Episode Quotes
Nate: All right. uh, is this above-average Eli weirdness? Does it have anything to do with the fact that Beth took your virginity.
Eli: Why can't you ever just say that Beth and I were together? Why do you always have to bring up the virginity thing?
Nate: Because it's fun.

Rev. Michael Stills: You know, it's funny. First I had to fight to get hired as a woman. Now they want to fire me because I'm a man.

Dr. Lee: Do you always talk this much?
Eli: Only when I'm anxious.
Dr. Lee: So all the time then.

Rev. Michael Stills: In Matthew 16, Peter asks Jesus who he is, and Jesus responds, “Who do you say I am? Who are you?” For the past 30 years, I didn’t know the answer. For 30 years, I have been a prisoner. My soul may be safe for Heaven but remains trapped in the wrong body on Earth. Two years ago, I embarked on a journey to free my soul from that body to one which mirrored my soul rather than hold it captive. And I come back to you now, the Prodigal Son--finally a son in flesh as well as spirit. The son returned home and seeking understanding. I know finally the answer to Christ’s question to Peter. I know who I am. And with your reaction, all of you will tell me who you are.

Patti: You've got to do what's good for you, or you're no good for anybody.
Taylor: I hope you're right.
Patti: When have you ever known me to be wrong?

Frank: Fate can be changed, Eli, except for when it can't.
Eli: That's helpful. I should tell Nate that. Maybe he'd hate my guts a little less.

Taylor: There are gonna be a million decisions to make and probably a million fights.
Matt: Eh, I'd say a couple of hundred thousand, you know? Be optimistic.
Taylor: We can't collapse every time they happen. We need to keep talking, even if it's screaming.
Matt: I like screaming. There's makeup sex to look forward to.
Taylor: We're about to find out if our baby's healthy, and you're cracking sex jokes.
Matt: What, you don't think consistency's an attractive feature in a guy?
