[when Miles was tied up in a chair and muffled with webbing after Peter and the other Spider-People left]
Jefferson Davis : [knocks on the door, outside Miles' dorm] Miles? Miles, it's your dad. Please open the door.
[Miles struggles to break free, but stops, listening to his father outside the door]
Jefferson Davis : Miles, I can see your shadow moving around. Yeah. Okay, I get it. I get it. Still ignoring me. Look, can we talk for a minute? Something happened...
[Miles was feeling sad to hear this]
Jefferson Davis : Look, sometimes... people drift apart, Miles. And I don't want that to happen to us, okay? Look, I know I don't always do what you need me to do or say what you need me to say, but I... I see this... this spark in you, it's amazing, it's why I push you. But it's yours, and whatever you choose to do with it, you'll be great.
[Miles comes closer to the door and listened to this]
Jefferson Davis : Look; call me when you can, okay? I love you. You don't have to say it back, though.
[Miles isn't able to respond due to being tied up and muffled, and his father knocked on the door as a farewell to him, walking off]

Miles Morales : [sheepishly] Yeah. Those were me.

Miles Morales : Foam Party.
Jefferson Davis : [laughs] "Foam Party"? Come on! And everyone is just lining up! You see that, Miles?
Miles Morales : See it.
Jefferson Davis : Is that a coffee shop or a disco?
Miles Morales : [rolls his eyes] Dad, you're old, man.
