Quotes 

• Miguel : [Kevin is nervous about the opening of his play]  I was a project manager for thirty years, so I... I don't have a creative bone in my body, and I can't talk to you artist to artist.

  Kevin Pearson : Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I... I know that, Miguel.

  Miguel : But I do know what I used to do when I was nervous, about a big work presentation, or about anything. I'd talk to your dad. He was... he was my person. He was the one who could steady you when the world felt like it was spinning.

  Kevin Pearson : Yeah, that was my dad. That's very true.

  Miguel : Yeah, and you remind me of him, you know that? The way that you move your hands when you talk. The way you walk across a room. Sometimes you remind me of him so much that the hair on my arm stands up. It's why it breaks my heart that you don't like me, Kevin. Because when I'm around you, I feel like I get a little piece of my best friend back.

  Kevin Pearson : Miguel, uh...

  Miguel : Now, you... are Jack Pearson's son. You have him inside of you. And when you're nervous or you're at your most nerve-wracking moment, the curtain's about to go up... all you have to do is remind yourself of that. Think about what he'd do... and you'll be fine.

• Sophie : Did I wake you up?

  Kevin Pearson : No. No, I've been awake. I'm awake.

  Sophie : Did you have that Katie Couric nightmare again?

  Kevin Pearson : What? No. Of course not. What are you talking about?

  Sophie : Who'd she leave to play tennis with?

  Kevin Pearson : Salman Rushdie.
