Claire Quote #353
Quote from Claire in Career Day
Maureen: So why haven't you gone back to work?
Claire: I've done a few things lately. I just redid a house, and I ran for city council last year.
Maureen: You're on the City Council?
Claire: No. I-I didn't win.
Maureen: You lost?
Claire: That's what "didn't win" means. I I thought I would be going back to work when the kids got older, but it- It's not as easy as you might think. You know, people aren't exactly lining up to hire a woman who's almost 40 and has been out of the job market for 15 years.
Luke: I thought you were 42.
Claire: That's almost 40, Luke.
Maureen: My mom went back to work when I was 4.
Claire: Oh, so there was no one at home to teach you not to interrupt?

Quote from Lily
Mitchell: Oh, let's see here. Uh, yeah. Oh, the Tooth Fairy. "1 Tooth Fairy Lane. Tooth City, Tooth Dakota."
Lily: I hope it's another $100.
Cameron: Ooh! Well, lookie there. Glitter!
Mitchell: I guess the tooth fairy doesn't have to worry about vacuuming.
Cameron: See, "Dear Lily, I'm writing because I made a mistake and gave you too much money. Please leave the $100 under your pillow tonight, and I'll give you a dollar. Sorry if that bites."
Lily: Let me see that. [takes letter] I can't read.
Quote from Cameron
Mitchell: [aside to camera] Lily lost her first tooth today. And she's very excited about a visit from the tooth fairy.
Cameron: When I had my first loose tooth, my mama tied one end of the string to it, and the other to the tail of a Guernsey cow, fired off a 12-gauge shotgun, and the cow went running out of the room.
Mitchell: That never happened.
Cameron: Tell that to the cow-shaped hole in my bedroom wall.
Quote from Phil
Phil: Guess what? I've been in your house when you weren't home. And yours. And yours. No, I'm not a burglar. I'm a realtor.
Gil Thorpe: Ho! Hey, sorry I'm late! I just sold another mansion. How you doin', honey?
[aside to camera:]
Phil: History is full of great rivalries: Athens and Sparta, Kerrigan and Harding, Phil Dunphy and Gil Thorpe. In this scenario, he's the Tonya, I'm the Nancy.
