"Nah-unh. This isn't the girl scout jamboree, you share your feelings I share mine." Shutting that down right quick. Sure, he could say a lot of things. What drives any fourteen year old to jump off a bridge? Being used, being abused, being told they were a parasite ever damn day of their life. But that's between him and a dead women. Jack doesn't get that privilege. Hasn't earned it.
And maybe that's the crux of everything. Jack never earned anything. Tony? Worked hard to get Sofia's parents' trust. Hell he even tried to make nice with her sister. Jack? Just waltzed up and expected everyone to love him. It's a repeating trend again and again and Tony's got no patience for it. You don't start off deserving to be loved; you have to prove it. Again and again and again.
"We're talking about you Jack. Did you ever even once think about giving her a normal life—?"
