Quote from Jay

Manny: What if I fall out?
Gloria: I will catch you.
Jay: That's not possible. He would crush you.
Manny: What if I throw up?
Gloria: I will clean it up. It wouldn't be the first time.
Jay: Geez, these are new shoes.

Quote from Jay

Gloria: Vamos, Jay.
Jay: No, I'm not going on that. That's bad for my back.
Gloria: Your back is fine.
Jay: I got an inner-ear thing.
Gloria: Oh, please. Don't tell me you're scared too.
Jay: Scared? What is this "scared" stuff? What am I, a child? I'm not scared.
Gloria: You see? You're the worst liar.
Manny: Well, if he's not going, I'm not going.
Gloria: Oh, for God's sake, fine! I'll go alone. Here. Take my girlie purse and you my floppy hat, and if you need it, there's the ladies' room.
Manny: I'm not man enough to fight this. Here. Hold my purse.
Jay: Oh, hell!

Quote from Claire

Alex: What's taking them so long?
Claire: I don't know. The only reason I'm not panicking is I haven't seen a giant geyser.

Quote from Alex

Claire: You know, honey, I think I know why you don't wanna go tonight.
Alex: Because school dances are lame?
Claire: No. 'Cause you don't know how to dance.
Alex: That's not it.
Claire: I can help you with that. Come on. Come on.
Alex: Oh, God, no. No, Mom.
Claire: Oh, yeah. Back in the day, I was quite the dancer. [dance]s
Alex: Oh, my God. You and Dad together suddenly makes so much sense.

Quote from Alex

Alex: Please, stop. I know how to dance. I just don't wanna be part of that freak show.
Claire: Sweetheart, you're a beautiful girl. Someone will ask you to dance.
Alex: I know that. It's just stupid.
Claire: Somebody will ask you.
Alex: Why do you keep saying that?
Claire: Somebody will ask you.
Alex: But what if they don't?
Claire: Honey, if they don't, then you do the exact same thing I told your sister, okay? Take three deep breaths and relax.
Alex: Even the advice I get is a hand-me-down.

Quote from Haley

Haley: Mom, I did it! I passed!
Claire: Oh!
Alex: Oh, my God!
Haley: I got my license!
Claire: Congratulations!
Haley: I have my license! I got my license!
Claire: Car's not in "park."
Haley: Oh. Oops. [brake lever clicks]
Claire: You better run to that counter.
Alex: Go. Right now.
Claire: Run! Run!

Quote from Phil

Phil: What the heck. We're down here. Why don't we see what we got, huh?
Luke: Yeah.
Phil: Two intrepid explorers make their way on a journey- [both scream]
Luke: Dead bodies! [screaming]
[aside to camera:]
Phil: We called the police and got a bunch of detectives over. Turns out it was the last owner's Halloween decorations, which is pretty funny. Least I thought it was.

Quote from Mitchell

Cameron: When you squeeze the doll, it says "Mommy."
Mitchell: Did-Did you know that-
Cameron: Not a clue.
Mitchell: The doll says "Mommy."
Cameron: The doll says "Mommy."
Mitchell: The doll says "Mommy."
