Nick Quote #665

Quote from Nick in Mars Landing

Jess: My kids are not gonna beg for an education, okay? They're gonna be forced to go to school just like everybody else and they're gonna hate it!
Nick: Can I actually be very real with you for a second?
Jess: Yes.
Nick: Here's what I really believe: You can create a plan for your life, and then crazy things get thrown at you, and that, by the way, is the closest thing that I have to a plan. So maybe it's crazy to talk about being an intergalactic truck driver. But what I think is crazier is trying to plan every single detail of our future.
Jess: I think it's crazy not to. I just can't live that way.
Nick: I guess we just disagree.
Jess: Well, we never agree on anything, ever, Nick.

Quote from Nick

Nick: I always thought it would be cool to be a long-haul trucker.

Quote from Nick

Quote from Jess

Jess: I don't even really think about it that much. I just think about, you know, passing things. Just... Nothing specific. We live in a house by a lake.
Nick: That sounds pretty specific.
Jess: We live in a town with a sense of history but not so much history that the locals are suspicious of new people. Two small children who are so incredibly creative they named themselves. We don't need to discipline the kids 'cause they're so afraid of disappointing us. Our house smells like cider. And if there's a horse out back, you're not gonna get any guff from me.
