Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Hi. We had so much fun.
Sydney's mom: Oh, good. Sydney, honey, are you crying?
Sydney: He ruined my picture and pulled my hair!
Mitchell: Just little accidents.
Sydney: And he called me a know-it-all!
Sydney's mom: What kind of a person calls a 6-year-old a know-it-all? [door closes]
Mitchell: She's a year younger than you?

Quote from Andy

Andy: I'm just glad we didn't take it any further. Because clearly, we are wrong for each other.
Haley: Totally.
Andy: We are way better as friends.
Haley: Way!
Andy: Like, imagine if we kissed or something.
Haley: Ha!
Andy: That would've been a disaster.
Haley: A huge disaster.
Andy: You would've been destroyed.
Haley: Yeah... What?

Quote from Andy

Andy: Whoa, Joe. What's with the snow on the roof? You're aging like a president.

Quote from Cameron

Gloria: Sit down.This is a family dinner. We all eat together.
Cameron: Are there potatoes? I smell potatoes.

Quote from Lily

Mitchell: Here you go, sweetheart.
Lily: You eat it.
Mitchell: Lily, it wasn't that bad.
Lily: You still got my friend's hair in your watch!

Quote from Alex

Jay: What were you thinking with that playdate?
Mitchell: I was feeling protective. That girl made Lily feel bad.
Jay: Or did she make you feel bad?
Mitchell: I didn't love it.
Phil: That happens with all first-time parents. We think our kids are the best or the smartest. For the longest time, that's how we felt about Haley.
Alex: "The longest time"? Really?

Quote from Claire

Gloria: You have always been like this. You put so much pressure into your kids that they fall into pieces.
Jay: I never put more pressure on my kids than they can handle.
Claire: [entering, coughing] Oh, don't be mad, Dad. I'm sorry. I tried. I really -- I tried. [slides to the floor]

Quote from Andy

Andy: Okay. I didn't mean to imply that if we kissed, it wouldn't affect me. Are you kidding? You are so pretty and so out of my league. It would've rocked my world.
Haley: Okay, then.
Andy: It just would've hit you harder. That's all. [in British accent] Mr. Pritchett! Your bath awaits! Are you prepared for a bum-scrubbing today, sir?
