Phil and Claire swap their good cop/bad cop parenting roles for the day. Gloria wants Jay to help a down-on-his-luck entrepreneur. Meanwhile, Mitchell isn't sure whether to attend a Lady Gaga concert or care for a sick Cam.
Quote from Jay
Jay: Oh, crap. That's Manny. If he sees the dog, it's all over.
Gloria: I go lock the door.
Jay: And that's the solution Manny sleeps in the backyard till the dog dies of old age?
Quote from Manny
Manny: Hey, guys, I'm home. Boy, I think Claire's working through some stuff because- Oh, my gosh! You got me a dog because of my perfect report card?
Jay: Gloria.
Manny: Sorry, papi. No.
Jay: The dog lives somewhere else which is where she's going right now. Text me the address.
Manny: Can I at least take a moment with her to tell her good-bye?
Jay: Tell her good-bye? You just met her.
Quote from Claire
Alex: He's crazy.
Luke: You know what? Mom's the crazy one. She ran over my hand.
Claire: We were having fun.
Quote from Claire
Claire: Phil, honey, this isn't working. Listen to me. You are not a good bad cop and I'm a very bad good cop. We need things to go back to the way they were.
Phil: Yeah.
Claire: Yeah.
Phil: I feel really shaky. I don't like being you.
Claire: Oh. Nobody does.
Quote from Cameron
Cameron: Going somewhere?
Mitchell: Cam. You're up.
Cameron: Didn't count on that, did you? You dropping Lily off at your sister's, or is she taking my ticket?
Mitchell: Okay, first of all, how are you standing? You drank enough of that cough syrup to put down a grizzly.
Cameron: I'll tell you what's grisly. That is your behavior. Well, it's just a good thing I'm finding out now instead of when I'm old and sick and really need you. Better start saving for some sort of home health care plan because I'd hate for my broken hip and subsequent pneumonia to interfere with your evening plans.
Quote from Mitchell
Mitchell: Okay, Cam. No, you're right. You're right. I have no defense. I am terrible. And the thing is I knew I was terrible, and I was going anyway. I think maybe I tried to justify it by saying we're two different people. And you're more of a caregiver, and I have other strengths. And that's what makes us such a good couple, you know? But No, no. It's a cop-out. I've been very selfish and I need to do better, and I will. I swear on... [Cam snores] Lily's diaper bag.
Quote from Jay
Jay: [to Stella] Ah. Wow. No place to go but up, huh? Don't look at me like that. We all got problems. This ain't gonna work, sweetie. That look ain't gonna work on me. Come on. Come on. Let's go.
Quote from Mitchell
Cameron: Oh. Wow. I must have dozed off.
Mitchell: Yeah. You were out for quite a while.
Cameron: What have you been up to?
Mitchell: I've just been sitting here watching you.
Cameron: Mmm. Well, I'm gonna go to bed.
Mitchell: Okay.
Cameron: Thanks for staying home with me.
Mitchell: Well, you know in sickness and in health. Right?
Cameron: You're still blinking, sweetie.
Mitchell: Oh, no. Oh, gosh. Oh. Oh, this is funny. I'm gonna tell you the funny thing about why this is on.
