Brothers & Sisters

As a follow-up to the recap, here are some memorable lines from the episode “Going Once … Going Twice” Did I miss one of your favorites? Share it in the comments.

Scotty: I can’t imagine my parents throwing me a “Yay, Scotty” dinner. Although they did once throw me a “We’re So Disappointed” brunch.

Justin: (of Uncle Saul) Poor guy. He doesn’t have anything to do. He doesn’t have a job. He just mopes around all day.
Nora: Hello, pot. Have you met kettle?
Justin: That’s hilarious, Mom. I think you’re forgetting the fact that I have a girlfriend. And I go to Narcotics Anonymous. And I have recruiting duties. … Okay, I’m pathetic, too.

Sarah: My repertoire’s been pretty limited the last few years to fish sticks and mac and cheese.

Robert: Hey, is it a sign of depression if your wife would rather stay up all night watching television than come to bed with you?

Robert: Walker news travels fast.

Tommy: We were hanging out at Ojai and I gave her a project to keep her mind off of things. It was a win-win.
Justin: What project?
Tommy: I let her write my history paper for me.

Robert: Seriously, you have got to get a referee for your family discussions.

Robert: Nobody goes into politics for the money.
Kevin: Right. Who needs those extra zeroes anyway.

Vicki: (of Scotty) He’s taking off like a rocket ship. You can lie around on the couch all day eating bon bons.
Kevin: Yeah, you know, I’m … I’m not a big fan of the bon bon.

Scotty: Sorry about that. Friends of the mayor wanted to pay their compliments.
Kevin: Oh, well, as long as it’s friends of the mayor and not just ordinary rich and powerful people.

Paul: I’m terrible with names.
Justin: Justin. Justin. Yeah, the, uh, ex-soldier, wounded knee.
Paul: Oh, and the horndog dad issues, right?

Justin: His name’s Paul. He’s not too tall. He’s gonna love Saul.
Rebecca: So basically, he’s a Dr. Seuss character?

Rebecca: Oh, that’s great. “Saul, meet Paul. He’s never done meth.” Saul will love that.

Rebecca: You don’t think it’s a good idea, do you.
Holly: It’s a terrible idea.
Rebecca: See, Mom, why are you encouraging him then.
Holly: Because he’s your boyfriend, and I want him to like me.
Rebecca: Or are you just excited at the possibility of another Walker dinner disaster?
Holly: I have to admit, it’s a little of both.

Paul: I’m Paul. Justin’s friend.
Tommy: Justin has friends!

Sarah: (to Justin) You and I will be having words.

Sarah: (to Tommy) You are so not as funny as you think.

Paul: You must be Justin’s mother. You know what? He speaks about you so often in our meetings, I feel like I already know you. You know, we have similar taste in men. I just go from one cheater to another.

Kevin: I have the best surprise in the history of surprises.
Scotty: Is it a puppy?

Paul: I’ve heard so much about you.
Saul: I’ve heard absolutely nothing about you.
Tommy: Don’t worry, you will.

Rebecca: Saul looks miserable.
Justin: No, no, Saul always looks like that. Look, Paul’s a nice guy.
Rebecca: Justin, some of his stories have permanently scarred my brain.

Kevin: I think he’s a little overwhelmed.
Nora: Overwhelmed? No, no, Kevin. He feels bulldozed.
Kevin: I’m sorry, what are you talking about? I was just trying to make him happy.
Nora: No, no. You just don’t believe anyone can succeed without your help. There you go, Kevin Walker to the rescue. You know what? Maybe some people would really like to do things without your help. Maybe we don’t want to be rescued. Maybe we’d like you to mind your own business.
Kevin: I think you’re being really unfair. Because you always said how happy you were when Dad surprised you with our house.
Paul: Your dad the cheater?
Justin: Not now, Paul.
Nora: I pretended to be happy. God, all the years I pretended to be happy with what was handed to me. As if it were inconceivable I might actually have an opinion of my own. You know what? The men in this family need to learn they can’t barge into every situation like a bull in a china shop, thinking they can fix everything themselves. If you would actually try to communicate for a change, then you would learn Scotty didn’t want you to buy a house for him. And I didn’t want your help at that damn auction today. … Sarah, this is lovely. And I’m sorry I can’t stay long enough to actually eat anything. (walks out)
Paul: Wow. Dinner and a show.

Saul: Paul’s not that bad.
Justin: Oh, so you’re gonna call him again?
Saul: Are you out of your mind? Not if he was the last gay man alive.

Scotty: You bought a house to make yourself feel better. You wanted to change the headline.

Scotty: Kevin, I don’t love you because of how much money you make, or because you can take care of me. I love you because your heart is bigger than your very annoying brain. And even if you do want to be competitive with me, it wouldn’t make sense, because you’re the reason I am who I am now.
