Julia: I'm sorry that it's Chris, but you know I slept with people, you slept with people, let's just, who cares, let's go.
Joel: Wait. What? What do you mean? People?

Joel: When have you not thought clearly?
Julia: Two years ago. I was not thinking clearly. I was pretty much unraveling. You left.
Joel: K. That's not going to happen again.
Julia: Good. But... I can't tell you that it won't happen again, that I'll be... I don't know, I know that I was hard to live with. I realize that it was rough.
Joel: Honey, I'll tell you this as many times as you need me to. I will never leave you again. I will never leave you.

It doesn't matter what happened with Ed because I am the one that walked out. I walked out on you and I walked out on our kids. You know I took a vow to you, I took a vow when we got married, that I would, that I would uphold our marriage in good times and bad. I know that. And I failed. I failed you. And I felt such shame, Julia. I mean I felt like I didn't even deserve to be in your life anymore. But so long as you're my wife, so long as we're still married, I am going to do everything in my power to uphold those vows. I love you so much. I have never stopped loving you and I am going to honor you for the rest of my days. If you'll have me.

It's not an asset, it's a home. And it kills me to work away from it, but I hurt you and I own that. I get that. So I don't want the house. If I can't have you in it, I don't want it.

Julia: Joel, it's just too hard.
Joel: What?
Julia: You. Asking how I am and wanting to be there for me and it's confusing.
Joel: Well, I care about you and I care about the family and you know, I just want to make sure that...
Julia: Joel. I'm, I'm seeing someone.
Joel: Ahh. Ah. Yeah. I was just calling to see if Zeek was OK. So, we'll talk later. Bye.

Joel: You should have just seen him, Julia, he's melting down in front of me and I feel like all these abandonment issues are coming back and...
Julia: Because you moved out.

Zeek: Well, let me ask you something. What the hell are you doing?
Joel: What the hell am I doing? Well, I'm trying to figure things out, you know? Figuring things out.

Joel: And no I'm not willing to stop fighting for our children and for our marriage, but this, this wasn't my call. This wasn't my fight, so please don't dig in on this. Please. It's over now.
Julia: Well, whenever you're ready to fight for us, I'm here.

Crosby: I really hope you guys can, you know can, find your way back. I know it's none of my business, but I just, you know, we love having you in our family and..I'm sorry, you know.
Joel: Thanks buddy. Thank you. Thank you. I completely get it. You know, I don't... I don't need to be the godfather.

When I pick the kids up tomorrow, should I use the key or would it be better for you if I knocked?

Julia: Don't do it. Don't move out. It's not to late to change your mind, you know. We can just, we can work on the marriage and I can be different or try harder. Or just... Don't give up on me.
Joel: I'm so sorry, I wish we weren't at this point, but we are. I gotta go.

You want to fix it and I don't think it can be fixed.
