Sterling K. Brown: Randall Pearson

Quotes 

• Randall Pearson : I had a breakdown a couple of months ago. You know, nervous, mental, whatever you want to call it. And I'm not the same, you know? Like I was... And I know it. And my wife knows it, too.

  Garuda Singh : I'm sorry.

  Randall Pearson : Thanks, man... See, that morning, uh, the morning that I had the thing, I was on the Internet. This site: Where Your Baby Is Now. And at six months along, they start dreaming... You know that? Before that, it's all cells and parts, you know, but then they actually start dreaming. And that's a person, right? A whole little universe of hopes and dreams and happiness and sadness, and I just thought, whoa, I... I can't be in charge of a universe... I can't even hang a ceiling fan, turns out. I don't have any answers, except at work, but at work if I'm wrong, it's just money... But what if I'm wrong with a baby?

  Garuda Singh : Why are you asking me?

  Randall Pearson : [Pointing at his badge "Ask me for Help"]  That. And if it's not racist, the turban... Eastern wisdom is kind of a thing, right?

  Garuda Singh : Oh, yeah, East Trenton... I will tell you one thing... I have five kids... And before the first one was born, I was all questions, too. Can I? Will I? But what they don't tell you is that babies come with the answers. They come out, they look up at you, and you at them, and... they tell you who you are... You'll see... Tomorrow you'll have all the answers you need.
