Rebecca: (in her videomail to Justin) Justin, hey. I don't know how you are right now, or where you are, but I"m just going to assume that you're alright, and that you'll be watching this soon. I've been getting to know your family. Not that that's an easy thing to do, because they're all a little unhinged, but I think tonight I finally started to figure them out. Like Tommy is always so stoic, taking care of everyone around him. I'm just not sure who's taking care of him. And Kevin when he's really hurt he's sarcastic and funny, he's brutally funny, but I think even he knows that's not always enough, not now, not for this. And Sarah's just this force, kind of like Superwoman, you know, with the kids and the job, she's always fighting so hard for her family all the time, but I'm sure she sometimes wishes it was easier, not so complicated. Kitty's someone I don't really know yet, but I'm glad she came home, I think she needed to be here, especially now. I think being around her family is what grounds her, gives her direction, keeps her sane. And your mom, she's like the most amazing woman I've ever met, the way she handles everything and everyone. But every so often I can tell she's a million miles away. Thinking about you. And then she just looks so scared and so small. And you were wrong about being the black sheep. You're the heart of this family, Justin. They need you. I need you, so please be okay. Please. (edit) Jason: Look, this summer has been one of the best I've had in a long time.
Kevin: Oh, I know, it's like Sandy and Danny in Grease.
Jason: Yeah? Which one of us is Sandy?
Kevin: Well, you're about to go help the poor, so I think that makes you the goodie-two-shoes in this relationship. (edit) Nora: (to people in restaurant)Do you know why he's not here to celebrate? Because he's off fighting in that stupid war. And one more thing that makes this day special, my cheating husband died a year ago today. So maybe if you could move your drunken asses out of these chairs, then perhaps my family could sit down and eat a damn burrito and end this miserable day! (edit) Tommy: Are we over hating Holly yet?
Saul: We don't hate Holly, it's just awkward.
Kevin: I hate her.
Sarah: You hate everyone.
Kevin: I'm sorry, I didn't get a quickie on the spin cycle to put me in a good mood. (edit) Kevin: At least I know what the title of my autobiography is going to be: "Kevin Walker, a Lifetime of Endless Disappointments." (edit)

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

Kevin (to Kitty): Hey Rip Van Winkle.

This is a reference to the 1819 short story Rip Van Winkle, published by Washington Irving. In the story a man falls asleep, only to wake up 20 years later, not knowing what's been going on for all this time. (edit)
