As a follow-up to the recap, here are some memorable lines from “Something Ida This Way Comes.” Did I miss your favorites? Add them in the comments.
Saul: My dear sister, you are many things, but low-maintenance certainly ain’t one.
Nora: You don’t have to apologize for listening to me.
Tommy: Didn’t you used to date one of those flying monkeys?
Kevin: You don’t eat ice cream, do you? You’re more of a sorbet man.
Chad: I’ll text you goodnight?
Kevin: Nothing says goodnight like a text.
Ida: You have so many fancy gadgets here. Do you even use all of them?
Nora: I like to cook.
Ida: It’s not cooking when you use all this stuff. It’s cheating.
Kitty: You’ve saved us from giving my mother a second horrible birthday party.
Kitty: My mother is actually shockingly popular.
Tommy: We can’t have alcohol at the house.
Kevin: It’s now officially a nightmare.
Ida: A peasant girl told me there’s no alcohol. What is going on here?
Ida, to Kevin: Look at you, you’re so handsome. How come you’re still a bachelor? You just haven’t found the right girl. When I was your age, I would date you.
Kevin: Maybe one day when I get married he can cater my wedding. Oh wait, he’d have to be voted out of office for that.
McCallister: My senatorial duties don’t preclude catering.
Kevin: The only contribution you made to this party is to bring Senator Homophobe.
Kitty: You hid the wine in my closet? Is your little boyfriend in there too?
McCallister: I’m in politics. I’ve pretty much seen everything.
McCallister: Have you always been a closet drinker?
Kitty: Tonight was unusually bizarre, even for my family.
McCallister: I’m not going to use my brother to get your brother’s approval.
McCallister: I think you just outed two brothers for the price of one.
Ida, to Kevin: You’re not gay! Justin maybe, but not you!
Nora: William had an affair. He was an embezzler. Are you happy?
Ida: No, of course I’m not happy! I’m not surprised, but I’m not happy.
Ida: Your father spent all of his life in the office or at least that’s what he said. It was hardly a great marriage, not even a good one. When I looked at you, I could see the difference.
Ida: You must have done something right. You’ve got a house full of children. If I didn’t call Saul on Sundays, I don’t think I’d ever hear from either one of you.
Kevin: It was like a huge family meltdown, only really fun.
Kevin: I’m not used to being this guy. I’ve always been the one with intimacy issues. I’ve always been the one worried I let someone down.
Saul: She said you couldn’t sing.
Nora: Well, I can’t sing, but she didn’t have to tell me
Kevin: Maybe he can use it for his next campaign: “Vote for me, get soup.”
