Quote from Phil
Phil: You know, I went through that, kids- Kids messing with my stuff.
Luke: Really?
Phil: Oh, yeah. In High School, when I first got nominated for junior tumbling congress. My parents had to sign a release! Anyway, my buddy Dizzy Brindizzi saw it, grabbed it, and made a lot of fun of me. I thought about not going.
Luke: But you did.
Phil: Oh, yeah. Had a blast. Made a lot of friends, shared milkshakes with more than one female tumbler. The minute I stopped caring what other people thought and started doing what I wanted to do, is the minute I finally felt free! Buddy, you're gonna make your own choices, and whatever you decide, I'll always support you.
Luke: You're not just saying all this 'cause you're stuck, right?
Phil: Nothing you decide will ever disappoint me.
Luke: Thanks, dad.
Quote from Haley
Claire: Well, honey, I just wanted to check in and say hi. Alex, come say hi to your sister! I love you so much.
Alex: What's up, lady?
Haley: Oh, my God. You did not just say, "what's up, lady?" What's wrong with you?
Alex: I was just saying hello-
Haley: Oh, it's like the lamest thing you've ever said. And what is that shirt? What are you, a flapper?
Alex: I just bought it at that store that you-
Haley: Oh, where? Forever 1921? And what is going on with your hair?
Alex: What's wrong with my hair?
Haley: Oh, you should just dip yourself in boy repellent.
Alex: Shut up! Mom!
Claire: And balance is restored.
