Quotes 

• Miguel Rivas : Rebecca, I spent the last 8 years wondering if I made the right decision. I have replayed it over and over in my head, and I had to leave. I never felt like I belonged. Puerto Rico or America, English or Spanish. I never felt at home anywhere. If I'm being honest, the first time I ever felt homesick in my life was when I left you on that porch.

• Interviewer : You speak Spanish?

  Miguel Rivas : Yes. I do.

  Interviewer : I won't pretend it isn't helpful. Many of the new guys barely speak a word of English. You're hired. When you can you start?

  Miguel Rivas : Right away. Oh, and it's Miguel. Miguel Rivas. I sent in two resumes, but Miguel's never got any response.

• Miguel Rivas : I have failed at everything else in my life. My parents. Shelley. I haven't seen my son in five years. But I made a vow.

  Kate Pearson : We're not doubting your love for her...

  Miguel Rivas : She wakes up every morning at 6:45 and I am the first thing she sees. It grounds her. It grounds me. I won't leave her side.

• Miguel Rivas : We never talk about him. Sometimes I wonder what he'd think of all this.

  Rebecca Pearson : I wonder too. All the time I've spent thinking about this.

  Miguel Rivas : And?

  Rebecca Pearson : I think he'd want what's best for us, his two favorite people who he once left alone in a bar until they became friends.
