‘Do You Believe In Magic’

Season 8, Episode 12 -  Aired February 8, 2017

Phil worries that the romance between him and Claire is fizzling out, so he calls upon his alter ego, Clive Bixby. Gloria is unhappy that Jay seems proud of Joe's inappropriate Valentine's Day gift-giving. Cameron and Mitchell try to support the women in their lives to stand up for themselves, but their advice to Lily, Haley and Sal just lands them in trouble.

Quote from Claire

Phil: Do I know that guy in the cloak?
Claire: Ah, hinge specialist. You might've seen him around. He's the guy for offbeat swivels and rare-beveled hook joints.
Phil: I find everything you just said very titila-
Claire: Shh.
Phil: [gasps]

Quote from Mitchell

Haley: We need to leave.
Mitchell: No, you got to go confront him.
Haley: I'm upset. I've had a couple drinks.
Mitchell: Okay. So, what's it like touring the world with other Canadian acrobats?
Haley: What?
Cameron: We just assumed you were a member of Cirque du Soleil.
Mitchell: Yup, because you're bending over backwards to avoid standing up for yourself.
Cameron: And setting a good example [together] for other women.
Haley: You both were thinking that?
Both: Mm-hmm.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: [answering phone] It's Lily. Hey, honey. Is everything okay? [to Cameron] Jagger was very hurt by our speech. She didn't answer his texts 'cause we told her not to.
Cameron: Good.
Mitchell: He ran away.
Cameron: He did?
Mitchell: People are forming a human chain to search for him in the woods. Okay, honey, well, we'll be home soon, all right?
Cameron: Do you think we have some responsibility in this Jagger situation?
Mitchell: Ah... No. No. They they chose to build near the woods.

Quote from Mitchell

Rainer Shine: You guys, where's Haley?
Mitchell: Um, she is on a boat in the marina, putting you in her rearview mirror. Boats have those, don't they?
Cameron: I think so.

Quote from Mitchell

Rainer Shine: You guys, I was only letting that woman think we were on a date because she runs a celebrity site that buys photos from paparazzi, okay? I was trying to get one of me back because Haley is in it and this is the photo.
Mitchell: No. God, no.
Cameron: Oh, my gosh. Bedhead, sneeze face, and UGG slippers?
Rainer Shine: And now Haley's not answering my calls and somehow I'm supposed to smile through a weather report in 15 minutes? Pull yourself together, Rainer. You're a weatherman. [exits]
Cameron: Do you think our advice-
Mitchell: Sucked? Yes. Yes. We need to get to that boat before Haley hooks up with Dylan.
Cameron: She wouldn't do something that stupid.
Mitchell: Did you see the UGGs?

Quote from Jay

Jay: Is that Bailey? 'Cause I think Joe has a little thing for her.
Gloria: Yeah, he did have a little thing for her. It's here. He did it again. I knew I shouldn't have trusted you talking to him, because you will let him get away with murder because he's a mini you and you like it. And you know what's worse? That you're so mean to Manny because he's different than you.
Jay: First off, Joe is not a mini me.
Joe: Crap. Crapola. Crapinski.
Jay: Well, maybe a little, and maybe I kind of like it. But why would you want to knock the Jay out of Joe? Instead of one trophy, you get two.

Quote from Sal

Sal: Cameron, Mitchell, what a pleasant surprise.
Mitchell: Sal, you okay? You seem not yourself.
Cameron: Yeah, I feel like you used to blink.
Sal: I took your advice. Called Werner. Told him I wasn't going to settle.
Mitchell: How did that- [glass shatters] How how did that go?
Sal: He was thinking that we might be something special, and then I gave him the ultimatum, and he said, "Maybe we're not actually meant to be."
Mitchell: I don't know what's happening. S-Sal, w-what are you doing? Straightening up.
Sal: You know, a place for everything-
Mitchell: No.
Sal: Everything in its place.
Haley: Hey, what about this?
Sal: This was actually salvaged from the Bismarck. [kicks it into the sea]

Quote from Cameron

Sal: Give it to me!
Cameron: No!
Sal: Aah! [water splashes]
Mitchell: Oh, my God. Did she fall in?
Cameron: [holding the Tony award] No. I've got her right here.

Quote from Sal

Sal: That cold water woke me up to the hard truth I'm smart, I'm beautiful, I'm legendary in bed,
Cameron: Okay.
Sal: Yet I do settle. I mean, Werner is not good enough for me. I mean, I get why you two idiots settled. This is the best you're gonna do, right here. You're perfectly matched.
Both: Aww.
Cameron: Well, it's kind of sweet when you look at it that way.
Mitchell: Yeah. We are very lucky.
Cameron: Happy Valentine's Day.
Mitchell: Yeah, happy Valentine's Day.
Sal: Shut up. Read a room, poofs.

Quote from Phil

Waitress: So, just yourself?
Phil: Uh, no, I'll be meeting my wife tonight.
Waitress: [laughs] That's the spirit.
