Girl #1: "Charlie, I looked at your model a week ago. Everything's still exactly the same. The pencil's still clipped up on the kitchen wall.

I came here to make it with you."

Griffin: "Yeah, well, maybe you should've been trying to figure stuff out with him."

Ross: "Like most families."
Claudia: "Yeah, I guess. Yeah. But in my head it was just the way it was when I left, you know? I guess I thought if I came home I could have that back, you know? But that family - that family doesn't exist anymore."
Julia to Justin: "I wanna take time apart - from them. Justin, I want us not to have dinner with them once a week. I wanna go to Tuscany with you this summer and be able to tell them what a great time we had without them. I want this to be about us for awhile."

Charlie: "It's good to see you, too."
Bailey to his siblings: "I saw it. I saw it, and you were right, Julia. Whatever's missing or whatever my life is, it's nobody's fault. It's not Mom and Dad's fault, or anybody else's. It's just me. So, I'm gonna go get help."
