Phil Quote #634
Quote from Phil in Tableau Vivant
Phil: Okay, how does this sound? "Mitchell, I love you very much, I not only love you, but admire you, and someday I hope to"-
Claire: Are you firing him or proposing to him?
Phil: Honey, this was supposed to be a part-time job. He was gonna be done in the summer anyway.
Claire: Just be direct.
Phil: I should have warned him. How do you tell someone they have a reputation for being lazy?
Claire: Mitchell? Lazy?
Phil: Yeah. Yeah. He handed in a couple of contracts late, but I didn't want to say anything because he's practically doing this for free. I can't do this! This isn't the face of a cold-blooded hatchet man. Will you do it?

Quote from Phil
Phil: [aside to camera] I'm a stress blinker, um, and what really gets me going is confrontation. I hate it. I-I avoid it at all costs. Terrible at it. Once, I, uh, I tried to break up with a girl, and I danced around it so much, she didn't know I had broken up with her. Twenty years later we're still married.
Quote from Alex
Claire: Honey, do you think you're nervous because you've got a little crush on Mr. Jarvis?
Alex: No.
Claire: Are you sure? Because I've seen the way you look at him-
Alex: Sounds like you're the one with the crush! I've just never had a teacher not like me before.
Phil: Well, Ms. Davis.
Alex: Please. She's a gym teacher. She is to teaching what Dr. Seuss is to medicine.
Claire: And to think she didn't like you.
Quote from Claire
