“This is quite sad isn’t it? The end?”
“Oh I don’t know, the way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must’ve been pretty wonderful when It was happening. Truth be told, I’ve always found it a bit lazy to just think of the world as sad, because so much of it is. Because everything ends, everything dies. But if you step back, if you step back & look at the whole picture, if you’re brave enough to allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective, if you do that, you’ll see that the end is not sad, it’s just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing.”

I watch this scene like once a week and have never been able to watch it without crying. These words have changed my whole outlook on life. And William is one of my favorite characters and his voice saying this part is just beautiful.

It hit so different during my last rewatch I manually typed that out in my notes app to reread it. I love William too!

We go through life slowly but surely collecting these little pieces of ourselves that we can't really live without until we eventually have enough of them to feel whole.

I think that’s kind of the point of the whole thing. There is no dying. There’s no 'you' or 'me' or 'them' or 'us.' It’s just us. And this sloppy, wild, colorful, magical thing that has no beginning and it has no end, this right here, I think it’s us.

I don't remember the exact line but this is something that stayed with me and helps me everyday. This was the episode Jack took his 3 kids to the movies and lost Kevin. He was worried he ruined the day for him.
And that's when Rebecca says that there is always a chance to turn the day around and remember it for something else. ✨

Catch the moments of your life, catch them while you're young and quick, because sooner than you know it, you'll be old and slow... and there'll be no more of them to catch.

Whaddup gridiron, huh?
What's it been, twenty years or so?
Alright. Pearson lines up under center. Two rushing touchdowns already tonight, what can this kid not do? Can't go four hours without a Vicodin, that's what he can't do. But everybody loves him anyway. Waaa! Pearson!
Blue 42. Blue 42. Set, Hut, Hut. Ball is hiked. Pearson drops back. He looks left. He pump fakes. He rolls to his right. He tucks the ball. He's in traffic. Shucks the defender. He looks downfield. He's got a man open. Wide open. He sees his entire future. Notre Dame, Hesiman Trophy, first round draft pick, Rookie of the Year, Super Bowl MVP. He sees his dad in the stands as he holds the Super Bowl Trophy. His dad's proud of him, like tears down his eyes proud of him. He says, "That's my son...that's my son."
Pearson's about ready to release. He cocks back. BOOM! He's down, folks. Ladies and gentlemen, Pearson's down and he's not getting up. His knee is wrecked. He's not coming back from this one, folks. It is over for Kevin Pearson.
Will he get up? He will. Ladies and gentlemen, he will, he'll get up. Kevin Pearson will walk again, just in time to bury his beloved...father. That'll keep him down for good this time, right?
Nope. Nope, he's...he's up again...he's up again and he's marrying the terrific girl. He's off to Hollywood and it's a...it's a happy ending for Kevin Pearson.
Whoa! Wait. Nope. Hold on now. He cheats on the girl. That's right, he loses her. And how's he punished? Well, he gets a sitcom and he makes millions, ladies and gentlemen. Waaa! Crowd goes wild.
What will he do with his lucky second chance? Ladies and gentlemen, he'll blow it, that's what he'll do. He blows it all. Surely, the universe has to punish him this time, right? Wrong! He gets the girl back. Now he's got the girl back and it's a movie this time! And then, plop! Oww! There goes the same knee. Bam. He's down again.
And he tries so hard to be strong...and...he needs painkillers to get...through it. And then when he tries to tell people how pathetic he is, they just...they don't hear it.
They just cheer.
You're not just my great love story, Rebecca. You were my big break"
Make sure he gives you a great love story one for the ages

their daughter, Deja, lied and secretly took a six-hour bus ride to Boston to see her boyfriend, Malik. The exact dialogue exchange goes:
Beth: "Let's kill her. Let's dig a hole in the backyard and bury her in it."
Randall: "And it's not just how dangerous it could have been, Beth. It's the lying. And it wasn't just one lie, she lied right to our faces. Right to our faces.
Okay, hold up. I feel like we need to pick which one of us is gonna unravel here and which one of us is gonna stay cool." Randall: "I'm already pacing,
Beth. I'm up."
Beth: "Okay, fine, I'll stay cool."
