Quote from Jay in White Christmas
Jay: Gloria and I have been talking about this for a while. What with Joe getting older, I feel it's just the right time to start a new chapter, which is why I've decided... to retire. Mitchell: Oh, my. Cameron: What?! Jay: Well, maybe "retired" is the wrong word. More of a transition. So, when people ask, "where's Jay Pritchett?" You tell them, "he's transitioning." Mitchell: Mm. Jay: Okay, I heard it, too. Let's go back to retiring.
