‘Three Turkeys’

Season 6, Episode 8 -  Aired November 19, 2014

With Phil cooking this year's Thanksgiving dinner with Luke as his sous chef, Claire secretly prepares a backup turkey. After their vacation to Mexico is canceled, Jay and Gloria decide to stay at home and not tell the family. Meanwhile, Mitchell is fed up of Cameron always appeasing Lily and making him play the role of "bad cop".

Quote from Claire

Claire: How's it going in here?
Phil: Great. You just take advantage of your first Thanksgiving not sweating over a hot stove and having to sit down to dinner all gross and grumpy and exhausted.
Luke: Yeah, this year, you can finally be in a good mood.
Claire: Well, I was until this little riff.

Quote from Manny

Luke: I still don't get why you passed up a free trip.
Manny: Because they're meeting twelve women who call my mom "la tranquila", the quiet one.

Quote from Phil

Phil: I know how hard it is for you to hand over the reins, but you have got to trust me.
Claire: I do trust you. It's just easy to forget the little things.
Phil: I'm not going to forget anything. Now go. [to Haley and Manny] You two need to run to the grocery store. I forgot green beans, yams, and cranberry sauce.

Quote from Alex

Alex: What's in the crib?
Claire: What crib? You're a crib. Shouldn't you be studying?
Alex: Well, I'm done with my midterms. I finished my college essay. And I was just about to go on a bike ride. Why are you acting so guilty?
Claire: You're guilty.
Alex: How did I ever get to be a champion debater?

Quote from Mitchell

Mitchell: Oh, my gosh. You got to be kidding me. Not this again.
Cameron: What? She said her eggs were watery, so I made her a waffle. Please don't make a thing out of it. I've seen you send food back. Remember that time in Miami?
Mitchell: Okay, first of all, this isn't a restaurant. Secondly, my bisque had a tooth in it.
Cameron: It was a shell.
Mitchell: There was a filling in it.

Quote from Manny

Manny: Long story short, if you pour it, it's cranberry sauce. But I'm sorry, if you slice it, it's cranberry jelly.
Haley: I'm literally driving as fast as this car can go.

Quote from Phil

Nigella Lawson: [on phone app] Now, Philip, cover the breast and legs with a buttered cheesecloth.
Haley: That thing's a little creepy.
Phil: You're a little creepy.

Quote from Claire

Claire: Do you ever feel jealous of them?
Alex: You do, too?
Claire: Oh, yeah, all the time. Please, while you and I are busy being responsible, thing one and thing two are off having so much fun.

Quote from Claire

Claire: You know, there's no reason you and I can't relax a little and have as much fun as they do.
Alex: I'm in. Let's be more like those idiots.
Claire: Yeah. Con-garage-ulations.
Alex: Nailed it.

Quote from Mitchell

Cameron: Mitchell, I will make it clear that she is not the boss.
[Lily honks the car horn incessantly]
Mitchell: Okay, well, no, no, we can't go out now.
Cameron: Okay, where did she learn that annoying habit?
Mitchell: Claire's been picking her up from meditation Mondays.
