Quotes 

• Jack Pearson : You know, I was supposed to have another date the night that we met. I ever tell you that?

  Rebecca Pearson : No.

  Jack Pearson : The woman that sold me the Chevelle, she set me up. But then I saw you and stood the other girl up.

  Rebecca Pearson : I wonder who she was.

  Jack Pearson : I never have. You asked me a question before. What is it that I love about you now.

  Rebecca Pearson : Jack...

  Jack Pearson : So I'm gonna start with the obvious. I love the mother that you are. I love that you are still the most beautiful woman in any room, and that you laugh with your entire face. I love that you dance funny... and not sexy, which... makes it even sexier. But most of all, I love that you are still the same woman who, all those years ago, ran out of a blind date because she simply had to sing. You're not just my great love story, Rebecca. You... you were my big break.

  Rebecca Pearson : [flashback to her finishing her song]  Thank you. Thanks.

  Jack Pearson : [voiceover]  And our love story, I know it may not feel like it right now, but baby...

  Rebecca Pearson : Hi.

  Jack Pearson : Hi.

  Jack Pearson : [v.o., then the scene returns to the house]  ... I promise, it's just getting started.

• Jack Pearson : [fighting with Rebecca]  This is insane. We love each other.

  Rebecca Pearson : What do you love about me?

  Jack Pearson : Huh?

  Rebecca Pearson : What do you love about me? Tell me. The me as I am right now, not the me that you've conjured up in your mind over the years; what do you love about me right now, Jack?

  [Jack doesn't know what to say] 

  Rebecca Pearson : So the next time you tell me that you love me, make sure you're not doing it just out of habit.

• Jack Pearson : Spoke to Miguel. He's fine with it.

  Rebecca Pearson : Okay. What do we tell the kids?

  Jack Pearson : Tell them the truth. That we had a fight and that we both need a minute to... catch our breath.

  Rebecca Pearson : We're gonna screw them up.

  Jack Pearson : No.

  Rebecca Pearson : Yeah.

  Jack Pearson : No, we're not. No, the kids are gonna be fine. We've shown them a healthy marriage. This is just gonna be a blip on their radar years from now. We're their parents, Bec. We do the best we can. But at the end of the day - what happens to them, how they turn out - that's bigger than us.

  [the scene changes to Kate and Toby] 

  Kate Pearson : [finding an old picture of Rebecca]  I know what I want to do, you know, now that we're back. Like, for work.

  Toby Damon : Oh, yeah? You gonna call your old boss or...

  Kate Pearson : I want to sing.

  Toby Damon : Hmm.

  Jack Pearson : [voicover]  Sometimes they'll make good decisions.

  [the scene cuts to Kevin and Sophie] 

  Kevin Pearson : It's just a meeting with a director, okay? It's not like I'm gonna get the part.

  Sophie : Don't do that. I want you to get it.

  Jack Pearson : [v.o]  Sometimes bad decisions.

  Kevin Pearson : I love you.

  Sophie : [watching him leave]  I love you, too. God help me.

  Jack Pearson : [over scenes of Randall]  And every once in a while, they're gonna do something that's gonna knock us off our feet. Something that exceeds even our wildest dreams.

  Randall Pearson : Beth... I want to adopt a baby.

  Jack Pearson : [cut back to house]  Our kids are gonna be fine. But me, I can't go back to who I was before I met you.
