Claire Quote #640
Quote from Claire in Heavy is the Head
Ben: Well, just spitballing here maybe we could fire Kenny from the warehouse.
Claire: No one's getting fired.
Ben: But he does a really hurtful impression of me.
Claire: Come on, guys. Everybody gather round. I don't like these budget cuts any more than you do, but I want you to know I'm in this with you. I've cut my expenses. All the execs are flying coach. But I do want you to feel like you have a voice in this. So, not only is my office door always open to you, I've actually had it removed.
Ben: That's a very powerful metaphor, boss.
Kenny: [nasally] That's a very powerful metaphor, boss. [laughter]
Claire: Kenny, thanks for keeping it light. So good!

Quote from Cameron
Cameron: No, okay, not happening. I'm having flashbacks. I don't know if I ever told you this, but when I was kid, I fell into a well.
Mitchell & Cameron: [together] It happened the same day as baby Jessica, but she got all the press.
Cameron: It still stings. Everybody loves a baby, but not one single prayer for a husky teen who's stuck head-first in a well for the better part of an hour.
Quote from Cameron
Mitchell: Or you could just get your head checked so we don't lose you over some stupid fear.
Cameron: Do you know what I went through in that well on October 14, 1987, while the whole world was focused on that media whore Jessica?
Mitchell: She was a baby, but yeah.
Cameron: It was hell. And I would not have survived if those firemen wouldn't have figured out a way to lower my little Aunt Edna into that well and touch my feet and tell me it was gonna be okay and that I wasn't alone.
Quote from Phil
Phil: Breathe it in, girls. My journey begins today. Finally bringing something into this world I can be proud of.
[aside to camera:]
Phil: As children, the Wright Brothers dreamed of flying machines. Oprah dreamed of hiding presents under chairs. And I dreamed of building something magnificent. Well, recently, Jay and I bought a vacant lot on which we are building Dunphy Tower. What I wouldn't give to reach back in time to tell the 15-year-old dreamer who drew this, "We did it, kid."
