‘Snow Ball’

Season 8, Episode 9 -  Aired December 14, 2016

When Manny and Luke organize the school's lavish winter dance, they end up in over their heads following a communication error. As Gloria, Claire, Mitchell and Cameron chaperone the dance, Cameron is nervously waiting for his football team to prank him, Mitchell is offended by a gay student's sarcastic remarks, and Gloria and Claire try to distract an overeager parent volunteer. Meanwhile, Jay agrees to spend the evening with Phil just to get out of attending the dance.

Quote from Gloria

Marjorie: Did you get my texts? Look what I've already confiscated. Oh, shameful.
Claire: I'll take that.
Marjorie: So, I still need volunteers to call parents for silent auction items. I've divided it into six-hour shifts, so if you switch ears every half-hour, it's actually not bad. Can I count on you two ladies?
Claire: I'm so busy, but I can't speak for Gloria.
Gloria: My phone English no so good.

Quote from Luke

Manny: I'm the one who made all this happen. Do you have any idea how hard it is doing all this for $8,000 Yeah, of course not, because-
Luke: Wait, wait, wait. The budget for this was $800. You spent $8,000? That's the budget for the whole year.
Manny: I texted you, "What's my budget for the Snow Ball." You replied $8,000, followed by a gratuitous gif of a guy getting hit in the nards.
Luke: It's like just don't skateboard down a railing, right? [chuckles]

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Hey, Cam. Uh, do you know a kid named Damien Warmack?
Cameron: Oh, yeah. Mean little kid.
Mitchell: Yeah.
Cameron: He fat shamed my whole defensive line. There's nothing more sad than watching a once terrifying nose tackle pick croutons out of his salad.
Mitchell: Oh, God, I'm so conflicted. A gay kid is now bullying football players, which I guess, you know, seems like progress, but the wrong kind of progress.

Quote from Cameron

Student: Would you like a-
Cameron: Oh! [tray clatters] In my defense, bruschetta mostly ends up on the floor anyway.

Quote from Cameron

Mitchell: Cam, I think you might be more worried about this prank than you need to be.
Cameron: Well, I just don't understand why they want to prank me. I thought they liked me.
Mitchell: Of course they like you. You can't prank someone you don't like. That's that's just assault. But pranking you is their bizarre way of saying that they love you.
Cameron: Is this your bizarre way of not validating my feelings?

Quote from Manny

Damien: Hey, Delgado. I hope this punch isn't as watered down as your performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire to Hang Myself."
Manny: Damien, you're just... You look... Damn it, I hate how much I like that jacket.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: I know what you're doing.
Damien: Excuse me?
Mitchell: I know how hard it is to be a gay teen. In high school, I only had one friend.
Damien: Really? What was Oscar Wilde like?
Mitchell: You're lashing out. Because you're angry and you're insecure, and you just want everyone else to feel as bad as you do.
Damien: Maybe. But come on. It must've been easier for you looking like Michael Fassbender.
Mitchell: Nah. I do not look like- You think I look like Michael Fassbender?
Damien: Yeah, if he were older and shorter and played by Kathy Griffin.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Hey, hey. That Damien Warmack kid is so mean. Honing in on these poor kids' insecurities and then just lacerating them. I-I don't look like Kathy Griffin, do I?
Cameron: I'll tell you what's mean, is my team making me wait all night for this damn prank.
Mitchell: Or, "Mitch, you're being ridiculous."You're a very handsome man, "and if you had to be played by a woman, "it would be a young Ann-Margret."

Quote from Gloria

Marjorie: My mom doesn't believe that Principal Brown likes me. Can you tell her?
Claire: [sighs] Gloria?
Gloria: My phone English no so good.

Quote from Claire

Claire: Marjorie is smart and organized, and if you ever need hand sanitizer or a Band-Aid, she always has it on her. She's like a sexy, sexy drugstore.
