Quote from Claire

Claire: Can I get a scotch and a white wine? Wow, rowdy crowd, huh?
Bartender: Trade shows - people get away from their families, get a little liquored up.
Claire: Yeah, I get that.
Bartender: Let's just say when the nametags go on, the wedding rings come off.
Claire: I am not so on board with that.

Quote from Alex

Haley: Stalker!
Alex: Trollop.
Haley: Ha-ha, don't know what it means!

Quote from Cameron

Grams: Who's this?
Barb: Oh, dear.
Cameron: Uh... Well, grams, this is Bud, our new farmhand.
Mitchell: Bud?
Cameron: Yeah, Bud's a little simpleminded on account of getting mule-kicked, isn't he? And you know the rules on being in the house, Bud. Now, go on outside. We're gonna milk the cows in a few minutes. Get on out there. Have a treat afterwards.

Quote from Luke

Phil: Dad, you've got three good men here depending on you.
Frank: [over video chat] Say no more. I'm gonna tap a button now that's either gonna make you larger on my screen or-
Luke: We've lost Florida.

Quote from Claire

Jay: Hey, honey. I thought we were meeting at the restaurant.
Claire: Yeah, well, the lecture got done a little early, and I was kind of the star of the evening.I got a huge laugh when I coined the phrase "shelf-esteem." Huh? Yeah? Okay, I'll text it to Phil.

Quote from Claire

Jay: Claire, this is Rita.
Rita: Your dad and I go way back. First time we met, I told him he needed a course in "hanger" management.
Jay: It's still funny.
Claire: Seriously?

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: I'm done. I'm done.
Cameron: Come on. Please, just be Bud for a couple days. You can do some chores, maybe I can berate you a little bit to really sell it.
Mitchell: Do you hear how insane you sound? Chores?

Quote from Phil

Luke: Oh, this is useless.
Phil: Hey, I don't want to hear talk like that. If you want inspiration, think about Apollo 13. Jay didn't give up when he first put together this model. It was hard and complicated, and back then, the print on the instructions was tiny, but he persevered.
Manny: Also, the astronauts on the actual Apollo 13 didn't give up when their actual lives were in danger.
Phil: Them, too, but they had a lot of other people helping them out. We're on our own here.

Quote from Phil

Manny: Why are we making ourselves crazy, Phil?
Phil: I don't know. I just hate disappointing Jay so much.
Manny: He is not an easy guy to please.
Phil: I know, but when you do, it's pretty sweet, ain't it?
Manny: Sure is.
Phil: You're lucky to have a dad like that.
Frank: [over video chat] Hard not to be hurt by that, son.

Quote from Alex

Haley: How have I never noticed how loud you breathe?
Alex: Aw, don't beat yourself up. That'd require you to notice something that isn't about you.
