What they’re saying

“It's easy to get up on that rollercoaster isn't it, and get carried away but it will come back because I know. I know how many times they've pulled him out of the sh*t. I know how many times they've absolutely stood by him through thick and thin.”

“Victoria's got a great sense of humor. She can bat that sh*t away in a heartbeat. I just want Brooklyn to just a moment to yourself and just remember, you're half mom and half dad and you're an amazing man but boy, they've done more for you than anyone will do in your entire life. [Including] any father-in-law, let me tell you.”
