Alice: I wanted to build a family with you.
Nick: You have. You have built a family with me.

I felt like a coward. I wanted to tell you that. I’m no hero. I ran from a…I ran away from our son when he was struggling because I didn’t know how to help him and then I ran away from you after the miscarriage because I was afraid to face the pain, honestly.

Emily: No. No. No.
Nick: Why not?
Emily: Because we don’t get to go backward.

Emily: Nick, I don’t believe that. She doesn’t seem like that. She would never hurt you. She seems so…

Nick: Well, does someone else have that covered now?

Alice: You take a few days off and think you’re father of the year.
Nick: I’ve been doing my best. How much shit am I going to take for being busy for a few weeks?

Cal: Sir, this was a clear-headed soldier on a mission.
Emily: We believe there are people above him.

Jack: I think I’m kind of seeing someone.
Emily: Yeah? Who is she?
Jack: I don’t want to say, not yet. It’s just that we’re still figuring it out.
