Deke and Simmons in “Unfinished Business”

Deke

I don't know really what to say.

Simmons

That's a first.

Deke

I guess I don't have to ask how you're doing.

Simmons

I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that. You're a victim in all of this, too. I just don't... I don't really know how to process it. He's losing himself. I feel like I'm losing him, too.

Deke

You haven't lost him. You know him better than he even knows himself. He's complicated. And he's stubborn.

Simmons

Yes.

Deke

That's why you let him win arguments sometimes, right? He can be a real baby when he's sick, so that's why you got to take care of him. And he's always got the weight of the world on his shoulders. That's why he needs you there to help lighten the load. Oh, and he loves his prosciutto and mozzarella sandwiches that no one can make right except you.

Simmons

How could you possibly know all those things?

Deke

Because my mom used to tell me about her parents all the time. She always spoke about her dad with so much love and admiration on her face. Said that he was the best man she ever knew. So I know that you can help Fitz. And I know that you two are gonna be okay because... the steps you take don't need to be big...

Simmons

They just need to take you in the right direction. You're our grandson? [Vomits]
