Quote from Jay

Gloria: Jay, you have to get ready for Mitch and Cam's party.
Jay: Gloria, does my skin look looser to you?
Gloria: What?
Jay: Maybe I should try some of that fancy neck cream of yours. Don't you have some with specks of diamonds in it or something?

Gloria: You guys don't even have costumes.
Young Man #1: I'm a skeleton.
Young Man #2: And I'm--I'm a lemon.
Gloria: Aren't you too old to be trick-or-treating?
Young Man #1: Aren't you too old to be having a baby?
Gloria: Ah, you find that funny, lemon? Here's a better joke. Knock, knock. What's gone? Your candy!

Quote from Luke

Reuben: Plush utility room? Yeah, right. I know a hall closet when I see one.

Luke: [dressed as the devil] You're totally going to that.
Reuben: [dressed as an Angels player] Yeah, if you want to ruin your reputation.

Steven: No, no, no. I totally can.
Cameron: [unzipping] Impressive, huh?

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Hey, Cam. I'm hearing a rumor that you keep flashing our guests.
Cameron: Oh, well, not in a perverted way. I just want people to see my body under this stupid costume.
Mitchell: That's very close to what actual flashers say.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: I'm just tired of throwing out compliments and not getting anything back. I told Roberto his spray tan looked real. Look for yourself. It's on two of our pillows and our cat.

Quote from Cameron

Mitchell: Well, someone decided to take a trip to fantasy island after all.
Cameron: Well, I'm tired of people not noticing my new physique. If this doesn't work, I'm breaking out the diaper and top hat and going as Baby New Year!
