In anticipation of the third series of Apple TV's comedy series Trying, I've been rewatching this wonderful show and collecting the quotable moments, which are often and many. I've whittled down the best of each episode and am sharing them here with you (and me, when I look back on this in future).

In case you're not aware of the show, Nikki and Jason want to start a family but it's not going to plan.


Picnic in the park:

Nikki: Let’s see what we’ve got then. Crisps?

Jason: Yep.

Nikki: And 7Up?

Jason: Lovely.

Nikki: It’s a support group, not a sleepover.


Specialist subject:

Nikki: Oh god, we’re competing against the cream here, Jase.

Jason: Yea, maybe we should just move to a shittier borough, hey?

Nikki: Yea, maybe. I mean, that Ben man talked to me about American politics for 30 minutes. I couldn’t talk about any politics for 30 minutes. Well, not unless I talked really, really slowly.


Different approaches:

Jen: Sort of think it can’t be that hard if Madonna did it. Nikki: No, I don’t think she went through the council. She sort of went direct.


All you need to know about baby books:

Erica: Don’t worry too much about reading all of these. It’s 80% making sure you’ve got wet wipes.


New experiences:

Nikki: I booked us tickets to a lecture.

Jason: On purpose?

[Later]

Jason: How long is it?

Nikki: It’s about, I don’t know, 400 pages.

Jason: No, I mean the lecture.

Nikki: It’s one hour. Then another hour.

Jason: Mate.

Nikki: It’s just twenty minutes after that.
