Quote from Phil

Phil: I always take the stairs two at a time. I don't even think about it anymore. The regular way would seem weird.
Claire: Phil, let it go. I'm faster than you.
Phil: If only there was some way we could settle this once and for all, but how? Huh.
Claire: You seriously want to race me? I ran a half marathon last year.
Phil: Wow. I'm half scared.

Quote from Jay

Manny: I thought you said it made me look like my neck was wearing a dress.
Jay: That was a joke.
Manny: Oh, good it's still in the pocket.
Jay: What you got there, buddy?
Manny: My pan flute. I'm going to play some Colombian folk music for my new classmates.

Quote from Cameron

Mitchell: I just I think I suck at being a father.
Cameron: What are you talking about? We're new at this.

Cameron: There are so many things that you do that I can't. You- You baby-proofed the entire house. You took care of all the adoption paperwork. Without you, we wouldn't even have a baby to injure.
Mitchell: Just a couple of forms. Actually, that was a lot of paperwork.
