Quote from Gloria in A Sketchy Area
Claire: I just want to go back to my old office, where I had friends.
Gloria: I know. Sometimes... [reading the pep talk she prepared for Joe] you know, we all have bad days. And... And sometimes, we have to... to deal with mean boys.
Claire: Boys are mean. You're right, Gloria.
Gloria: I am right?
Claire: Mm.
Gloria: Oh, you know what I love about this family? We're not quitters, especially you. Remember how hard it was for you to learn how to swim?
Claire: It was hard.
Gloria: But now it's your favorite thing in the world because it reminds you of how strong you are.
Claire: I mean, I like to swim...
Gloria: Tomorrow can only be better.
Claire: Mm.
Gloria: But just in case, I'll come at lunch, and I will kiss you through the fence.
Claire: How about I text you around 11:00 and let you know how I'm doing?

Where am I?! America loves closets, and I'm here to build them, damn it! And you get this [ping pong ball] back when I see people pull up in the morning crying in their cars.
Quote from Gloria
Alex: Okay, I've been feeling some pressure about what to do after I graduate this year, and my parents are constantly asking me about it.
Gloria: I thought that you were going to work.
Alex: So did I, but lately, I've been questioning everything. I even thought about becoming a fellow.
Gloria: [gasps] Ay, Alex, that's a big change. But at least you get to keep the same name.
Alex: I'm not even sure it's what I really want.
Gloria: Okay, you have to be very sure, because I heard it's even harder to reverse it.
Quote from Claire
Claire: [aside to camera] Just as I feared, my dad had crushed the spirit of everyone in that office. I had to do something to prove we weren't some stuffy killjoys. It was time to bust out Party Claire. [chuckles] She'd retired after spring break '89. [sniffs] And again in '92.
