• [first lines] 

  Jack Pearson : Happy Valentine's Day.

  Rebecca Pearson : Happy Valentine's Day.

  Jack Pearson : Is that my Valetine's Day card? If it is, I... I'm gonna need to make yours a lot longer.

• Rebecca Pearson : This is a list of everything that I need you to do when I go on tour next week.

  Jack Pearson : Ah.

  Rebecca Pearson : So, this is Kevin and Randall's football schedule.

  Jack Pearson : Mm-hmm.

  Rebecca Pearson : This is the night that Randall has debate team. This is, uh, a check for Kate's music lessons...

  Jack Pearson : Babe. Baby, baby. Contrary to popular belief, I've actually, I've met our children before. Look, for the next month, I'm just, I'm gonna ply them with... with greasy Chinese, and when the boys start to stink, I'm gonna take 'em out back and hose 'em down.

  Rebecca Pearson : Stop. I already feel guilty about leaving them, and you.

  Jack Pearson : Well, we're gonna be fine. Now give your husband a kiss, 'cause it's Valentine's Day.

  Rebecca Pearson : Fine.

  Jack Pearson : Yeah.

  Rebecca Pearson : But only 'cause it's Valentine's Day.

• 15 Year Old Randall : So right now Travis Bauman and I are neck and neck to finish first place in our class. But if I don't get an "A" on my "Hamlet" essay...

  15 Year Old Kevin : Hey, I will write that "Hamlet" essay for you if you stop telling me this story. Come on, man, it's Valentine's Day. Go on a date. Kate, do we know someone desperate enough to go on a date with Randall?

  15 Year Old Kate : Randall, ignore him. He thinks he walks on water now because he's having sex with Sophie.

  Rebecca Pearson : [overhearing while getting suitcases to pack]  What? You're having sex?

  15 Year Old Kevin : [the kids all freeze in horror]  I disown you. You are de-twinned.

  15 Year Old Kate : Kevin...

  Rebecca Pearson : Hold on.

  [Kevin starts to leave] 

  Rebecca Pearson : No, no, we should have a...

  15 Year Old Kevin : We are not talking about this!

  Rebecca Pearson : [turning to Randall and Kate]  Guys, did you know about this?

  15 Year Old Randall : Honestly, I just assumed. I got to work on my paper.

  15 Year Old Kate : [following Randall out]  Bye.

• Jack Pearson : I calmed him down. I mean, that kid...

  Rebecca Pearson : How can I leave them, Jack? Kevin's having sex, Randall's giving himself stress ulcers, Kate is... I don't even know what Kate's doing, but she's wearing a ton of eyeliner, so that can't be good.

• Rebecca Pearson : For the past sixteen years, I have put everything and everyone ahead of myself, you and the kids! And I just knew that if I were ever to tell you about this whole Ben thing, you would spin out about it, and I needed to have something for myself without you getting in the way.

  Jack Pearson : I never thought of myself as being in your way, Bec.

  [picking up his coat and leaving] 

  Jack Pearson : I need some air.

• Rebecca Pearson : Hey, you've said three whole words since we left the show. Are you gonna tell me what the problem is?

  Jack Pearson : I don't have a problem, Rebecca.

  Rebecca Pearson : Yes, you do, Jack. I don't know what you and Ben talked about, but something happened while I was changing.

  Jack Pearson : Listen, I... I... I'm telling you, just leave it.

  Rebecca Pearson : I'm not leaving it, Jack. You're acting like a crazy person. What's going on?

  Jack Pearson : Okay. I found out that you were gonna go on tour with your ex-boyfriend.

  Rebecca Pearson : [scoffing laugh]  My ex-boyfriend? I don't... I don't know what Ben told you, but he's not my ex-boyfriend. We dated for two months - two months - when I was nineteen years old.

  Jack Pearson : You've been spending three nights a week at rehearsal 'till 11:00 at night with this guy...

  Rebecca Pearson : [not wanting to wake the kids]  Shh.

  Jack Pearson : ...and you think that I didn't deserve to know that you had history with him?

  Rebecca Pearson : That's exactly why I didn't tell you. Because it was nothing and I knew that you would get like this about it.

  Jack Pearson : Like... how? Like this? How... how do I get?

  Rebecca Pearson : You get crazy and jealous. And I didn't want you sitting at home, spinning out about something that didn't even mean anything.

• Jack Pearson : You know what? I don't want you going on tour.

  Rebecca Pearson : What?

  Jack Pearson : No. The kids, they need you right now.

  Rebecca Pearson : You just told me this afternoon the kids didn't need me. That you would have everything taken care of, before you knew that I used to date Ben.

  Jack Pearson : No, you know what? I didn't want you going on tour then, either. But I... I was trying to be supportive, I was trying to be a good guy.

  Rebecca Pearson : You were trying to be a good guy?

  Jack Pearson : Yeah.

  Rebecca Pearson : [arguing over each other]  Wow, I didn't know you had to try so hard to be a good guy, Jack. That's news to me.

  Jack Pearson : You know what? Look, I thought... I thought that you deserved something for yourself.

  Rebecca Pearson : And now I don't.

  Jack Pearson : No.

  Rebecca Pearson : Now I don't deserve that?

  Jack Pearson : No, no, that's... don't confuse my words.

  Rebecca Pearson : That's what you said.

  Jack Pearson : That's not what I meant!

  Rebecca Pearson : It's what you just said, Jack.
