Cameron Quote #554
Quote from Cameron in The Wow Factor
Cameron: Maybe I'm being a little ambitious. So let's just do a couple dancing water fountains, call it a day.
Claire: No, wait. Cam, Cam, Cam. That's gonna still put us, like, $3,500 over our landscape budget. Right now, we're forty-twelve percent higher than I thought we'd be at this point because Smitty added that 8% surcharge.
Cameron: I'm sorry. Did you just say forty-twelve percent?
Claire: Mm, no, I didn't.
Cameron: Yes, you did. You do this all the time. You just throw numbers at me to frighten and confuse me. And here I thought we were working so well together, and you're just being manipulative.
Claire: What about you, Cam? Pitching these crazy, over-the-top ideas just so you can slip in what you really want.
Cameron: Oh, how dare you accuse me of Trojan horsing you.
Claire: You have a name for it?
Cameron: No, I mean- You know what? I will not stand here and be accused by the likes of you. And if there was a door here, missy, I would slam it your face.

Gloria: [speaking Spanish to Joe]
Jay: Careful. Keep that up, he'll have to hit "numero dos" when he calls the DMV.
Gloria: By the time he's old enough to call, it will be "numero uno."
Quote from Cameron
[aside to camera, together:]
Claire: For the last few months, Cam and I have been redoing a house together that we're gonna flip, and I have to say, it has been goin' great!
Cameron: We make an amazing team.
Claire: Yeah. The key is trust.
Cameron: Absolutely.
[aside to camera, separately:]
Cameron: The key is, I let Claire think she's in charge. I hide what I want in something bigger and more expensive. Then when she rejects that, we "compromise" on what I wanted all along. I call my method "the Trojan horse." You know how I got Lily? I asked Mitchell for triplets.
Quote from Claire
Claire: By the way, we couldn't get the powder room fixtures you wanted.
Cameron: What? Why?
Claire: Well, they're 23%, or $982, over the budget. Keeping in mind, that space is only 12% of 1,462 square feet.
[aside to camera:]
Claire: Whenever I need to rein in Cam's spending, I employ something that I like to call "the number dump."
[back:]
Claire: So unless you wanna cut 16%, or $1,764 from somewhere in the flooring budget, we've gotta find another 4% overall.
Cameron: Yeah. No, as long as they're pretty, it's fine. It's fine.
[aside to camera:]
Claire: Yesterday, I accidentally said "eleventy-five."
