons, it was heavily controversial and debated within the Monster series itself and it is currently debated in real life on whether or not he truely did what his sons claimed to have done to them in real life while his ill temper, aggression and dominating personality is corroborate in real life. On April 18, 2023, the Puerto Rican pop singer Roy Rosselló alleged that he had been raped by José Menéndez at the age of 14 when he was visiting Erik and Lyle in their New Jersey home. Though the allegations made about Rosselló that he sexually assaulted a teenager a month after his allegations against José brings his claims under question.
