When Mitchell's ex-boyfriend, Teddy, invites the whole family to a fundraising event, Cameron is jealous when he sees how everybody is still enamored with Teddy. Claire is reluctant to accept her father's offer of a job in the closet company. Meanwhile, Phil tries to teach Gloria to skate, Haley coaches Alex on talking to boys, and Manny and Luke must decide who is their "hero" for a school assignment.

Quote from Phil

Phil: I'm a natural teacher.
Gloria: But I'm going to look stupid.
Phil: Gloria, trust me. As long as you're standing next to me, you will not look stupid.

Quote from Alex

Haley: I love that movie, too!
Max: Yeah, that cool fight scene on that skyscraper in Shanghai, it really made me want to go to Japan.
Alex: Why? Shanghai's in China. I'm just saying, you don't want to fly to Japan, get in a cab and say, "Take me to downtown Shanghai. It's a pretty expensive ride." [laughs]

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: Oh, great. We've got the Prius that can make dinner reservations, buy movie tickets, tell us the weather. I just want one that opens.

Quote from Cameron

Teddy: You were the one who said, "I need some time. I'll call you when I heal more." Ten years later...
Mitchell: I never said that.
Cameron: Oh, time to heal more! That's so sweet and sensitive. Why did you kill that part of yourself?

Quote from Lily

Teddy: So 4:00 Saturday. I'm so glad I bumped into y'all.
Cameron: Us, too. Say bye, Lily!
Lily: Bye, Lily.
Cameron: I taught her that, so...

Quote from Gloria

Claire: How was dinner?
Jay: Perfect. I had a steak, I had some ice cream, Gloria found a hair in her fish, and it didn't cost us a penny!
Gloria: It might have been my own hair, but Jay was so happy that I didn't say anything.

Quote from Gloria

Jay: I know you've been wanting to get back out there, and I always kind of thought that if you did go back to work, you'd come back to work with me.
Gloria: I- I worked there for half a summer 20 years ago.
Jay: And it- It was terrific, honey. Listen, obviously, we'll start you out slow. We'll give you time to re-learn about the place, and then maybe move you up. You know, you do know a guy.
Gloria: He means him!

Quote from Jay

Jay: Oh, love him. What did I say about these flowered blankets for him?
Gloria: Ay.
Jay: Huh? He's starting to take after Hugh Heff-nerd over there.
Manny: Very amusing, Jay. Let me just get your name down here.

Quote from Phil

Phil: Why would you say no? I thought you were looking for something. We could use the money, too, especially if Haley decides to go back to school.
Claire: Oh, is she still throwing out those college brochures?
Phil: Just tossed one now. Who does she think empties the trash?

Quote from Gloria

Phil: Gloria. You don't know how to roller-skate.
Gloria: Of course I do. I know how to do everything. [sighs] I can't lie to that face. It's a good thing that we're not married.
Phil: Well, I don't-
Gloria: I can't skate. I am an elegant woman. That means that I never do the few things that I don't really do that good.
