Nikky: What you got a plan, Jack? I got charged with Article 15, that's unbecoming conduct.
Jack: I'll figure something out.
Nikky: You know it's just a nickname man. You're not Superman. It's just a stupid nickname.
Randall: Thanks Kev, I appreciate it, man.
Kevin: Hey man, these muscles aren't just for show. Actually, that's not true at all, they're mostly just for show.
Deja: He loves you like he's in a Disney movie or something. He hears tiny forest animals singing or playing kazoos or something, whenever you walk into a room. But if you're sad, then you should talk to him. He'll tell you-you're exceptional and he'll say it so easy that you'll believe it.
Beth: Wow you are really good at these talks.
Deja: Living in this house for a while, you find your way around a talk.
You in a nightgown with boxing gloves on is a fantasy I didn't even know I was missing.
Jack
Ever since I was a little girl, I needed to be taken care of. First, when I was a little chubby kid I needed to be coddled. And then as a teenager, whose dad died, I needed to be comforted all the time. I'm 38-years-old and I still call my mom for advice when I'm going through a rough spot. And you, you've talked me off of more emotional ledges then I can count. But the truth is I'm strong. And the things that I have been through have made me tough as hell. So if you think that this is going to scare me away, you got another thing coming. I'm going to get you through this Tobe, and if you fall back again, I'm going to be right here and pick you back up. In sickness and health, for better or worse, I'm talking forever.

Teen Randall: Hey, can you take it with you into the shower Kev? We're going to be late for the Prom.
Teen Kevin: Prom's not for three hours, Randall.
Teen Kate: Which is about how long it takes you to do your hair.
Teen Kevin: And I exit.
Kevin: How do I introduce you anyway? My documentarian girlfriend, does that work?
Zoe: You introduce me as Zoe, human being whose a documentarian, who you happen to be dating.
Kevin: Kind of a mouthful, but we'll go with it.
Beth: You cannot cry on the campaign trail.
Randall: I'm not going to cry.
Beth: You're an emotional man, Randall. You talk about fathers, you cry. You talk about daughters, you cry. You talk about the little brown boy on the corner who tried to sell lemonade in the winter, you cry.
Randall: The lemonade froze, Beth.
Beth: Yeah well he was stupid, baby.
Young Nicky: No one tough wears glasses.
Young Jack: What about Superman?
Young Nicky: Superman doesn't wear glasses.
Young Jack: He does when he's Clark Kent.
Young Nicky: Not when he's Superman.
Young Jack: He's a tough guy in disguise. That's you, Nicky. You're Clark Kent. You're CK, tough guy in disguise. Just a matter of time before people realize you're actually Superman.
I wonder if everything would make more sense if you looked at things in reverse. Like if you started at the end, and moved backward and tried to figure out how you got there.
Nicky
Nicky: My own personal Superman.
Jack: I'm just your big brother.
Nicky: And I'm your Lois Lane. Always needing to be saved.
