Brothers & Sisters

As a follow-up to yesterday’s recap, here are some memorable lines from the “Home Front” episode.

Nora: Don’t you roll your eyes at me. Maternal guilt is what I do best.

Sarah: If you don’t talk to me, I might murder someone.

Kitty: It seems like there’s his high-powered working woman box, and then there’s this fiance-slash-wife box, and I just don’t know how to fit in both boxes at the same time.

Rebecca: Last year at this time …
Kevin: What, Dad took the final plunge while she was blowing out her candles? If I were her, I’d be afraid to celebrate my birthday. Maybe there’s a Kitty Curse.

Sarah: Juice box explosion. I stabbed it a little aggressively with the straw. It was either that or Monica’s eye.

Joe: You think I could put up with you and your family for ten years if I didn’t think you’re hot?

Julia: Tell her to call me when Justin dies, then we’ll have something to talk about.

Kitty: I don’t want nice. I want my mother.

Nora: Overstepping? That’s what families do! It’s the damn definition of family, overstepping!

Jason: You’re an idiot.
Kevin: I know, but I’m your idiot.

Kitty: My mother has to love me, I’m her daughter, but you, not so much.

Jason: He’s sending me on a mission to Malaysia.
Kevin: Malaysia?
Jason: I know. It’s far.
Kevin: No, actually that’s not far. New York is far. Malaysia’s halfway around the world.

Jason: I’m helping build a school.
Kevin: Oh, great. Forget it, you know, because obviously I can’t compete with poor needy children.
Jason: You know what, no, you can’t compete, because this is bigger than me and what I want.
Kevin: What, now I’m a narcissist?
Jason: There are people in this world who need help.
Kevin: Yes, Jason, people like me!

Holly: I still miss him.
Nora: So do I. Bastard.

Nora: Holly, you being here at my husband’s gravesite, that’s an imposition. You sharing a taco with your daughter, I can live with.

Sarah: I’m starving already, for alcohol.

Kevin: At least I know what the title of my autobiography is going to be: “Kevin Walker, a Lifetime of Endless Disappointments.”

Saul: Excuse me, please, I need, I think, a drink.

Tommy: Are we over hating Holly yet?
Saul: We don’t hate Holly, it’s just awkward.
Kevin: I hate her.
Sarah: You hate everyone.
Kevin: I’m sorry, I didn’t get a quickie on the spin cycle to put me in a good mood.

Tommy: Since when are we not allowed to blab?

Rebecca: For once, why don’t you just tell me to my face that you hate I’m a part of this family?

Kitty: It’s true what they say, tequila makes everything better.
Sarah: Nobody says that.
Kitty: Well, when I’m First Lady, I’ll say it, and it’ll catch on.

Kevin: You know it’s your fault.
Nora: What’s my fault this time?

Nora: Do you know why he’s not here to celebrate? Because he’s off fighting in that stupid war. And one more thing that makes this day special, my cheating husband died a year ago today. So maybe if you could move your drunken asses out of these chairs, then perhaps my family could sit down and eat a damn burrito and end this miserable day!

Kitty: We’re not really fit to be seen in public.

Jason: Look, this summer has been one of the best I’ve had in a long time.
Kevin: Oh, I know, it’s like Sandy and Danny in Grease.
Jason: Yeah? Which one of us is Sandy?
Kevin: Well, you’re about to go help the poor, so I think that makes you the goodie-two-shoes in this relationship.

Sarah: I thought the other day that’s what you wanted.
Joe: Please don’t. I was confused.

Rebecca: Justin, hey. I don’t know how you are right now, or where you are, but I”m just going to assume that you’re alright, and that you’ll be watching this soon. I’ve been getting to know your family. Not that that’s an easy thing to do, because they’re all a little unhinged, but I think tonight I finally started to figure them out. Like Tommy is always so stoic, taking care of everyone around him. I’m just not sure who’s taking care of him. And Kevin when he’s really hurt he’s sarcastic and funny, he’s brutally funny, but I think even he knows that’s not always enough, not now, not for this. And Sarah’s just this force, kind of like Superwoman, you know, with the kids and the job, she’s always fighting so hard for her family all the time, but I’m sure she sometimes wishes it was easier, not so complicated. Kitty’s someone I don’t really know yet, but I’m glad she came home, I think she needed to be here, especially now. I think being around her family is what grounds her, gives her direction, keeps her sane. And your mom, she’s like the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, the way she handles everything and everyone. But every so often I can tell she’s a million miles away. Thinking about you. And then she just looks so scared and so small. And you were wrong about being the black sheep. You’re the heart of this family, Justin. They need you. I need you, so please be okay. Please.
