• [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.

• Miguel : You're handling this whole tour thing great, by the way.

  Jack Pearson : Yeah? I am?

  Miguel : Are you?

  [see Jack pretending to look busy] 

  Miguel : Jack.

  Jack Pearson : Mm. Yeah.

  Miguel : It's me.

  Jack Pearson : Why the hell is she going on a tour? I mean, I could deal with a piano bar a couple nights a week, but a tour? I mean, who does she think she is, Janis freaking Joplin? We've got three kids. Three teenagers at home. But I can't tell her that I think it's crazy, because then... she's just, she's gonna resent me forever.

  Miguel : That's true.

  Jack Pearson : Yeah. And then this guy Ben, in her band. Ben, I've met him a couple times. He has a thing for her. H-he, oh, he clearly has a thing for her.

  Miguel : Jack. It's Rebecca. Wouldn't matter if this guy was Jeff Goldblum. She only has eyes for you.

  Jack Pearson : Jeff Goldblum. Really?

  Miguel : Have you seen "Jurassic Park"?

• Miguel : Hey, um, since Rebecca's gonna be gone next weekend, maybe you and I could check out that new place on Lincoln. I mean, y-you don't have to drink or anything, but, uh, even though Shelly and I, you know, haven't been split that long, our marriage has been dead a long time, and I... and I think I'm ready to get back out there. I need my wingman.

  Jack Pearson : Hey, how 'bout you come to Bec's show tonight? I... I'm sure there's gonna be a bunch of lonely hearts there, you could buy 'em a Valentine's Day drink.

  Miguel : Yeah?

  Jack Pearson : Yeah.

  Miguel : Yeah, o-okay, yeah.

  [standing to leave] 

  Miguel : Yeah. You know what I'll do? I'll wear that new fedora I got.

  Jack Pearson : Don't do that.

  Miguel : I'm going to.

  Jack Pearson : Embarrass yourself, and me!

  Miguel : I look great in that hat.

• 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.
