Dede Quote #36
Claire: Instead of blaming Mom for helping you make the right choices, how about thanking her? You know, it's not so easy to be the one who always knows best. In fact, it can make you a little tense sometimes.
Gloria: This amazing woman runs a company, she runs a family, and you don't show her any appreciation. Just like you two. I put you two together to do this movie and you turn me into your devil creature.
Jay: What do you mean you put us together?
Gloria: I left Manny's script out so that you would see it and you would get involved. I knew that this movie was not going to be good unless I would take his artsy weirdness and balance it with your low-brow, couch-tomato sensibility.
Dede: And that's why it was so great. Gloria, I know what you put up with. I-I was married to Jay. You are a saint to stick around. Especially with that bosom, you could get any guy in town.
Claire: Mm-hmm.
Dede: So, unfortunately, this is what families do they turn mothers into monsters.

Quote from Pam
Pam: There's a box out here marked fruit of the month. I'm assuming that means one of you won a contest.
Quote from Manny
Jay: [aside to camera] She was the perfect secret weapon. We send her upstairs to freshen up, just before the movie starts, we drop the Dede bomb. Gloria's flustered, off her game, she doesn't even pay attention to the film.
Manny: You still got it. And to think I was worried last night when you kept trying to turn on your phone flashlight and ended up taking 30 pictures of your angry face.
Quote from Cameron
Mitchell: [aside to camera] So, Pam's moving back home after living in our upstairs unit for like three years.
Cameron: Uh, okay, it's been a year and nine days, and she chopped us all that wood. Plus, she's taking Lily back to see my parents. It's birthing season so she gets to name her first pig. Oh, and then we slaughter it on her 13th birthday. There's prayers and dancing. It's not unlike your standard bar mitzvah.
Mitchell: Except a lot more pork and a lot less Jews. Anyway, we're excited to have the house to ourselves again.
