This Is Us
Tuesdays 9:00 PM on NBCThis Is Us Quotes
Beth: Tess, you look incredible.
Tess: Thanks.
Beth: I know I've been doing everything wrong with you lately so I probably should tiptoe, but these slippers weren't meant for tiptoeing. So what's up?
Tess: I feel like everyone wants a version of me that isn't me. I'm not comfortable in this dress but I don't want to disappoint Uncle Kevin or you.
Beth: I'm going to stop you right there because you can never disappoint me. You can wear shorts to this wedding or root for the Dallas Cowboys or murder someone. I might be surprised. I might ask some questions. But I'd assume you had your reasons.
Randall: Last week you were all Jerry McGuire. You good now?
Kevin: I know my entire romantic life has been an exercise in self-destruction, but not today. I'm good.
Toby: I want to go back to work, Kate. I need to. Staying at home is just... I love our children but...
Kate: Okay. Got it.
Toby: Kate!
Kate: Toby. My husband is contemplating taking a job that puts him in another city three days a week, and he just started a sentence with 'I love my children, but....' Give me a minute to digest this.
Rebecca: You didn't happen to tape the game, did you?
Jack: Oh yeah, the Pirates game. I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Rebecca: And you couldn't see the words DO NOT TAPE OVER? I am stuck here all day with triplets, Jack! I have to wait a week to see a show the whole rest of the world has seen already and I have been humming in the grocery store out of some irrational fear that I might find out who got killed at the wedding before I see it.
Miguel: When I think of your mom and me, I think of the phrase 'written in the stars'. I used to love that expression, the way it meant that the universe had plans for two people. That was your mom and dad, but it wasn't like that for her and me. It was strange. And I was filled with doubt on our wedding day and on a lot of days after that. But as the years went by, I realized that was okay. Some love stories are written in the stars and other love stories are written together: two people the universe had no plans for writing their story in the stars together.
How does anyone ever know who they're supposed to marry?
Kevin
That's my dream, Sophie. You and me til the very end.
Kevin
Beth: Cheers to Kevin's super powerful sperm making him see the light.
Kate: Hey! That's my brother you're talking about. But cheers.
I can think of no better revenge for the guy who ended things by ghosting me than painting him nude the night before I get married to one of People Magazine's most beautiful people.
Madison
Beth: Did Randall tell you I used to dance?
Rebecca: He did. Did he tell you I used to sing?
Beth: He did.
Rebecca: So I know something about a dream being cut off at the knees. But you are too young and too smart to not go after new things that you want.
You did it, man! Last Thanksgiving you said you wanted to be married with kids by the time you were 40 and now you are.
Randall
Sophie: Stop acting like long distance is no big deal. I hated being away from you. We're done with it.
Kevin: Yeah, for now. But if I'm going to be an actor, I have to be in LA.
Sophie: So you're going to be in LA while I'm in New York? How will our marriage work?
Kevin: It just will.
