Phil Quote #1442
Quote from Phil in Heavy is the Head
Phil: I'm sorry. I dreamt too big.
Jay: It's not your fault. I'm the one who believed in you.
Phil: You're also the one who overplayed his hand.
Jay: We've already established mistakes were made. We need to be thinking about next steps.
Phil: Maybe we need to build something smaller, like a cool restaurant or something.
Jay: I've thought about that. Who's gonna come down here? There's nowhere to park.
Phil: Oh, my God, that's it a parking lot.
Jay: That's not bad. We could build it for nothing and pay off the majority of the loan by tomorrow.
Phil: [flame whooses] Let's talk about this somewhere else.
[aside to camera:]
Phil: Maybe 15-year-old Phil had it right. Sometimes you have to look at your dream from a different angle. I guess it was a parking lot all along.

Quote from Cameron
Cameron: No, okay, not happening. I'm having flashbacks. I don't know if I ever told you this, but when I was kid, I fell into a well.
Mitchell & Cameron: [together] It happened the same day as baby Jessica, but she got all the press.
Cameron: It still stings. Everybody loves a baby, but not one single prayer for a husky teen who's stuck head-first in a well for the better part of an hour.
Quote from Cameron
Mitchell: Or you could just get your head checked so we don't lose you over some stupid fear.
Cameron: Do you know what I went through in that well on October 14, 1987, while the whole world was focused on that media whore Jessica?
Mitchell: She was a baby, but yeah.
Cameron: It was hell. And I would not have survived if those firemen wouldn't have figured out a way to lower my little Aunt Edna into that well and touch my feet and tell me it was gonna be okay and that I wasn't alone.
Quote from Phil
Phil: Breathe it in, girls. My journey begins today. Finally bringing something into this world I can be proud of.
[aside to camera:]
Phil: As children, the Wright Brothers dreamed of flying machines. Oprah dreamed of hiding presents under chairs. And I dreamed of building something magnificent. Well, recently, Jay and I bought a vacant lot on which we are building Dunphy Tower. What I wouldn't give to reach back in time to tell the 15-year-old dreamer who drew this, "We did it, kid."
