- Toby Damon: Permission to overstep as your ex-husband and the co-parent of our children?
- Kate Pearson: Permission granted.
- Toby Damon: You are what the kids call a 'baller' in every sense of the word. You are creating the arts curriculum for the freaking state of California, for God's sake, all while being a mother. But when you get around your brothers, you get unsteady. I don't get it.
- Kate Pearson: Yeah. Neither do I.
- Toby Damon: Your mother chose you for a reason.
