‘Fizbo’
Season 1, Episode 9 - Aired November 25, 2009
As Phil and Claire pull out all the stops to throw an epic birthday party for Luke, Cameron dusts off his old clown costume.
Quote from Mitchell
Cameron: No clown? No- No clown?
Mitchell: Let it go.
Cameron: Who throws a party without a clown?
Mitchell: Since the late '30s, I'd say most people.
Quote from Jay
Jay: Hey, pal, how's it going?
Manny: Am I charming?
Jay: Oh, boy.
Quote from Jay
Manny: I've tried everything to get her attention- opening doors, having a milk sent over in the cafeteria. Nothing's worked.
Jay: Here's the deal. Girls don't go for all that romantic stuff. They go for power and success. And since you don't have either one of those things, you're gonna be the funny guy.
Quote from Cameron
Cameron: [aside to camera] I couldn't get Luke out of my mind. I know I made a promise to Mitchell, but some things are bigger than promises. Fizbo would be at that party.
Quote from Claire
Claire: Sweetie, that's a rock wall. Is that even safe? Oh, my God.
Phil: Honey, relax. Hey, has anyone ever gotten hurt on one of these things?
Operator: I don't know, man. It's my first day.
Phil: See? They wouldn't let the new guy do it if it-
Claire: That did not make me feel better.
Quote from Phil
Phil: So, what you got there?
Claire: Oh. These are supplies for the crafts table. I finally figured out what we're gonna be making.
Phil: Kids bored? [chuckles] I'm teasing. I'm teasing. It looks good. What is it?
Claire: Comb sheaths. I know. I know. But we made them when I was 11 years old at Donna Rigby's birthday party. At first we thought it was really stupid, and then we had a blast, so...
Phil: How could you not? You combined the two things that kids love the most: combs and sheaths. I'm kidding!
Quote from Luke
Phil: Hey, buddy, you having fun?
Luke: Yeah. And I love my new belt.
Quote from Phil
Claire: Hey, Luke. Look. Do you wanna make a comb sheath?
Luke: A what?
Claire: It's a cool leather holder for your comb. And you can decorate it. I've got beads and glitter and all kinds of stuff. Do you want to?
Luke: Nah. I'm gonna do the rock wall.
Claire: Okay, honey. It's your day.
Phil: Honey, let me know if you get low on supplies. I'll make a quick run back to the 1950s for you. [kid yells] Oh! Again? Seriously, zip-line guys, use some ropes.
Quote from Manny
Manny: That's her- Bianca Douglas.
Gloria: She's so cute.
Manny: She has good handwriting. She's a complete package.
Quote from Gloria
Gloria: Why you bounce so sad?
Manny: I told all my jokes. It turns out I'm not the funny guy.
Gloria: The right girl will find you when it's time, even though I'm gonna hate losing you to another woman.
Manny: You'll never lose me, Mom. I'll always love you, no matter what.
Gloria: Ay, chiquita. You see? Right there. You need no tricks. Just be the sweet, wonderful little boy that you are.
