Phil Quote #642
Quote from Phil in Tableau Vivant
Phil: In fairness, you can be a little quick to give advice.
Claire: Well, I'm always ready to help, if that's what you mean, yeah.
Phil: Yeah, but if you're not careful, it can come off a little Know-it-all-y.
Claire: That's not a word. What you mean to say is, it can come off like I know it all. I've always been this way.
Phil: That's why I wanted to break up with you.

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
Claire: [aside to camera] Every new generation thinks they have cracked the code on child rearing. What's the latest theory? "Never say no." I say "no" every day in this house.
Phil: But at night, she's a "yes" machine.
Claire: No.
