‘A Hard Jay's Night’

Season 5, Episode 19 -  Aired April 2, 2014

Mitchell tries to put on a brave face when Cameron takes receipt of an unflattering wedding topper that his father whittled out of soap for them. Phil and Gloria spend the day at her old neighborhood salon as he tries to sell her old apartment. Meanwhile, Claire knows better than to expect a thank you from Jay for filling in for him at work.

Quote from Jay

Mitchell: This is my worst nightmare.
Jay: You shouldn't have blown through those vetoes.
Mitchell: This is how Cam's dad sees me, like some fawning damsel.
Jay: If anything, Cam's the damsel.
Mitchell: Dad! Thank you.
Jay: A lot can happen before the big day.
Mitchell: Believe me, I've already tried. That thing is indestructible.
Jay: What if it went missing? Things disappear around here all the time.
Mitchell: Do they?
Jay: All the time. Let's just say I have a friend who helps me in these kinds of situations.
Mitchell: I'm listening.
Jay: The less you know, the better.
Mitchell: I'm not listening.
Jay: We never had this conversation. This is a non-versation.
Mitchell: Right. I am giving you the no-ahead. [Jay's gone]

Quote from Gloria

Gloria: Oh, I miss you girls. Nobody in my white family thinks that I am funny.

Quote from Phil

Phil: Honey, Hector had a life before he met you.
Luisa: So I have to eat dinner with his ex?
Phil: Well, you certainly don't want him going alone. Not with his history. Hey. Who are you really mad at?
Luisa: Ay, I don't know.
Phil: Come on, Luisa.
Luisa: Raul! Hector's going to hurt me just like Raul did!
Phil: There it is. But Hector isn't Raul, okay? They're just cousins.

Quote from Phil

Phil: Something's not right.
Anna: What? What happened?
Phil: No, no, no, not with you. You look great. You know who's gonna hate this, is a certain jealous sister. Cinco de my, oh, my.

Quote from Manny

Haley: How am I supposed to do this with so many I's on my rack?
Manny: Oh! Sorry.

Quote from Alex

Alex: Where's Luke? How long does it take him to get the dictionary? We described it for him perfectly.
Manny: Wait a minute. He's not coming back.
Alex: Ugh. Move your S.
Manny: I-I'm going as fast as I can.

Quote from Mitchell

Lily: I saw Stella playing with it.
Cameron: What?
Jay: Oh, look at her. She's all muddy. She must have brought it outside and buried it. She does it all the time!
Cameron: Oh, no. We have to go find it.
Jay: Good luck. That thing's as good as gone.
Mitchell: Dang it! Oh! And the worst part is, we don't even have a picture of it. Do we?

Quote from Jay

Cameron: Okay, we can't give up. Let's go out into the yard and look for it.
Jay: Careful. I wouldn't come between Stella and anything she's buried. She's a wild animal. No telling what she'll do. [Stella's sprawled out on the floor] That's a very aggressive stance.

Quote from Claire

Jay: Hand me that ladle, huh? What are you doing? I got it.
Claire: What do you say?
Jay: What?
Claire: What do you say when somebody does something for you? What do you say?
Jay: You want me to thank you for handing me a ladle?
Claire: You thanked the dog for staying, which is basically doing nothing, so I know you know the words.
Jay: Fine. Thank you for handling me the ladle.

Quote from Claire

Haley: Approval comes from within.
Claire: Thank you.
Jay: Your sauce needs garlic.
[Haley and Alex restrain Claire]
Haley: Okay.
Alex: Okay.
