Nick Quote #663
Quote from Nick in Mars Landing
Jess: Here's what I'm saying: Reginald is way too shy to beg for an education. He's very sensitive, and when he's out on the horse, all he's doing is staring at leaves and writing poems about them.
Nick: Why do I have a horse? You know how many people are killed on a horse every year?
Jess: Hey! You're not listening to what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, I'm not gonna take Reginald out on the damn lake when you're out on your space truck.
Nick: We're not living by the lake. Why would I spend my hard-earned truck driver money on an Earth house?

‘Mars Landing’ Quotes
Quote from Nick
Nick: I always thought it would be cool to be a long-haul trucker.
Jess: You want to be a long-haul trucker with a family?
Nick: No, the family would be in Montana. Or-or Mars Landing, you know, if the government finally steps up.
Jess: Where is Mars Landing?
Nick: Where is Mars Landing? It's on M... It's on Mars. It's the American capital of Mars. And if you don't think there's gonna be space travel in the next 20 years, then you've got your head buried in sand, girlie. It's already basically happening.
Quote from Nick
Jess: I always thought I'd move back to Portland.
Nick: Oh. Portland, Earth?
Jess: It's like friendly San Francisco. Slow food, fast bicycles, great schools...
Nick: Education is very important to me.
Jess: That makes me happy. It's something we agree on.
Nick: I really want my kids to beg for it.
Jess: What?
Nick: 'Cause if you force a kid into school, he's gonna hate it.
Jess: Oh, no.
Nick: If you make a kid work and sit in the yard and grind and grind and grind...
Jess: What?
Nick: Eventually, that little kid is gonna beg for education. Then you hand it to them like the gift that it should be.
Jess: No!
Nick: That's why public school's a joke.
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.
