Kate Pearson : Tobe? Where's that punch bowl that my mom sent us? If we don't put it out, she's gonna think that we don't use it.
Toby Damon : We don't use it.
Kate Pearson : She can't know that!

Kate Pearson : You overcompensate for me, mom, and you always have. And here I am, a 37 year old woman, and you still make me feel like a stupid... fat little kid.
Rebecca Pearson : I'm sorry. What have I ever done to make you feel like that?
Kate Pearson : I'm not gonna do this.
Rebecca Pearson : Kate. I want to know. What have I ever done?
Kate Pearson : You existed. It's everything about you, mom. It's not just that you're beautiful or thin. Or that you have perfect pitch even when you talk. It's everything. And you wanted a daughter like you, and I was never gonna be you.
Rebecca Pearson : No. No. I never wanted you to be like me, Kate.
Kate Pearson : Oh, no. You wanted me to be the you that you never became.
[silence]
Kate Pearson : Well, you did it, ma. You got me to say terrible, unfair things. Least you could do is say something terrible back.
Rebecca Pearson : I... I just can't think of anything that would be... quite that terrible, is the thing. You're my entire life, Kate. You know that. You and your brothers are my entire life.

Toby Damon : [Kate ends a phone call] Who was that?
Kate Pearson : It was the house band that I sent my demo to.

Toby Damon : That is awesome. I knew strep throat had a purpose. Good for strep throat.
