‘The Bicycle Thief’

Season 1, Episode 2 -  Aired September 30, 2009

Gloria pushes Jay to spend time with Manny, but they both have places they would rather be. When they start daycare classes with Lily, Mitchell wants Cameron to tone down his personality. Meanwhile, Phil insists Luke is ready for a bicycle of his own.

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Whoa, Lily! Oh, not so high!
Danielle: Oh! That is a big moment for her.
Mitchell: Yeah.
Danielle: Would you like a videotape?
Mitchell: Uh, you know, I don't- I don't know if I can actually get her to do it again, so...
Danielle: Well, we tape all of our classes. We don't like parents bringing cameras in. It takes them out of the moment. I'll get you a copy after class.
Mitchell: That's super. Yeah. Thank you. [going to Cameron] Cam. Cam, let's go. I-I don't know what's happened to me, but I just stole a baby's intellectual property.
Cameron: What?
Mitchell: You'll see it tonight on the news. Let's just go.

Quote from Cameron

Danielle: Oh, look who's here, Anton and Scott!
Anton: Hi! Sorry we're late!
Scott: Don't look at me. The eye candy here can't leave the house without spending 20 minutes in front of the mirror. [laughter]
Cameron: Are you kidding me?
Mitchell: I am so sorry.
Cameron: Look at those queens. I would have killed with this crowd, but you had to clip my wings, which you used to be the wind beneath.

Quote from Jay

Jay: [aside to camera] His son's sitting on a curb, waiting to go to Disneyland, and Superman can't drag himself away from a craps table. And I'm the jerk.

Quote from Jay

Jay: Say, listen. I, uh... Sorry, but I got some bad news.
Manny: What?
Jay: Your Dad couldn't make it.
Manny: Why not?
Jay: The plane was full, and this old lady needed to get home, so he gave up his seat.
Manny: You're making that up, aren't you?
Jay: No.
Manny: He just didn't want to come.
Jay: Are you kidding me? He was very upset. He was dying to see you. In fact, look what he sent.
Manny: A limo?
Jay: Yeah! He wanted me and your mom to take you to Disneyland.
Manny: I told you he was an awesome dad.
Jay: Yeah, he's a prince.

Quote from Phil

Claire: Desiree just moved in down the block.
Phil: Fun. Where?
Desiree: 314.
Phil: Oh, the two-bedroom cottage with the indoor/outdoor family room.
Desiree: Very good. How did you-
Phil: Bet you're loving that steam shower.
Claire: Phil, that's creepy.
Phil: Oh, sorry. [laughs] I'm a real-estate mogul. What?! No, I am a real-estate agent. Um, we caravanned that house. Great, uh, deck.

Quote from Phil

Desiree: I'm just there till my divorce is final.
Phil: Now, who is coconuts enough to divorce you?
Claire: We got to go, but we'll see you around.
Phil: Well, we'll have to have you over sometime.
Desiree: I'd love it.
Phil: All right.
Desiree: Bye.
Phil: Bye. [to Claire] She's awesome.
Claire: No, we are never having her over. I heard she already slept with two dads from the school.
Phil: What? That's... horrible.

Quote from Phil

Phil: That still looks like a girl's bike.
Claire: Well, we'll add more black tape.
[aside to camera:]
Phil: My son has been riding his sister's old bike.
Claire: Until he's responsible enough to take care of his own bike. Look, he spilled a soda on my computer. He ruined our digital camera taking pictures of himself underwater.
Phil: It's a girl's bike. I'm all for teaching him a lesson, but I worry about the ridicule he might get from some loudmouth bully.

Quote from Jay

Jay: Hey. Nice bike, sally.
Claire: Dad!
Jay: Come on. He looks like little bo peep on that thing.

Quote from Jay

Jay: Hey, I called that place in Napa and got us upgraded to a villa with a hot tub, so pack whatever you wear in a hot tub.
Gloria: I usually wear nothing when I'm in a hot tub.
Jay: And my college roommate's wife just had to get a new hip. [laughing] Sucker.

Quote from Phil

Phil: So, listen, buddy. Certain members of this family don't think you can take care of this bad boy.
Luke: You mean mom?
Phil: Your words, not mine. Look, uh, your mom and I are a team, And she- We feel like this is a chance for you to show some responsibility. Don't make us look like jerks here.
Luke: I won't.
Phil: Okay. One more rule.
Luke: What?
Phil: Have, like, three buttloads of fun.
