This Is Us

"Previously onThis Is Us..."

First day of summer, we don't want to be

the last ones in the pool.

Hey, where you going?

Heard the pool closed down.

Just want to check it out before it disappears.

What are you doing?

I hate that I'm doing this over FaceTime,

-and I miss you. -I miss you, too.

36 blissful hours

until I have to listen to the Southwest flight attendants

turn the safety protocol into a parody song again.

If you and Toby need your space, just tell me.

Yeah, Kev, it's...

that's not even our problem right now.

We have a lot more going on than that.

Hey, can you just, can you help me instead of instructing me?

Yeah, Tobe, I can.

I'm here with them every day doing the hard work.

What do you want me to do?

Just not have any opinions about our kids

because you're overly sensitive about everything I say?

We just keep having the same argument over and over again.

You're upset that I'm not around more.

I'm sensitive about that.

Pointed jabs. Rinse and repeat.

Come on, guys, come on. First day of summer,

we don't want to be the last ones in the pool.

And guess what Mom and Dad have for you guys.

Swim goggles!

-I want one. -Yeah?

-Okay. -Come on, come on.

Hey, Bug, you want some goggles?

I want to go on the diving board.

Don't you think we ought to teach you how to swim

-first, Kev? -Yeah, I know

you didn't like taking your swim lessons,

but they helped your brother learn how to swim at the Y.

Guys, I'm gonna touch the drain!

That girl is swimming upside down.

No. She's doing the backstroke.

And you would've learned how to do that, too,

if you stayed in class at the Y.

I want to dive off the diving board

-and touch the drain. -Hey,

once more for the cheap seats.

We got to teach you how to swim first, okay?

There's Mr. Mike. Can I go see him?

-Hey, you got Kate? -Yeah.

I got Kate.

Sweetheart, how about,

we try going in? Yeah?

Yeah, let's take those shoes off. Come on.

-Come on. Baby... -It's too cold.

No, no, no, no, no, but we have to get in first.

It's not gonna be too cold once you get in.

Come on.

Come on, g_ Ow, Kate.

Come on, baby doll.

No? It's fun.

It's nice and warm. Try it.

Ow. You're hurting Mommy. You're hurting me.

Come on. Here. Take my hand. Come on.

Wow.

Can't believe we'll never be back here again.

I know. It feels weird.

Goodbye, pool. Thanks for the memories.

Because of you, pool,

Randall got to see our mother in a bathing suit every summer,

and for that he is forever grateful.

-You're demented. -Ow. You know it's true.

-Hey. -Get help.

I... Where's the brick?

-What brick? -The brick that propped open the door.

-Nice. -Oh...

-Hmm? -This brick?

Great. Great, yeah, so we're locked in?

Oh, God, yeah, so this is how

my obituary will read-- um...

"Sunny Delight poster boy, valedictorian

and 'other' die trapped in pool."

No, come on, Kate. You know they're gonna mention

the fact I got cut out of Days of Our Lives.

-Stop. -Ah.

Can you not hit me?

Hey, hey, hey; Can we look for another way out?

Come on.

How is this my life?

I need you all to hear my voice right now.

Your mother's voice with all of her faculties.

You will not make your lives smaller because of me.

This thing that's happening to me

will not be the thing that holds you back.

So, take the risks.

Make the big moves,

even if they're small moves.

Forge ahead with your lives

in any and every direction that moves you.

I'm your mother,

and I'm sick,

and I'm asking you to be fearless.

Safe travels, siblings.

Okay, we'll see you guys in L.A.

for Mom and Mig's anniversary party.

-All right, you ready? -Yeah.

Hey, Tobe.

We can't sustain this,

living in two different cities,

so I'd like to go to San Francisco

with you for the weekend.

-See how it feels. -Really?

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, I'd like that.

Okay.

I'm really excited for this weekend.

I know. Me, too. Only four more days till you come see me.

A whole weekend just you and me.

-When's the last time we did that? -I don't know. One, two...

three lifetimes ago, at least.

Oh, man, I am so excited.

Oh, you know what, I got to run

All right, babies, I love you so much.

I'll see you soon. Be good to Mommy, okay?

You say bye to Daddy?

-Bye, babies. I love you. -Bye.

-Bye. -Bye. -Bye.

-Love you. Bye. -Bye. Love you. -Love you.

Okay. Oh, 9:25. It's time to go to the park.

-Park. -Yay, we're going to the park.

And then what are we gonna do?

Then we make a turn to the...

-Left. -The left. Exactly.

You just wrote your first song, Courtney.

Is that silly?

Can we do it? Can we do it?

You know what? Stop putting me in your dumb songs

if I'm not getting a writer's cut.

Come on, you're part of the neighborhood.

You're a part of the song.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Slow down, bud. Slow down.

Thank you. Thank you, Kate.

You made an old gal feel very special.

Oh, good.

-Thank you. -Yes.

Aren't you gonna have some, too?

No, I'm good. I'm just gonna have some water.

...sensitive side, then you turn into a total ass.

Is that a pretty accurate description

of our relationship, Tyler?

So, Edward Norton

was just imagining Brad Pitt

the entire time?

Are you just now realizing that?

We've seen this, like, 18 times.

It's just so much shirtless Brad Pitt.

-I get distracted. -No, I...

Fair. Fair.

You know what's funny? Um...

Sometimes, I...

imagine hanging out with Old Toby.

"Old Toby"?

Yeah. You know, who he was

before he lost all the weight at the gym

and got his fancy job and better clothes.

I guess Old Toby's like my Tyler Durden.

I-I know that sounds crazy.

You guys just need a good weekend.

Yeah. We do.

You're right. Which is why I'm just...

I'm gonna go to the Bay to be with my bae,

you know, with an open heart and mind.

Old Toby is still in there.

Go find him.

Yeah. Okay.

Hey, babe. Don't worry,

I'm already packed and leaving on time.

-Miracles do exist. -There's a,

there's a, uh, slight hitch in our giddy-up.

Okay, my-my meeting for my Tokyo project got rescheduled,

so I won't be able to be at the airport,

so I-I booked you the finest electric vehicle

that San Francisco has to offer to pick you up,

and I am... I am, uh, hustling here

to make sure I can get back to the apartment

to personally roll out the red carpet for you myself.

No worries; We have the whole weekend.

Oh, I know it, Kate. I am very excited.

I have made plans. I've made so many plans,

my plans have plans.

Listen, I'm gonna try and clear my plate here.

Uh, I'm gonna text you the guy's info.

I'll leave my phone on, in case there are any problems,

and I hope you have a safe flight.
