Claire Quote #636

Quote from Claire in Do It Yourself

Charles Dumont: Oh, this is unique.
Claire: Yes, thank you very much. You know how on your show you were always taking chances and trusting your instincts? Well, that is what I did.
Charles Dumont: That's because I have good instincts.
Claire: Mm-hmm.
Charles Dumont: What's something you do well?
Claire: Cook?
Charles Dumont: No.
Haley: Uh, Mom, I think what he's trying to say is that you should more closely follow his recipe. You know, use the ingredients that he mentions. Measure stuff. Right?
Charles Dumont: Not at all. As I say in the foreword of my third book, "Who Can't Cook?," "Some people can't cook." Don't feel bad. Gourmet cooking is tough, though not as tough as your chicken.

Quote from Phil

Phil: [aside to camera] Dunphy Tower: My first commercial real-estate development. I've been dreaming of building it since I was a kid, and now it's all happening. Well, minus the trampoline park on the roof and the tunnel to my best friend's house. I am still holding out hope for a fireman's pole that takes you to the parking garage.

Quote from Jay

Jay: [aside to camera] I don't know how I got stuck. I've been on roofs since I was 14 and discovered it was the best way to see into Ethel Burkin's bedroom. Older gal. 50s, I think. Today you probably wouldn't give her a second look, but this was before the Internet. It was either that or a Sears catalog.

Quote from Gloria

Gloria: Jay! Jay!
Jay: I'm up here.
Gloria: [to the heavens] Ay, Dios mío! Your time was too short!
