‘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 Claire
Claire: But, Principal Brown, you know what they say about a mom who's enthusiastic in the streets.
Principal Brown: That's not a saying. Why are the two of you suddenly so interested in my love life, anyway?
Claire: Because we care.
Principal Brown: You don't even know my first name.
Claire: Yes, we do. It's, um... Prince?
Principal Brown: Lucky guess.
Quote from Manny
Luke: I've got it. We start a fake marching band and get the money for the instruments up front.
Manny: You just described the exact plot of "The Music Man."
Luke: How'd that turn out?
Manny: Won four Tonys.
Damien: Five. Ugh.
Quote from Manny
Manny: Classmates, could I have everyone's attention, please? I have some troubling news. I know you may all think of me as the golden boy, the prodigy, the wunderkind.
Boy: Who are you?
Manny: Indeed. I'm not sure I know anymore.
Quote from Luke
Luke: Hold on a minute. I'm the President. I should do this. We need to raise $8,000 for a classmate in need. If we don't get this money, he may never walk again. We're gonna make a Kickstarter, and if you want to show your date you're the kind of sensitive, caring person who deserves to be rewarded in a physical way, you'll give generously.
Manny: Wow, you're a good liar. I take it back. You deserve to be President.
Quote from Phil
Jay: We never should've helped that little punk get out of that locker.
Phil: I didn't know he was gonna be so brutal about your sweater.
Quote from Luke
Luke: Oh, hi there. I'm Luke Dunphy, Student Body President.
Manny: And I'm Manny-
Luke: But this isn't about us. We have a classmate who's in a pretty bad spot.
Manny: But it doesn't have to end that way.
Luke: With your help, we can save him from getting beaten up.
Manny: By by his disease.
Luke: A disease no kid should have to wrestle with.
Manny: We just need to raise $8,000 to-
Luke: Or $9,000 to get him that super deluxe treatment.
Manny: We only need $8,000-
Luke: I'm Luke Dunphy, and I approve this message.
