Sarah:Coffee break. Bad time?
Kevin: Yeah. No. A.. A little. Um.. Look at this. It's from Jason.
Sarah: Still e-mailing your ex?
Kevin: I e-mailed him once after the wedding. You know, a very standard, "I'm sorry we broke up," you know, "I still care about you" you know. He e-mails back a very un-standard, "I'm coming home."
Sarah: Oh, my God !
Kevin: I know. He wants to have lunch.
Sarah: When?
Kevin: I don't know. He's being so vague.
Sarah: Are you gonna tell Scotty?
Kevin: Why would I do that?
Sarah: You should.
Kevin: He almost broke up with me after the wedding 'cause he's afraid I'm still into Jason.
Sarah: Well, are you?
Kevin: Well, who made you my conscience? What are you, Jiminy Cricket?
Sarah: Well, you know, maybe you need a conscience. Well, all the men in this family could do with a little cricket on their shoulder.
Kevin: What do you mean, "all the men"?
Sarah: Nothing.
Kevin: Which men? Justin? Tommy? Saul? Who?
Sarah: I don't know anything.

Kevin: I can't believe I have to go to this tonight. How could Tommy be so stupid?
Scotty: Oh, please, let's not judge. I mean, we're accidentally living together. If Jason were to come home tomorrow, I'd be back in my Ranchero.
Kevin: Why... Why would you think Jason's coming... Why would you be back in your Ranchero?
Scotty: I was kidding. Come on, cut your brother some slack. No one's perfect.
Kevin: Well, you know, try and be the perfect family for some Republican operative my mom has the hots for. It's making me a little nervous.
Scotty: You keep saying he's a Republican. I'm far more impressed she might be dating a black man.
Kevin: A black Republican. Only my mom.

Kitty: Robert doesn't want to have children.
Kevin: Wow. A little late for that kind of information.
Robert: Wait. Since we're being honest here, did your boyfriend know that my brother's coming back and you guys are having lunch?
Kevin: That's none of your business.
Sarah: What is going on in here?
Kitty: Sarah, guess what? Robert doesn't want to have children.
Robert: I never said that! I said that I am ambivalent...
Kitty: Keep your voice down!
Robert: ...about the timing, and that's different.
Kevin: Not to me, but I'm a lawyer.
Sarah: I'm with him.
Justin: Guys, what's going on? Mom's freaking out. We're supposed to be impressing Isaac.
Kitty: You know what? I don't need to impress Isaac.
Sarah: No, the thing is, Kitty, that Mom likes him. Like, really likes him.
Kitty: Mom has a crush on Isaac?
Justin: That's gross.
Kevin: Yeah, she does, and if he breaks her heart, I'll sue him.
Robert: Him? What about you? You're about to drag my brother back into your psycho, melodramatic romantic...
Kitty: Shhhhhhhhh.
Kevin: "Psycho, melodramatic"?
Justin: Jason's coming back from Malaysia?
Sarah: Shhh, shhh.
Robert: He's already having a date with him!
Kevin: It's not a date! Okay? We agreed to meet for lunch so we can talk. You know what? I'm allowed to. I'm single. I can change my mind if I want to. Not that I would, okay? So get off my case. I'm not the one who's married.
Robert: What does that mean?
Kitty: What is that supposed to mean?
Justin: Kevin.
Kevin: Nothing.
Sarah: Come on. We can't keep it to ourselves any longer.
Kitty: What?
Kevin: Yes, we can. Shut up.
Scotty: No, what? What?
Kevin: Shut up. Shut...
Justin: No, no, Sarah.
Kitty: What?

Kevin: Hi. Yeah, are you busy? No, no. Look, I... There's just something I want to say. This really is no big deal, and I certainly don't want it to become a big deal. No, no, no. It's not that. Look, Scotty, Jason is coming back. He contacted me. No, no. He e-mailed. Yeah, no. I just... Look, I just thought you should know.

"Start A War" by The National
Kevin & Scotty talk after Kitty's wedding.

