"Important first to say the one big thing, I've only loved three men in my life. My dad was a frosty bugger so that only leaves dear Uncle Desmond, BB King, Obviously, and this young man here. I'd only give one piece of advice to anyone marrying. We're all quite similar in the end. We all get old and tell the same tales too many times. But try and marry someone kind . And this is a kind man with a good heart. I'm not particularly proud of many things in my life, but I am very proud to be the father of my son.」
"No one can ever prepare you for what happens when you have a child. When you see the baby in your arms and you know that it's your job now. No one can prepare you for the love and the fear. No one can prepare you for the love people you love can feel for them. And nothing can prepare you for the indifference of friends you don't have babies. And it's a shock how quickly you have to move to a new place you completely can't afford. Suddenly , time travel seems almost unnecessary, because every detail of life is so delightful."
"The real troubles in your life will always be things that never crossed your worried mind."
"At your wedding he said he loved me. That was the best day of my life. So this is probably the worst."
"Life's a mixed bag, no matter who you are. Look at Jesus. He was the Son of God, for God's sake, and look how that turned out."
"What do you think about the kids?

What?

Well, I mean two?

It's more than the Chinese are allowed.

I just thought that maybe, you know, it was time for the insurance baby.
↓
What?
↓
In case one of them is really smart, we don't want the other one to feel stupid their whole life. And if we had a third one, then we could have two happy dummies."
"What's my prize? Apart from the Olympic gold medal, of course.
↓
A kiss will have to do.
↓
A kiss? A kiss! Oh. I get you. This is it, then?
↓
This is it. It's my last bit of extra time. The baby is completely on the way. Congratulations.
↓
My son.
↓
My dad.」
"The truth is, I now don't travel back at all. Not even for the day. I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day to enjoy it as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life. We're all travelling through time together every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride."
