Jay Quote #1242
Quote from Jay in He Said, She Shed
Jay: I know you think you have the monopoly on deciding what's best for Joe, but I have parenting instincts, too. I deferred to Dede every single time on Mitch and Claire, and this time I'm going with my gut.
Gloria: Mitch and Claire turned out to be wonderful people.
Jay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not knocking them. I love all my children equally. [to Manny] Bup, bup, bup, bup! That's winner water.

Quote from Gloria
Gloria: But Joe worries me because stress can destroy a child. Take it from Cartagena's junior regional backstroke champion.
Manny: You used to swim?
Gloria: Like a cigarette boat fleeing to international waters. But all that stress brought the darkness in me. I started pulling out my hair, and... there was an incident.
Manny: What kind of incident?
Gloria: I'm ashamed to admit it, but when I lost one of the big races, I might have hit one of the other swimmers in the leg with a skimmer pole.
Manny: You Tonya Harding-ed another girl?
Gloria: No, in Colombia, they call it the Gloria Ramirez-ing.
Quote from Gloria
Jay: You know, Gloria, with the right training, this kid could go all the way. Me managing his golf career can be my second act.
Gloria: You're 70. Your second act was two acts ago.
Quote from Jay
Jay: [aside to camera] I needed to find a way to spend more quality time with Joe. I couldn't take another Saturday of hide-and-seek. At this point, I've spent more time in the closet than Mitchell. [chuckles]
