Quote from Gloria

Manny: I called the theater, and they have tons of tickets for tomorrow's show. And it turns out today's show wasn't sold out, either.
Gloria: Ay, Manny, not now.
Jay: Let him talk.
Manny: Mom, why'd you say it was sold out?
Jay: Yeah. Why'd you say it was sold out?
Gloria: It was a mistake. This is not my first language. I don't understand English very goodly.
Jay: Don't play that card.

Quote from Lily

Mitchell: Milo, the ball's over here. Nah, nah. Doesn't count. It was out. Aah! Little too high for you, huh? Three bounces to the wall makes you a lo-ser, makes you a lo-ser. Final point. I get this, I win. Oh, sweet lord Jesus. Whoo! Yes! Yes! Winner! Cham-pi-on! Cham-pi-on!
[aside to camera:]
Mitchell: Cam's gonna be doing drop-offs for a while.
Lily: We got a letter.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: I'm sure you're both wondering why I summoned you here tonight. I now present to you the "wow" factor.
Claire: Cam, I cannot believe that you went rogue.
Pam: Uncool. I am with Claire on this.
Cameron: You'll soon see why. Prepare your senses for dancing waters.
Claire & Pam: Wow.
Cameron: Factor.

Quote from Luke

Luke: All right. Close your eyes.
Mitchell: Why?
Luke: Just trust me.
Mitchell: Okay. [Luke throws the ball at Mitchell's face] Ow!
Luke: Never close your eyes on the court!
Mitchell: But you told me-
Luke: Don't let me get in your head!

Quote from Luke

Luke: Make a fist with your thumb on the side. Now bring your thumb to the front. Okay, now do it again. Ha! You just spelled "ass" in sign language.

Quote from Luke

Luke: Okay. Close your eyes. It's okay. We're off the court. [slaps the drink out of Mitchell's hand] You're never off the court!

Quote from Jay

Jay: There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange, mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke. Though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns. And more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: I'm back. Okay, let me see, let me see, let me see!
Claire: [to construction workers] You guys are want to, um... [they put on their ear defenders]
Cameron: [loudly, high-pitched, o.s.] Oh, my God! I love it!
Claire: All clear. Okay so--
Cameron: [squeals twice] So good! It is so good! [squeals]

Quote from Haley

Haley: Hey, dad, I can't find my scarf, and the closet light's burnt out.
Phil: So just change it.
Haley: I can't reach it.
Phil: Oh, if only there was some magical way of getting up closer to the ceiling.
Haley: Okay, now you just sound like Dylan.
Phil: I'm saying get a step stool.
Haley: Whoa, whoa, whoa. One thing at a time, okay?

Quote from Jay

Gloria: Ay, there he is. Manny, why did you have breakfast alone outside?
Manny: I felt like eating breakfast alfresco.
Jay: Does that mean he had his pants off? Because if I can't, he can't.
