‘Diamond in the Rough’
Season 4, Episode 10 - Aired December 12, 2012
As Claire and Cameron work together to make a baseball field for Manny and Luke's team, they have the idea of teaming up to try and flip a house. Mitchell and Phil want to put a stop to that idea, although Phil is reluctant to be seen as the bad guy. Meanwhile, Gloria uses a microphone to talk to her unborn child.
Quote from Cameron
Claire: Dumb! Dumb rock!
Cameron: Are you cryin'?
Claire: No. No. I just can't get this rock to budge.
Cameron: Okay, what did we learn from "A League of Their Own"?
Claire: No crying in baseball.
Cameron: No. That Madonna's a lousy actress, and so are you.
Quote from Cameron
Cameron: Look, I'm sorry Mitchell killed our house dream. You know, now especially that I know you wanted to use the money for such noble reasons.
Claire: Yeah. And also there was this pair of boots.
Cameron: There's always a pair of boots.
Quote from Mitchell
Cameron: Mitchell, do you know what I've realized?
Claire: That some thoughts are better left unexpressed?
Cameron: No. That in this relationship, I'm the gas pedal, and you're the brakes.
Mitchell: Okay, wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Last week, you said that you were the painting and I was the frame.
Cameron: That's if we were artwork. This is if we were a car.
Mitchell: I know what part you'd be if we were a horse.
Quote from Cameron
Cameron: [on the phone] You know, I knew that sweater wasn't stolen. And here I pick blue yarn to match your eyes, but I should've picked black to match your heart. Although you look amazing in black. Damn you.
Quote from Jay
Jay: "Leaving 17 dead and thousands without power."
Gloria: Ay, Jay, please! It's bad that the baby listens to such terrible things.
Jay: He's heard worse.
Quote from Jay
Gloria: Jay, I don't want our baby to think that it's coming into an unhappy home. Let's promise that we're never ever going to fight in front of him.
Jay: No fighting in front of the baby.
Gloria: Okay, good. [singing] Twinkle, twinkle little lamb-
Jay: Gloria, stop it! Stop it. No more singing.
Gloria: Why?
Jay: Because you stink. You're a terrible singer. Come on. Let's get some lunch.
Quote from Mitchell
Mitchell: Claire and Cam did all this?
Phil: A week ago, that was all junk.
Mitchell: It's amazing. I mean, there's that little bump in the middle. But other than that...
Quote from Phil
Phil: Wow. This this is incredible. You literally saw a diamond in the rough.
Claire: Yeah, but I take on a lot of projects no one else is willing to.
Phil: I deserve that. I was an idiot for doubting you. Please, honey, forgive me.
Claire: How could I not, when you give me this bouquet of crumpled flowers?
Phil: Mitchell did that!
Claire: Mitchell again?
Phil: Ask Lily!
Quote from Mitchell
Mitchell: Hey, Cam.
Cameron: Hey.
Mitchell: Here you-
Cameron: Okay. Well... Oh, wow. Broken and mangled, just like my heart.
Mitchell: Cam, I'm sorry for not supporting you.
Cameron: What about the sweater?
Mitchell: That's unforgivable. I mean, you put all that time and work into it, and I just toss it out the car window.
Cameron: Tossed it out the car window?!
Mitchell: I'm forgetting how much you knew.
Quote from Jay
Phil: No, I do mean it. I think you two will do a fantastic job.
Mitchell: You know, I do, too. I'm on board.
Jay: On board for what?
Cameron: Oh, well, the four of us, uh, might go in on a house. Claire and I fix it up and flip it.
Jay: That's the worst idea I ever heard. You guys know nothing about construction. You'll make all sorts of mistakes, you'll turn on each other, you'll stop talking, and suddenly I'm doing two dinners a week instead of one because you can't be in the same room. Family and business doesn't mix. Ah, you're gonna do whatever you want. Why do I bother?
