When Claire takes evasive action to hide a stray dog she's taken in from Phil, he becomes convinced she's upset with him. When Gloria invites a new couple over, Jay is reluctant to admit he likes the guy after insisting he didn't need any new friends. Meanwhile, Cameron rents out the upstairs apartment to a Christian rock band.

Quote from Phil

Claire: [to the dog] Did you get out? Oh, come on, now. Shhhhhhh.
Phil: Honey? Sweetheart?
Claire: Hmm?
Phil: I am so sorry. It's fine, Phil, really. Just go back to bed.
Claire: [dog whimpers; Claire whimpers] I just need some time to myself.
Phil: [whimpers] Y-You know I cry when you cry. I'll be upstairs.

Quote from Mitchell

Cameron: What are you doing?
Mitchell: He was clearly reaching out.
Cameron: He was admiring our garden.
Mitchell: Nobody admires our garden. It's a dead cactus with a grocery bag stuck to it.

Quote from Mitchell

Cameron: What is going on with you? You're the one who never wants to get involved in people's lives.
Mitchell: Don't you see? He feels trapped by those guys.
Cameron: Oh, the big, bad Bible thumpers? Here we go again.
Mitchell: I'm just saying you could read his song "A Cry for Help" as a cry for help.
Cameron: Mitchell, I'm sorry you got chased into a lake, but some of the kindest, most loving, generous people I've ever known were churchgoers.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Hey, Dex, do you mind if I make a personal observation?
Dex: If it's about my hips, blame my mother.
Mitchell: [chuckling] No, no. It's- It's about the song that you sang yesterday. It seemed like you were trying to express something. Some feelings you might be having that you think might not be met with approval from your "community."
Cameron: Or it's just a song. Has nothing to do with his personal situation.
Mitchell: No, it does. Ha! Ha! I'm- I'm sorry. Your pain is real.

Quote from Mitchell

Dex: I just feel so guilty. I know people will be disappointed.
Mitchell: No, no, don't feel guilty. Look, the first step is to say it out loud.
Dex: I don't want to be a drummer.
Mitchell: Okay, now say the other thing.
Dex: I don't want to be in a band anymore. I miss home. I miss my girlfriend.
Mitchell: I'm sorry. Whoa. What?
Cameron: I'm sorry. Your what?
Dex: It's like a weight has been lifted. Thank you so much, guys. You know, I was just gonna stay inside today, but I'm really glad I came out.
Mitchell: He doesn't get to say that.

Quote from Manny

Manny: Oh, hey, Joe. Uh, there's a new "Mystery Kidz" on.
Joe: No, thanks.
Manny: "No, thanks"? Aren't you curious who stole Poco's magic wings?
Joe: Not really.
Manny: But everyone's a suspect. The watchmaker hates Poco, and Mayor Pudding would do anything to stay in office. How could you not want to see what happens?

Quote from Jay

Manny: [answers phone] Hello? Uh, yes. Hold on. Jay, it's Reece.
Jay: You see, Gloria? Now he's calling me. This is what I was afraid of.
[aside to camera:]
Jay: [excitedly] He called. My new friend called. He's taking me to a hockey game.

Quote from Luke

Luke: Rex. Scooby. Clifford.
Claire: What are you doing?
Haley: Trying to figure out his name.
Claire: What about dad?
Luke: Here, Dad. Nope.

Quote from Alex

Alex: What happened to the dinosaur bone I got for Sanjay?
Haley: I saw Snoop... burying something in the backyard.
Alex: And you didn't do anything?
Haley: I opened the door for him.
Alex: That bone lasted 65 million years, and it can't even last one day in this house?!

Quote from Phil

Phil: Sweetheart, about last night.
Claire: Uh-huh.
Phil: Because I didn't listen with these two ears...
Claire: Yes.
Phil: I want to apologize with these tu-lips.
