Best Lines of the Week (February 10-16): ‘Women Don’t Get to Make Mistakes’
One Day at a Time (Netflix)
Elena: There’s Tia Pilar. I’ve always wondered if she was gay.
Lydia: Elena, you think everyone is gay. Pilar is just eccentric. She rides a motorcycle. She owns seven cats. She shares a one-bedroom apartment with her long-time roommate, Susan. How is that gay?
— Elena (Isabella Gomez) tries to figure out if her Tia Pilar (Stephanie Beatriz) is gay, but Lydia (Rita Moreno) shuts her down.
Manifest (NBC)
Zeke: I’m not like that guy you’ve got holed up Michaela. I need you to believe in me. I think I came back here for a reason, too. And I’m just trying to figure out what that is.
— Zeke (Matt Long) and Michaela (Melissa Roxbourgh) have an emotional conversation about trusting each other.
American Housewife (ABC)

— Katie (Katy Mixon) to her daughter, Taylor (Meg Donnelly), when Taylor mentions that she should try on some fashionable footwear.
This Is Us (NBC)

Man With A Plan (CBS)
Adam: Alright, so all we have left is the backsplash?
Andi: Yeah, yeah. I’m thinking let’s blow people’s mind with this gorgeous Peruvian tile.
Adam: Eh, that stuff’s expensive. I’m thinking something a little less Peruvian, a little more Home Depot-vian.
— Adam (Matt LeBlanc) and Andi (Liza Snyder) disagreeing on the final touches of the first home that they are flipping together.

— Casey (Chloe Wepper) comes to the realization that sexism in her workplace is a major issue.

The Other Two (Comedy Central)
