Lux...
Cate, what are you doing here? ... [shakes her head] Don't you people learn?
Ryan, let's not talk about high school, okay? Everybody knows that I hated high school, so...
What are you talking about, who hates high school, Cate? What, did you have a pizza face or something?
No!
Like an unrequited love affair with the driver's ed teacher?
Ryan, will you...Ryan, stop!
Or were you one of those girls who got knocked up on prom night? (pauses when he sees Cate's reaction) Did you get knocked up on prom night?
More like winter formal...
(to Cate and Baze, as they argue about high school) Seriously, I'm going back to foster care. You can't be parents, you both need parents!
You threw a remote at my head last night.
Threw is strong. I tossed it
I'm you're daughter.
You're my what?
You'd think with your last name being Foster, you'd actually be equipped to be a foster parent.
S1 E2Home Inspected
Cate There's something I need to say before we start the show today. I didn't want to say anything before because I didn't want you to see me as a different person. Or in a different light. But maybe that's what's happened. Things... Things have been illuminated, and everything has changed. I met my daughter. Lux. I think there's a reason she's come back into my life. Into our lives. Maybe it's... I don't know... maybe it's so she and I, and all the people that we love, can grow up, once and for all. Together.
Look, an ambush is not the way to win your child back.
I know. Before you say anything else, you have got to hear me out, okay? (pauses, turns to Cate) Go ahead.
Okay, so I'm not a soccer mom, and he, he can barely spell PTA.
Don't even know what it is.
Yeah. But we're here, and...okay, we're just not gonna go anywhere until you approve us.
Cate, listen--
No, you listen. I gave her up 16 years ago because someone in your department promised me that there would be someone great to adopt her, and no one did, and if you would have left her with us 16 years ago, how can you not leave her with us now? She has been in seven foster homes, and she has hated every single one of them. Are they really that much better than our homes? Are we that much worse? Because we can make room for her.
Get batteries. Not fight on the lawn. Look, we don't have it all worked out yet, you know?
We can give her the one thing that no one else ever has: love
My room is amazing. (pointing at the poster on the wall) But who are the Spin Doctors?
Um...they, uh, they provided the soundtrack of your conception.
Hmm.
Sorry for putting that image in your head.
S1 E3Rent Uncollected
BSBaze's Father
You know what, Nate? You can kiss the bar good-bye. I'm done.
You know what?
BSBaze's Father
What?
I'm done. You can take your bar, because I am done with you, and I am done with all of this. Sixteen years ago, I was afraid to tell you--and you know, it seems funny, given everything--because I didn't want to disappoint you and let you down, but somehow, I have managed to do that every day since. You were never gonna believe that I was responsible. You were never gonna believe in me. So I don't, I don't know why I came to this dinner. Oh, wait. I do know why. It's because you threatened to take away the one means I have of actually supporting my kid, because that's what I'm trying to do here, Dad, whether you believe it or not, is support my kid, because that's what I thought parents did!
BSBaze's Father
I supported you every day of your life!
Not in the way that counts. You call me crazy, but I thought that, that, that loving your kid meant that you actually made them feel like you did. You know what? You ask me why I want to do this, why I want to be a dad. It's because I don't want to turn my back on Lux, the way that you...
BSBaze's Father
The way what, huh? Come on, say it. Like I did to you? That's the story you tell yourself, to keep from thinking that you're a screw-up? You blame me?
BSBaze's Father
What's this?
It's what's most important, right? $3,200 cash. Rent for the bar. From Baze.
BSBaze's Father
What, did he rob a bank or something?
I'm no expert on parents, but I always thought they just wanted their kids to be happy.
BSBaze's Father
I do want my son to be happy.
You want your son to be you. You're not mad at Baze because he, because he made the building a bar, or because he can't pay his rent, or even because he had me and didn't tell you. You're mad because...because he looked at you and decided that he didn't want to be you. Now, I've only known you for a few minutes, and I've known Baze for less than two weeks, but I know he's twice the dad that you are.
Not everything in her life was bad. I don't like the looks of it, but Bug, Tasha...
What?
I don't know. To Lux, they're the good. I mean, if you think about it, we both had families before Lux. So maybe she just wants you to realize that she had a family before us.
Pretty insightful for a quarterback.
I don't know what's worse having your foster parents treat you like crap or having your own parents treat you that way.
Coffee three sugars.
