Season 6, Episode 13 -  Aired March 31, 2020

Moira receives some surprising news. Meanwhile, David reconsiders his decision to move to New York.

Quote from Patrick

David: So that's why you were so reluctant to move.
Patrick: It's just hard to picture living someplace you've never even visited. And I always thought you didn't like New York.
David: Um, no, uh, I love New York. It was just a weird time in my life. But I don't want you moving somewhere that you're not excited about.
Patrick: I'm excited to be with you. And there are some pros to being there. I mean, it would open the business up to a much larger market. I'd finally get to see a game at Yankee Stadium.
David: Yeah, and by then you'll have met some people that would go and do that with you.
Patrick: It's gonna be a tough goodbye. This is where we started our life together.

Quote from Moira

Moira: [on the phone] Oh, Bev, I'm sorry I missed you, but I'm so happy I got your voicemail! Wondering when you might be getatable for a little red biddy, little back chat? Hm? Oh, and we're moving to New York. I just thought it was time. Ciao. [hangs up]
Johnny: Don't tell me you're having lunch with Bev after all this.
Moira: Imagine? No, I amputated those people years ago. But Bev and her big bazoo will get the word out quicker than any group memorandum.

Quote from Johnny

Johnny: Would you look at this family? Alexis, pursuing a career in PR. David, expanding his business. Moira, I have no doubt Broadway will be calling, or maybe a pledge drive on PBS.
Moira: [chuckles] Oh, you are sweet.
Johnny: I say we do something as a family tonight. Maybe cook a little something?
Alexis: No. I don't think that's a good idea.
David: Absolutely not.
Johnny: I mean, look around, family. This won't be our home for too much longer. [silence] So let's celebrate. Picture. Let's raise those glasses. David? You don't have to look quite so morose. You're with your family. [camera clicks] Ah, now that's a framer. [laughs, phone sounds]
Alexis: You just deleted it.
Johnny: What's that?

Quote from Johnny

Moira: Is it just me, John, or does the air not have a particularly lovely redolence today.
Johnny: Oh.
Moira: Do I detect a scintilla of lavender?
Johnny: Isn't it funny how the air suddenly smells sweeter now that you know we're leaving. Still doesn't feel real.

Quote from Moira

Jocelyn: I went to the spa. Had a pedicure and a blow-out, at the same time. [laughs] I'm surprised I didn't see you there, Moira, celebrating your big Sunrise Bay news.
Moira: And what would that communiqué entail?
Jocelyn: The reboot! Don't tell me I'm the first person to congratulate you!
Moira: So it's a go. Um, no, uh, unfortunately, I won't be participating in that little vanity project. Best to keep ones gaze on the horizon, not the posterior view.

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: Twy, you might be the best person I know, but as someone who has had a lot of money and then not had it and now is like still pretty poor, but somewhat okay? Every now and again, spending like a little bit of money on something really special, it might not buy you happiness, but... it can definitely help make you smile.
Twyla: This cute dress makes me smile.
Alexis: Hm. Not quite sure how that one got in there. But anything else in there is yours if you want it.

Quote from Twyla

Jocelyn: No, she's right, Moira, they'd be lucky to have you on their two-bit show.
Twyla: Yeah, and reboots are never as good as the original.
Moira: Well, aren't you a wolf pack by which any gal would be so lucky to be protected. But it's time for this pup to disperse to new territory. Sunrise Bay called with an irresistible offer.
Twyla: That's great, Mrs. Rose. I mean, who doesn't love a reboot.

Quote from Stevie

Stevie: Can I ask you a question?
David: Yes.
Stevie: What is it about New York?
David: I have big dreams.
Stevie: And you can't have those dreams here?
David: And some friends left there.
Stevie: The "friends" who you invited to the wedding?
David: To name a few, yes.
Stevie: David, they're not coming. Apparently there was an electronic music festival in Norway that took priority. Why do you wanna go back to a place that's done nothing but hurt your feelings?
David: Because I want those people to know that I'm not a joke. And that I've won.
Stevie: David, look at this place. You've won. And on a personal note, I don't want you to leave me here, okay?

Quote from Moira

Alexis: Okay. So what are the plans for tonight? Because I might be meeting Twy for a drink.
Johnny: Well, I thought we'd all stay in tonight, and enjoy the pizza and play charades?
Moira: Charades. I'm going to have to gracefully bow out. I don't think you can afford my quote anymore.

Quote from Moira

David: So when are you leaving?
Moira: September 3rd.
David: That's my wedding day.
Moira: And we're tied to the third?
Johnny: Oh, Moira...
David: Am I tied to the third?
Johnny: Of course you're getting married on the third, David. Moira, we can leave first thing the next morning.
Moira: Yes. We will, John. It's just worth noting that the lie-flat seats were only on the evening flight.
