How do you pour foundation wrong anyway?
Kevin
Kate: Are you insane? At least do some trial runs first.
Kevin: I'm taking the kids to the cabin. And it's not like I'll be alone. Uncle Nicky will be there. He's family.
Randall: Nicky? That's your ace in the hole?
Kevin: I want to jump off the diving board and touch the drain.
Jack: Once more for those in the cheap seats, you need to learn to swim first.
You will not make yourself smaller because of me. This thing that is happening to me, it will not hold you back. Take risks, move in a direction even if it's small moves. I am your mother and I am sick, and I am telling you to be fearless. And the only answer that is acceptable is a resounding 'yes ma'am'.
Rebecca
Kevin: Looks like I've been focusing on the wrong guy.
Miguel: Excuse me?
Kevin: I blew it with Sophie. And sometimes I can hear his voice, how disappointed he is in me and my choices. You ever feel like that?
Miguel: I have no idea what you're saying right now, Kevin. Drink some water.
Kevin: Just know that if you act on whatever this thing is you have with my mom, that earth you feel rumbling under your feet is him turning over in his grave.
Toby: We keep having the same argument over and over.
Kate: I know.
Toby: You're upset that I'm not around more, I'm sensitive about that. Pointed jabs, rinse and repeat.
Kate: I know.
Toby: But in that argument, I just want to say, we were both fat kids and it was hell. And Jack has our genes so if I can help him eat healthy and avoid that, I will.
Kate: I can tell when they're talking about me. I know it must have been a shock to him [Randall] how big I got.
Beth: Hey. Everyone puts on a few pounds during college. They don't call it the Freshman 15 for nothing.
Kate: I've gained the Freshman 40 and I haven't even been to college.
Janet: Did you add the secret ingredient?
Rebecca: I did not, because you didn't tell me what it is.
Janet: I didn't?
Rebecca: No you didn't, and you know that.
Randall: It's gonna be a lovely, drama-free Thanksgiving.
Beth: Baby, I love your heart, but the Pearson family epitaph is going to read, "Lovely people. Cried a lot. Thanksgivings were traumatic as hell."
Kate: I'm writing down the sugar pie recipe in case I forget the secret ingredient.
Rebecca: You mean in case I forget. But I can't forget, because these recipes are buried deep inside me.
Rebecca: Aren't we going to have any?
Rebecca's mother: We need to watch ourselves.
I used to think I was going to dance on the world's biggest stages. But now I see there's power in waiting in the wings, in helping dancers achieve their dreams. I'm the little island girl who danced before she walked. You took that away from me. But no more. I'm taking it back now. I know who I am and what I am meant to do in this world.
Beth
