Holly Harper quotes from Brothers & Sisters

Holly

The thing is, I don't blame him. I blame myself.

Saul

We can't help who we love.

Holly

Yeah, but we can help who we are. We can decide to become ourselves. What I saw tonight... seeing myself in Nora's eyes? Is not... It is time that I become a person. I won't be invisible any longer.

Holly

Well, who knows. Maybe we'll be friends some day.

Nora

Maybe. But not today.

Holly

I let you treat me like dirt because I loved and respected your father. But I am done treating you with any measure of civility.

Sarah

Is that a threat?

Holly

You bet your ass it's a threat.

Rebecca

This is how you set it up?

Holly

Don't say that.

Rebecca

Oh, but it is. I mean, you didn't just deprive me of a father, mom, you deprived me of an entire family.

Holly

Honey, you have a family. You and me, we're family.

Rebecca

I could have had so much more. I could have had brothers and sisters all these years, I could have had this busy, chaotic childhood that you fantasize about as a kid. But you didn't let me.

Holly

Listen to me. I have had a front-row seat to that family for years. I know what it feels like to be an outsider, how enticing they can be. But whatever you think you want from them, trust me, you are not going to get it this way.

Rebecca

Excuse me?

Holly

I know you, Rebecca. And I am guessing that Joe did not just come on to you out of the blue.

Rebecca

Just because you're a whore doesn't mean that I am.

Holly

I can't believe you did that! This dress is couture!

Nora

I'm sure it's been stained before!

Justin

What are you now, like 35 years old? Have you ever had a relationship that’s lasted longer than three weeks? You walk around in your suit and tie pretending that you’re a man, but really you’re just a scared little boy.

Kevin

Actually, I have a boyfriend, and I have for quite awhile now…….

Justin

…big freaking whoop ..and what is she doing here?

Holly

I’m here for my daughter.

Justin

In case you haven’t noticed, she’s been living here all summer. Wishing she was a Walker. You too are exactly alike. You’ll do anything. No I’m sorry — screw anyone to be a part of this family!

Holly

Justin, we better do this tomorrow..

Justin

I need to talk to Rebecca.

Holly

I know but she is really upset.

You can't be here. Why don't you just leave her alone.

Holly

David, don't, that's not going to help anything.

Justin

I'm not gonna leave until I talk to her!

Holly

Just let him talk to her.

Why?

Holly

Because he is the father of our grandchild! He is going to be in her life forever, he is going to be in our lives forever.

Rebecca

[Comes out] Where were you?... Is that blood?

Justin

Yeah but uh it's not mine.

Rebecca

What happened?

Justin

There was an accident, a kid on a bike got hit by a car and I went to the hospital. But he's gonna be ok.

Why didn't you call?

Justin

Because in the chaos I left my phone in the car and by the time I got to a phone, Rebecca you weren't picking up. .

Rebecca

What are you saying? So this wasn't because you didn't want to get married?

Justin

No! I mean yeah. Rebecca, the truth is, I had huge doubts tonight. Not doubts about you, doubts about myself. About becoming a husband, about becoming a father. The ridiculous part is I'm completely capable of taking care of other people, I had no problems taking care of that kid tonight. It seems like the only person I can't take care of is myself. Rebecca, I know I can be a good husband to you and I know I can be a good father to our baby. I can't promise you I won't ever doubt myself again, but I will never doubt us. Give me a second chance, and marry me tomorrow.

Rebecca

Ok. [Hugs him]'
