Jay Quote #116
Quote from Jay in Truth Be Told
Manny: Raccoons have five toes.
Jay: What's that?
Manny: I don't mean to bother you. It's just confusing. The footprints in my room only have four toes.
Jay: You know, I bet I know what happened. I'll bet he lost those toes in a fight. And that guy looked like he'd been in a brawl or two.
Manny: One toe from each foot?
Jay: Maybe. You know, Manny, I think the only thing that's gonna get you to stop asking all these questions is for you to have a little closure.
Manny: What do you mean?
Jay: Well, I'd like to throw a little memorial for Shel. It'll be good for all of us. That way we get our grief out, and then we never have to talk about this ever, ever again.

Quote from Manny
Gloria: Ay, good morning, papi.
Manny: Is it?
Gloria: Ay, you're still sad because of that audition.
Manny: That part was mine. I was born to play Tevye. Instead they give it to Rod Jackson? What does he know from suffering?
Quote from Alex
Alex: Hey, Luke. Big day for you, huh?
Luke: Why?
Alex: Because you will get to meet your real mom.
Luke: What? [scoffs]
Alex: We all made a pact we'd deny it until you turned 21. But that's the real reason Dad's old girlfriend's coming over. She's your mom, and if she likes you, you'll go live with her.
Luke: I'm not adopted. I'm asking Mom.
Alex: You mean Mrs. Dunphy? She's not going to tell you the truth.
Quote from Manny
Manny: Turtle, reptile, pet. Shel Turtlestein was many things. [exhales] I don't think I can do this without crying. Maybe we should just get to the cold cuts.
Gloria: Well, we wanna hear it. Jay, why don't you read it? You were with him at the end. Remember?
Jay: "Shel Turtlestein was many things, but above all, he was my friend. When I didn't get a date with Fiona Gunderson, Shel was there. When I didn't get to play the part of Tevye, Shel was there. And when a raccoon broke into my room, unfortunately, Shel was there. I said a lot of things to my friend, but the one thing I never got to say was good-bye."
