Quote from Mitchell in Three Turkeys
Cameron: Okay, well, sweetie, listen, I'm afraid we can't leave until you put that dress on.
Lily: Okay.

Lily: I left the tag on. This is going back Monday.
Mitchell: Oh, and right in the middle of getting up on such a high, high horse.

Quote from Jay
Jay: Hey, this could be our new Thanksgiving tradition.
Gloria: What, hiding from our own family?
Jay: Hey, if the Indians hid a little bit more, they might still have this country. No, just taking a break from each other. God knows I couldn't love them more, but the Kennedys didn't get together as much as this family.
Quote from Phil
Phil: [aside to camera] I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year. Huge step for Claire to trust me with this. But I have help, this new app. It's, uh, international super chef Nigella Lawson. I can even program my name, so it's like she's right here guiding my every move with that sultry British voice. I listened to her meringue instructions in the car last week. There was so much whipping and beating I had to pull over.
Quote from Gloria
Jay: [aside to camera] The Colombians' trip got canceled because a mudslide took out the runway at the local airport. That thing's made of dirt. Are we sure it didn't just rain?
Gloria: So we never left, and we could have gone to Phil and Claire's, but-
Jay: We decided to enjoy our own quiet, stress-free holiday dinner at home with no one the wiser.
Gloria: We're having a little steak-cation, only with turkey instead of the steak.
Jay: Stay-cation.
Gloria: What did I say?
Jay: "Steak-cation." It's stay-cation.
Gloria: Oh, so, this is how you want to start the quiet, stress-free dinner, with an English lesson? [speaking Spanish]
Jay: They call her "la tranquila."
