Cougar Town · Season 1, Episode 4

Jules and Grayson in “I Won't Back Down”

Jules

Well, you've got a real flair for decorating.

Grayson

[About his ex-wife] She took everything. What do you want?

Jules

Look, your marriage sucked.

Grayson

Thank you.

Jules

And my marriage sucked! But why would you let me think you're some jerk who walked away from his wife?

Grayson

I don't know, maybe because I had the crazy idea you'd want to talk about it. Or I didn't want to relive the crazy adventure of having someone you love just walk away. Definitely one of those two things.

Jules

Well, you can't just pretend it didn't happen.

Grayson

Are you sure? Because I'm pretending this conversation didn't happen as it's happening.

Jules

Grayson, look. I know what it's like to want to erase your past. I had Bobby move all his crap out just so I wouldn't have a daily reminder of it. But you can't pack away your past in boxes, it's always gonna be a part of who you are. Look, you were treated really, really badly. Which kind of justifies why you can be such a tool. I mean, don't get me wrong, I was also treated really badly. But I'm super nice, whatever.

Grayson

Worst buck-up speech ever.

Jules

I'm not done yet! You need to know that eventually, this isn't going to hurt so much. And the good times will get easier to remember. And you're gonna end up being a stronger person because of all that you've been through. I promise. [Long pause] Oh and for the record, I hated your wife. She was a total bitch. Needed to be said. You deserve better.
