‘Spuds’

Season 11, Episode 14 -  Aired February 19, 2020

Phil and Claire take Haley and Dylan to dinner to reassure them they are not bad parents. While out to dinner, they run into Mitch and Cam who are chaperoning Lily’s first date, as well as Jay and Gloria after attending Joe’s school play.

Quote from Claire

Claire: Haley, get off your phone. The babies are fine with Dylan's mom.
Phil: If you're feeling tense, my dad's old foot bath is in the RV. Plugs right into the cigarette lighter.
Claire: Honey, there could be a money volcano that plugs right into a white wine fountain in there. I still wouldn't want it.

Quote from Haley

Haley: I keep remembering things I forgot to tell her. My kids are already sociopaths. I don't need to give them a strawberry allergy on top of it.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: You know what? Hey, let... let's all turn off our phones. Come on. Yeah, you can... No, come on. Live in the moment. I mean, appreciate the fact that we live in a town with family and friends all sitting at the same table where... Oh, yeah, "Eisenhower planned the D-Day invasion." Well, that's probably not true.

Quote from Jay

Jay: I'm gonna use the restroom. Will someone order the table-side baked potatoes? I mean, that's half of why you come here... for the show.

Quote from Phil

Phil: Public restroom, huh? Shame he can't go in the privacy of his own car.
Claire: It's true. The RV does have a bathroom.
Phil: And a bolted-down Mr. Coffee, bear-proof undercarriage food bins.
Claire: And how many miles would you say is on it?
Phil: Wait! You're selling her on Craigslist? And this isn't even a good picture! This is her bad side!

Quote from Gloria

Mitchell: Hey, look, I get the value of an RV, Claire. There is so much natural beauty to explore here in California.
Gloria: The Golden State!
Cameron: Wait. Are you really trying to get out of moving to Missouri?
Mitchell: No, no!
Gloria: Sounds like what we need is a Missouri Compromise.

Quote from Mitchell

Cameron: Four pills? Is he gonna be okay?
Claire: He can handle it. Dad lived through the closet scene in the '80s.
Mitchell: So did I.

Quote from Jay

Gloria: Ay! Sorry, mister. Are you okay?
Dylan: I actually don't feel anything, which is even more scary.
Jay: Don't be scared to feel, buddy. You could end up running away from an emotional situation with your kids, and those are always the most rewarding.

Quote from Jay

Jay: [voice breaking] In a way, he raised me.
Joe: Pull yourself together, man!

Quote from Claire

Phil: The point we're making, Haley, is that it's natural to worry over your kids. It... It just means that you love them.
Haley: So, I'm always gonna feel like I screwed them up somehow?
Claire: Kind of. I mean, eventually, you'll be able to laugh at it... probably around the time that you're reassuring your own children that they didn't screw up their babies.
