‘Express Yourself’

Season 7, Episode 17 -  Aired March 23, 2016

Phil surprises an over-worked Claire with an impromptu trip to Paris, but they must stay awake all night so they can sleep on the plane. Gloria is angry at the household disruption causes by Jay's remodeling of their bathroom. Cameron's sister, Pam, is staying at the house since her husband left her, but Mitchell worries her views on men are setting a bad example for Lily. Meanwhile, Haley and Andy have a wild night out together.

Quote from Jay

Mitchell: You know what, Dad? You have been really bossy tonight. With me, with that waitress. I-I bet that's why you and Gloria are having problems. Yeah. You miss bossing people around at work, so now you're doing it at home.
Jay: If I admitted there was some truth in that, could you just give in? You've been grinding around like Lola Falana.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: I don't know why this is so important to you.
Jay: Can you just let me help you?!
Mitchell: Okay, I'm doing this, but only because you need it so much. [singing] Come on, girls! Do you believe in love? 'Cause I got something to say about it. And it goes something like this. Don't go for second best, baby Put your love to the test You know, you know...

Quote from Jay

Jay: [aside to camera] Watching Mitchell, I did feel kind of good about fixing his problem. Now, being retired, you don't always feel useful anymore. It's probably why I keep tearing up that bathroom. I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing to admit to Gloria. Eh, it'll probably blow over.

Quote from Andy

Andy: Gambling is the best! You hand your hard-earned money to strangers and pray it comes back.

Quote from Pam

Cameron: Pameron Jessica Tucker, where do you think you're going?
Pam: Home. To get down on my knees and beg Bo to come back. I'm just gonna lie and tell him I'm pregnant.

Quote from Lily

Cameron: You really want Lily to think women are weak?!
Lily: Get off my daddy! You're acting this crazy all over a boy?!
Cameron: Oh, Lily, I'm so happy to hear you say that! Now, pull Aunt Pameron's bra strap!

Quote from Andy

Haley: Wow, this is more reading than I did in my three years at a two-year college.
Andy: I'm thinking chili dog, just like Pops - may he rest in peace - bought me at my first baseball game. May I be frank? We have a wiener.
Haley: Oh, that's so weirdly sweet. And it's so cute how your hair never moves. It's like a LEGO.