Lyrics:
We expected something, something better than before.
We expected something more
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting, lock it up and leave
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting, lock it up and leave
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

Whatever went away I'll get it over now.
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Whatever went away I'll get it over now.
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

We expected something, something better than before.
We expected something more
You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now
You were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

Whatever went away I'll get it over now.
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Whatever went away I'll get it over now.
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war
Walk away now and you're gonna start a war

Kevin: So you must be happy with all of the photographers outside.
Tommy: Are you kidding me? You can't pay for that kind of publicity. So, um you guys back together?
Kevin: You know, we're just in the process of, you know, becoming a "we." Depending on what your definition of "we" is.
Scotty: He's such a romantic.
Kevin: It's not that.

Uncle Jack: Oh, no. Not this putz.
Kevin: Hey, everyone. Uncle Jack. I can call you that, right? Now that we're almost family.
Uncle Jack: I don't think so. No. Come on, troops. Let's go find our spots. Let's go find our places. Come on, kids.
Kevin: Well, that was unpleasant. So just... just be good to Kitty.
Robert: Better than you were to my brother?
Kevin: That's unfair.
Robert: He is half a world away trying to make a difference with his life. He is all alone and you dump him. Now it's none of my business, so I'm just going to get through this. I'm gonna be cordial. And that's what we should do for Kitty's sake.
Kevin: Of course.

Scotty: Any chance I can take another picture?
Kevin: No, you only get one. I can't believe the entire McCallister clan are giving me the cold shoulder. I mean, what did Jason tell them?
Scotty: No idea. Oh, God. Look at what your mom's date wrote. "Stop the erosion of civil rights. Peace and love, Stan."
Kevin: You know, I'm done justifying this breakup.
Scotty: Then don't.
Kevin: Well, why am I the bad guy? You know, I didn't set out to hurt Jason. What... You know, I'm not the only one to blame here. In fact, he's...
Scotty: Okay, enough! Done. Stop. I'm not here as a friend to listen to you endlessly go on about your ex-boyfriend. Because however you define what we are, we're not platonic anymore. And the fact that you're willing to obsess over Jason...
Kevin: I'm not obsessed. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Scotty: I'm gonna take a walk.

♪ Start A War ♪ by The National ♪ Listen
Kevin: I can't believe I made it through that entire wedding sober.
Scotty: You were in lockdown.
Kevin: Yeah, with Stan. Like a new, special kind of torture.
Scotty: Yeah, kind of like being stuck talking to a bunch of relatives you don't know.
Kevin: Yeah, I'm sorry. Look, I was the worst date today.
Scotty: "Date" implies you actually see the person.
Kevin: I know. I just... You know, I didn't know Jason's family were going to get to me like that.
Scotty: Get to you? You were making death threats.
Kevin: Oh, yeah, yeah, do I look like an assassin? You can't get mad at me for being upset at a bunch of people I don't even know, acting like I'm the gay guy who doesn't know how to commit.
Scotty: Then why did you stand there telling everyone we're still trying to define the word "we"?
Kevin: Because you said you wanted to take things slow, Scotty.
Scotty: You're not over him, Kev. At least that's what it feels like to me.
Kevin: Okay, maybe I'm not over Jason completely, but I am getting there. Scotty, I wanna be with you.
Scotty: Me, too. But sometimes just because you want something doesn't mean it's possible.

"This Is Somewhere" (2007)
  
  
"Apologies" by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
Kevin tells Scotty he wants them to get together again


Lyrics:
Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said well what do you expect
You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way

And he said

Oh he said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war

It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it

Who can hold me in his arms
Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze

He said it's crazy

How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies


Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eye and said
I'll always tell you you're my friend
I hope i don't have to lie
Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn right


And he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war

It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That i didn't figure it out before

And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignity
It's time for apologies

"What are the Chances" by Chris Pierce
Kevin & Scotty kiss


Lyrics:
What are the chances,
of running into you
Standing out on the edge,
looking for a clue


Staring home at the stars
waiting for God
to show me the way
to your heart

And here you are

out of the blue
I found you
I found you again

What are the chances, of finding a needle in a haystack
What are the chances, to turn the time back

What are the chances, tell me the truth
What are the chances, of ever finding you

Here you are
here you are
Out of the blue

I found you,again
I found you again

When you lose your faith
and the hope is gone
Never give in you got to carry on

carry on

What are the chances, of finding a needle in a haystack
What are the chances, to turn the time back
What are the chancs, tell me the truth
What are the chances, of ever finding you
