Jay Quote #1356
Quote from Jay in Good Grief
Claire: Seriously. What is this obsession with a sandwich?
Jay: I waited in line! I was thinking about it for months! You know who would get this? Dede. That woman appreciated a good sandwich. And she made the best ones. You know, when we were first married, in that little house in the valley. And we didn't have any money. She would go miles out of her way to get the bread with the crunchy crust from that French bakery. It was hard on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, and she'd say, "That's just like you, Jay." [chuckles] She was nice to me back then.
Claire: Yeah.
Jay: It's funny, I happened to drive past there a while ago. That bakery's not there anymore. And damn if I wasn't depressed for a week. You know, I didn't realize... [voice breaking] ...how much it meant to me till it was gone, you know?

Quote from Gloria
Gloria: [aside to camera] I know that this is going to sound crazy, but I have always worried that when Dede died, she was going to come back and haunt me. Maybe it's because she whispered it to me at my wedding.
Quote from Phil
Claire: Oh, God. Jerry forwarded me an e-mail from Mom's women's group. I-I-I can't even read it. You do it. I...
Phil: Oh, okay. Um..."Our sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one, Dede."
Claire: What happened to Mom?
Phil: Oh, let's see. "On the third night, Dede wandered away from the group and encountered a pack of starving timberwolves."
Mitchell: Oh my God.
Claire: Oh my God, Mom.
Phil: "As you know, Dede long believed she could comunicate with animals, so using a mix of howls and barks she convinced them to seek food elsewhere." Huh, guess that wasn't that. Let's see. "Later she ignored that thin ice sign and plunged..." Hang on, saved by one of the wolves. Uh... [MUMBLES] "She deeply offended a tribe of Inuits by interrupting a secret dagger..." "She was briefly swallowed by a whale..." Uh, here it is! "On the trip's final morning, Dede was found in her room. She had apparently passed peacefully in her sleep as a smile graced her face and her hands clutched ten pages of suggestions for the hotel staff."
Quote from Cameron
Phil: You know, I'm impressed you're still wearing that dress.
Cameron: Oh, well, I'm wearing two pair of Spanx and was on a diuretic for hours. As we say where I'm from, you don't teach your dog to play the banjo and then skip the talent show.
