Manny Quote #439
Quote from Manny in The Graduates
Manny: We picked up my graduation stuff on the way, and... I don't know. I guess the tassel got my dad thinking.
Jay: Why didn't you leave them in the car?
Manny: I didn't want them to get stolen. And I may have taken it out to impress a certain Chyna with a "Y." I think she really liked me.
Jay: I'm not gonna spoil that one for ya.
Manny: I graduate in five hours!
Jay: We'll get you another cap and gown.
Manny: That sash has been worn by every honoree for decades. I'm not gonna be the one to lose it after it's survived earthquakes and wars and the lunchroom gravy fire of '64!
Jay: Fine. Where is this place?
Manny: I don't know! I remember there was a lot of brass and mirrors and loud '80s music.
Jay: Well, that narrows it down.

‘The Graduates’ Quotes
Quote from Jay
Manny: Mom, you're already cooking for tomorrow? Don't make a big deal.
Gloria: My baby's graduating. He won the award for Integrity and Character. "No absence, no tardies, respectful to students and teachers alike."
Jay: My school had an award like that, but instead of a sash, that kid got a punch in the mouth. Proud of you, though.
Manny: Why do all your stories involve a punch in the face, a shifty European, or a broad who's been around the block?
Jay: That reminds me of when I had to rough up this Italian kid because he didn't want me dating his sister. She was no nun!
Quote from Javier
Javier: How could I miss it? Manny, the first member of my family to ever graduate from high school.
Jay: Wait a minute. Don't you have a brother in Colombia who's a doctor?
Javier: Yes.
Gloria: He just does orthopedic surgery, not brain or heart.
