Brothers & Sisters

Sarah: Look, I get it, you're upset that Rebecca is spending time with my family and in some feeble attempt at payback you're trying to ruin my marriage, well you know, it's not going to work. Holly: Well from what I understand your marriage is already in shambles. And honestly I couldn't care less, what I do care about is my daughter. And while your kids were at school and you were at work, your husband generously offered to teach her the guitar. (Sarah looks at Holly) Oh-whoa, did I hit a nerve? Is that scenario familiar? Sarah: Get out of my office.

Nora: This is not a class. You're asking me out. Is this because I wouldn't go out on a date with you? If it is mister, let me tell you this is sexual harassment and I don't plan to take that lying down. Mark August: The jokes that are running through my head right now. Nora: Well keep them there.

Sarah: Holly. To what do I owe this unpleasant surprise? Holly: We need to talk. Sarah: I thought the perk of you and Tommy opening the winery was that we no longer need to talk.

Kitty: What the hell are we waiting for? Robert: What are we waiting for? You wanna move in? Kitty: Will you marry me?

Senator McCallister: But while others cloak themselves in cynicism or give in to apathy, we must be unafraid to hope. Hope is the simplest of words and the hardest thing to have in politics and yet it is the very foundation of democracy. The hope of making a better country, a better world, and not just for some of us, for everyone.

Holly: Listen to me. I have had a front row seat to that family for years. I know what it feels like to be an outsider. I know how enticing they can be. Whatever you think you want from them, trust me, you are not going to get it this way. Rebecca: Excuse me? Holly: I know you Rebecca. And I am guessing that Joe did not come on to you out of the blue. Rebecca: Just because you're a whore it doesn't mean that I am.

Rebecca: Why couldn't you just trust me to handle it? Holly: Because it is not your responsibility to handle it. I can't have you over there wondering if some man twice your age is trying to corner you. Rebecca: Oh don't you make this about me Mom, you've been waiting for a chance to get back at Sarah for telling me the truth about my father. Holly: That is not true. Rebecca: Oh isn't it? They hate you and you want them to hate me too.

Nora: She knows you, how does she know you. Professor August: Frequent diner. Nora: How frequent? I'm a bachelor, there's nothing in my refrigerator. Nora: Ahh…you bring all your first dates here, don't you? You're not the first woman I've ever brought here. Nora: Ah-ha-ha-ha…I am such an idiot. You are another charming intelligent louse. This whole date is an act, a well orchestrated, well rehearsed act. The romantic little table, the exotic setting, you pretend to be so open. All of this is just a way of hiding behind your intellect, using someone else's culture to make you seem so wordly, so damn sexy. Have you even been to Ethiopia? Professor August shaking his head in bewilderment Nora: I didn't think so. I assume this has fulfilled my attendance requirements, Professor August. Goodnight.

Paige: Connect four (while playing the game Connect Four). Kevin: What? Where? Paige: One two three four, I win. Kevin: What, whoa, what? Wait…were you distracting me? That was a set-up? Paige: Yeah. Kevin: Wow, great strategy. Wait till you're old enough for game night.

Paige: Uncle Kevin can I ask you a question? Kevin: How come I got all the good looks in the family? Paige: Why aren't you married? Kevin:Ah, well,…ah, Paige, um because gay people aren't allowed to get married. Well, not in this state anyway. Paige: But that's not really fair. Kevin: I agree, it's not fair. Paige: Is that why you don't have a boyfriend, 'cause you can't get married?
