Claire Quote #681
Quote from Claire in Ten Years Later
Claire: I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the job. You're just such a "Go for it" kind of guy, and I love that about you, but in that case, we had three little kids, a mortgage, and I was nervous.
Phil: You could have at least included me in the decision.
Claire: You're right! You're right. And I know "I'm sorry" doesn't begin to cover it.
Phil: Why are we stopping?
Claire: Well, our kids are grown, I run a company, you've got a great day job. I thought maybe it was time you picked up an old hobby.
Phil: Are those...
Claire: Uh, keys to your new magic shop.
Phil: Oh, my God!
Claire: [laughs] Go on!
Phil: What?!
Claire: I know! And Mister Ekshun was willing to let it go for next to nothing. Which, now that I think of it, is probably not a great sign.
Phil: This is awesome! And "Mister Ekshun" I just got that! It's kind of funny that you're making up for making a decision that should have been mine by making another decision for me.

Quote from Claire
Claire: [aside to camera] I'm throwing Dad and Gloria's 10th anniversary party, and Phil is part of the entertainment.
Phil: I'm gonna make Gloria seemingly dematerialize, then wondrously travel back through time, and then rematerialized in her wedding dress.
Claire: She's gonna change her clothes in a box.
Phil: This is why I'm nervous about you introducing me.
Claire: I'm kidding! You're gonna be great.
[separately to camera:]
Claire: He better be great. I want Dad and Gloria's party to be perfect. I was kind of a pill at their wedding. I hadn't fully accepted Gloria yet. And I feel a little responsible for what happened with my mom. I fed her, like, three drinks at the reception. You know, just to take the edge off. She almost took the doorframe off.
Quote from Jay
Jay: Morning, beautiful. We have huevos, we have chorizo, we have tortilla. What we ain't got is Manny. Unfortunately, he's gonna be a no-show at the party today.
Joe: Aha.
Jay: What can I get you?
Gloria: Take that garbage away from me. I'm going for a walk.
[aside to camera:]
Jay: Manny was a big part of our wedding. He walked Gloria down the aisle, did the calligraphy. And I knew him not showing up to our anniversary party would put Gloria in a bad mood. In some ways, I feel responsible.
Quote from Mitchell
Mitchell: So, uh, what's all this?
Cameron: This is redemption.
Mitchell: Maybe just a straight answer.
Cameron: The year was 2007. The wedding reception of Jay and Gloria. Our gift to the newlyweds was a duet performance of "Islands in the Stream."
Mitchell: "Islands in the Stream."
Cameron: A gift that would never be, because...
Mitchell: I remember.
[aside to camera:]
Mitchell: I fed my mom a few drinks at the reception. I really did not want to sing, so I figured if I got her a little tipsy, I wouldn't have to perform because I'd have to hold her hand... And later hold her hair back.
