Jay Quote #1406
Quote from Jay in Blasts from the Past
Gloria: Your uncle Erasmus Pritchett was a hero at the Alamo. But for the other side.
Manny: Yeah, he hid in a closet during the fighting, then stole a dress and escaped by pretending to be a prostitute.
Jay: What?! I don't believe you.
Gloria: These are official church documents. In this part, it says that he traded military secrets for rum and a new corset.
Manny: "To this day, in Nuevo Laredo, 'to Erasmus' means 'to cry facedown on the ground.'"
Gloria: There's a picture of him cringing.
Joe: I can't believe I named my lizard Erasmus.
Jay: It was wartime, Joe! We can't judge a man who has lived through that kind of hell.
Manny: He spent his post-war years spreading the gospel of vegetarianism.
Jay: I have no uncle.

Quote from Cameron
Cameron: If anything, I'm worried she acts a little young for her age. I mean, isn't a little too old for these unicorns and teddy bears and...Playgirl?
Mitchell: Oh! Oh, God. Where... Where did she get that?
Cameron: I didn't even know they still made these. Although it's heartening print media isn't completely dead.
Mitchell: Okay, you're getting off track. Our daughter is looking at [whispering] naked men.
Cameron: I know. We're gonna have to talk to her about it. You know, my parents never talked to me about anything sexual. They just sent me to the stables when the horses were breeding, and wow, did that create some unreasonable expectations.
Quote from Jay
Jay: [aside to camera] I enjoyed a lot of years taking pride in my great uncle. I didn't want to rob Joe of that. It wasn't easy biting my tongue, but I took a page from another heroic relative, Lulach McPritchett. Proud Scottish warrior, captured by the English, tortured for months using every method imaginable, and never once giving up a single secret. Don't look him up.
