Jack & Bobby Season 1 Episode 2

Adult Marcus Ride: There's nothing Grace loathed as much as a Republican. She just kept saying it was so wrong. At the time I thought she meant the party itself was wrong, but looking back I think her point was more that it was wrong for him.

Jack: Where are you going?
Grace: Mini-meeting.
Jack: Dressed like that?
Grace: Hah, where are you going?
Jack: Bowling.
Grace (sarcastically): Dressed like that?

Bobby: Look, I don't wanna talk to you when you're like this, mom? (Grace is stoned)
Grace: Why? I'm fine. See? I'm still me.
Bobby: You know what, I wish you were someone else.

Jack (about Bobby): He's so irritating, but he's so...
Grace: So good.
Grace: It's hard to raise someone who's a better person than you are. Thank your lucky stars you only had to learn that once, I had to learn it twice.

Grace: Good evening. I'd like to welcome all of you tonight to a renaissance. For some of you tonight marks a return to your college life. For some a new beginning. And so on the eve of the tremendous journey that you are all embarking I would like to offer you a thought to take with you. Ok listen carefully. You will fail here. All of you.

College is not the culmination of your high school career. It is the beginning of your adult life. Only it's a slow sweet beginning that feels nothing like life and all of its attending obligations will eventually bring. So fail here. Be bad at things. Be embarrassed. Be afraid. Be vulnerable. Go out on a limb, or two, or twelve and you'll fall and it'll hurt, but the harder you fall the higher you'll rise. You louder you fail, the clearer your future becomes. Failure is a gift, welcome it.

There are people who spend their whole lives wondering how they became the people they became. How certain chances passed them by. Why they didn't take the road less traveled. Those people are not you. You have the front row seats to your own transformation and in transforming yourself you might even transform the world. And it will be electric. I promise you it'll be terrifying, but embrace that. Embrace the new person you're becoming.

This is your moment. I promise you it is now. Now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now. Own that, know that, deep in your bones knowing and go to sleep every night knowing that and wake up every morning remembering that and then keep going. Keep going.
