• Jack Pearson : You see I don't know how much feet I'm going to need for this wall right here, you see how each, how each inch is three feet?

  Randall Pearson : Twenty two and a half feet.

  Jack Pearson : Wow. That's pretty cool buddy, I didn't know you're so good with numbers. Wait come here. What about this one, right here? How many do I need for that?

  Randall Pearson : I don't know that one.

  Jack Pearson : You knew how to do it a second ago and now you don't?

  Randall Pearson : I don't know it Dad.

  Jack Pearson : I think you do.

  Randall Pearson : I don't.

  Jack Pearson : Randall, thats enough, come here.

  Jack Pearson : Look. This wall, right here. How much do I need, tell me answer.

  Randall Pearson : I don't know.

  Jack Pearson : How many feet? Tell me right now.

  Randall Pearson : I don't know.

  Jack Pearson : Dam it Randall tell me the answer!

  Randall Pearson : [whispers something] 

  Jack Pearson : Whats that?

  Randall Pearson : Thirty four.

  Jack Pearson : That's right. Why are you pretending not to know this stuff, huoh? Getting Bs in maths not letting people see how smart you are?

  Randall Pearson : I don't want to be different from them.

  Jack Pearson : Different from who? Who? The kids from school?

  Randall Pearson : If I get an A, I'll get ice-cream and Kate and Kevin won't. And then they'll hate me.

  Jack Pearson : Can I be honest with you, man to man? You know you're Mom and me, we always try to treat you kids the same. Always have. Hasn't always worked, because well, you're not all the same. You're adopted and we don't talk about that enough, because to me you are every part my son. And maybe I don't want you to feel like you stand out. But I need you to know something... I want you to stand out. I want all of you, to be as different as you can possibly be, in all the best ways. I love you as much as a human heart can kiddo. You are an exceptional young man. So don't let your Dad's poor choices make you feel afraid to be different. Ok?, ok.
