8 Essential 'This Is Us' Quotes For Tuggable Heartstrings
eonline

I, along with the rest of the nation, have recently become obsessed with NBC's new show, This Is Us. Every now and then, a show will come along that explains family, friends, love and loss, and everything in between in the most real, but most renowned light.

This series tugs at your heartstrings, and you see yourself in the characters that you get to know on the screen.

Not only is the acting great, but so is the dialogue. Here are some of the best quotes from This Is Us, showing how accurately it portrays life's trials and triumphs:

1. "I am thankful for my family. I'm thankful that we're all safe and there's no one in the world that I'd rather be too hot or too cold with."

-Jack, Season 1, Episode 8

2. "You're adopted, and we don't talk about that enough. Because to me, you are every part my son. And maybe I don't want you to feel like you stand out. But I need you to know something. I want you to stand out. I want all of you to be as different as you can possibly be, in all the best ways. I love you as much as a human heart can, kiddo. You are an exceptional young man. So don't let your old man's poor choices make you feel afraid to be different. Ok? Ok."

-Jack, Season 1, Episode 6

3."What happened is my dad died. That's what. And I hated him for it. And I couldn't eat for a month. I used to wake myself up crying, so I could cry myself back to sleep at night. That's what happened."

-Kevin, Season 1, Episode 6

4. "So, you told the kids that he's grandpa, right, but not that he's sick. That's ballsy."

-Kevin, Season 1, Episode 5

5. "This is the scariest part. Some people think the scariest part is coming to the hospital to have a baby. The scariest part is leaving the hospital with the baby."

-Doctor K., Season 1, Episode 1

6. "It's always going to be about the weight for me, Toby. It's been my story ever since I was a little girl. And every moment that I'm not thinking about it, I'm thinking about it. Like will this chair hold me, will this dress fit me. And if I ever get pregnant, will anyone ever notice? It's just at the core of who I am, it's just deep inside, and eight tequila shots can only mask that for a couple hours."

-Kate, Season 1, Episode 2

7. "So I'm gonna need everyone in this room to believe that only good things are going to happen today. Actually, I need you to know it. Do you know it baby?"

-Jack, Season 1, Episode 1

8. "I like to think that one day you'll be an old man like me talkin' a young man's ear off explainin' to him how you took the sourest lemon that life has to offer and turned it into something resembling lemonade. If you can do that, then maybe you will still be taking three babies home from this hospital, just maybe not the way you planned."

-Dr. K, Season 1, Episode 1

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
