This Is Us
Tuesdays 9:00 PM on NBCThis Is Us Quotes
Randall: You try to have a one-night stand and you end up with twins. You are the world’s strangest serial monogamist.
Kevin: Okay, well, I’m here, so thank you for the most useless conversation ever.
Randall: Yeah, man, you have fun at your couple’s retreat, and do me a favor, try not to propose, okay? You know how you get.
Miguel: What do you think? Hat or no hat?
Rebecca: No hat. Guys in hats are usually trying to hide their hair and you have great hair.
Kevin: What’s your temperature on this being a sex thing?
Cassidy: I mean, I could go either way. It’d be nice to know though because it’ll change my packing and grooming.
Jack: She's gone. A few days ago, she had an aneurysm.
Jack's Dad: I'm sorry, Jackie. That's terrible news. When's the funeral?
Jack: I wasn't inviting you. You know, even after she left you, it was like you were still here, keeping us apart. She had a whole life out here that I never knew anything about and that was because of you.
Jack: I can't remember my mom smiling a lot. She was always on high alert around my dad.
Mike: Right. Well, you were her hero. You got her out of there. And there was nothing she looked forward to more than your Sunday night calls.
Jack: I'm gonna call it a night. I didn't know anything about her or her life. Thanks for the beer and the photographs.
Jack: Ohio looks nice.
Marilyn: It looks the same as Pennsylvania.
Knowing my mom, I got a funeral to plan and a lifetime of loose ends to tie up. I think it's just better if I do this on my own.

Rebecca: How about this suit?
Jack: That's light gray. I need a black suit.
Rebecca: Maybe we can go to Kimbel's. But suits are so expensive.
Jack: Doesn't matter what the cost is. It's my mother's funeral.
Toby: When you're a kid, all the houses you build are square because you think it's the only shape there is. But it turns out the triangle is the strongest shape out there. It can withstand any type of pressure. So maybe you need to stop thinking of your family as a square and think of it as a triangle instead. You, Frannie, and Nicky.
Kevin: What the hell are you saying?
Toby: I don't even know.
Beth: There's no way we're going to ground this out of her. Deja is in love.
Randall: But that doesn't change what happened.
Beth: She feels like we did in the beginning. If someone told us we couldn't see each other for months, we would have found a way to be together.
Randall: So that means there should be no consequences?
Beth: Oh, there will be consequences. They're not seeing each other again til they come out with the iPhone 30. But this is much bigger than what happened this weekend. We thought Deja was playing Candy Land but she was out there playing the game of Life. She's not a child and we're going to have to adjust to that.
Kevin: This sucks. You get all of the firsts and I get to hang out by the phone and hope you send me a text.
Madison: I sent you a video right away.
Kevin: Yes, thank you for that. I just feel so connected to my kids right now.
Madison: I'm sorry that you're feeling your feelings or whatever you're doing, but you don't know how hard it is for me. Yes, Frannie took her first steps and it was adorable but an hour before that Nick barfed all over me and I had to figure out how to get it out of my hair before Elijah came over so I don't feel completely revolting. Look, I know you want to be there for all the firsts but we are not together and so that means there are times when one of us is going to feel like we're missing something.
Philip: I thought I was finally going to meet the famous Toby.
Kate: Yeah. He had to stay home with the kids.
Philip: Kids are the worst. That's why I go out of my way never to be around them.
