Randall Pearson : Had a dream last night that dad and William met. I walked into the living room, and, uh, just talking and laughing like old friends. And William was telling dad how I taught him how to drive a car.
William Hill : [under] ... teach me how to drive.
Jack Pearson : Whoa, wait, wait.
Randall Pearson : [voicover] And dad was like...
Jack Pearson : Really? Randall?
Randall Pearson : "Really? Randall?"
Jack Pearson : Did he tell you about the time that I taught him how to drive?
William Hill : No, no, you've got to tell me this, Jack.
Jack Pearson : I got all three kids in the driveway there. Randall hops in the car, excited...
Randall Pearson : [simulatenously, over Jack] "Oh, the kid just threw it in reverse and zoomed straight back like a bat out of hell."
Kate Pearson : [simultaneously] Bat out of hell.
[crying]
Kate Pearson : Dad loved that story.
Randall Pearson : He did. I'm not the guy to tell you how to handle your feelings. But I've learned that you got to let 'em out. You got to share 'em with the people that love you.
Kate Pearson : I know.
Randall Pearson : Do you? 'Cause there's a really sweet, really big guy in my living room right now who might think otherwise.

15 Year Old Kate : Are you and mom all right?
Jack Pearson : Stop it, we're fine.
15 Year Old Kate : You don't seem fine.
Jack Pearson : Look, it's... marriage. Okay? It's just stuff. Honestly, we're fine.
15 Year Old Kate : Why didn't you go to her show tonight?
Jack Pearson : Well, first off, it's two hours away.
15 Year Old Kate : Yeah, it's two hours away.
Jack Pearson : Kate... hey, look, you've got more important things to worry about being a teenager. Boys and... and grades and that band that sounds like they're always kidding... what's their name?
15 Year Old Kate : Weezer.
Jack Pearson : Weezer. Yeah.
15 Year Old Kate : Weezer.

Jack Pearson : You know, the other day I came in, she was nibbling on his ear.
Rebecca Pearson : Mm-mm. Don't use the word "nibbling" in reference to our son.
Jack Pearson : That is the only way to describe it.
Rebecca Pearson : Those ears haven't seen Q-tips in years.
