Gloria: I thought one of the advantages of marrying an older guy was that I was going to be able to relax. But all of this swimming and running and rowing, it’s just like how some of my relatives got into this country!

Mitchell: It’s Cameron’s turn to be out in the world interacting with other grown-ups while I get to stay at home and plot the death of Dora the Explorer. [mumbling] Fill her backpack with bricks, and throw her into Candycane River…
Phil: What’s my coaching philosophy? Give a kid a bird and he becomes one of those weird dudes that walks around with a bird on his shoulder. But give him a pair of wings? He can fly…
… unless he has absolutely no hand-eye co-ordination.

Phil: I always felt bad for people with emotionally distant fathers- It turns out I’m one of them. It’s a miracle I didn’t end up a stripper.

Phil: [After he and Mitchell pop a lock on a window of Mitchell & Cameron’s house, of which they are locked out] If you show enough houses you learn all the tricks. Every Realtor is just a ninja in a blazer. The average burglar breaks in and leaves clues everywhere, but not me…I’m completely clueless.

Phil: Okay, huddle up everybody. Your mother’s right. She’s the quarterback of this family and we need to protect her like Blind Side did.
Luke: She just said that mom was Blind Side.
Phil: She’s confused. Blind Side was the black kid who played Tight End.
Alex: Offensive Line.
Phil: Sorry, African-American kid.

Gloria: Are you sure there’s not an “E-I” in the middle?
Manny: No its “I-E”.
Gloria: Good, Papi. If I can’t fool you, then your teachers can’t fool you either.
Manny: I don’t think they’re trying to fool me.

Claire: Gloria is right. You being emotionally closed off makes it very difficult for your children to show affection.
Jay: Really?
Claire: Yes.
Jay: You have trouble showing affection in public places?
Claire: Yes.
Jay: You?
Claire: [changes tone] Yes.
Jay: Was that before or after you were delivered to my door wearing nothing but your underwear and a police blanket?
[The kids walk in]
Haley: Oh my god, what?!
Alex: You were arrested?
Luke: Awesome!
Claire: Not awesome! And I wasn’t arrested. Your grandfather was just telling a joke.
Jay: It was just a joke. [whispers to Claire] I got a million of ‘em.
Claire: Dad…

Hayley: Oh, I’m sorry, were you trying to read?
Alex: You’re the one who tries to read.
Hayley: Oh, my gosh! I am not that stupid!
Alex: Seriously, Hayley, you think you are the coolest person ever!
Hayley: Would you please stop just judging me and everything that I do?!
Alex: Look at me! I’m so cool! (The girls kept arguing until Luke stops it.)
Luke: ENOUGH! ENOUGH! I AM SO SICK OF YOU TWO FIGHTING ALL THE TIME! YOU’RE A BAD BIG SISTER, AND YOU’RE A BAD LITTLE SISTER! And you’re both bad big sisters to me. Be normaler.

Mitchell: We’re interviewing prospective mothers for adoption.
Cameron: It’s quite an ordeal. You want to look good, make a good first impression. It’s kind of like going on a first date.
Mitchell: Actually, it’s the opposite of a first date. You don’t want to have sex, but you do want to have a baby.

Gloria: [Yelling on the phone in Spanish] Yes! Auntie! Yes! You’re 73 years old, not 20! Of course, but I’m in the United States so kill yourself! Kill yourself, because I don’t care!
[laughs]
Gloria: Ok, yes! I love you! Muah! Muah! Muah!
[hangs up]
Manny: I understood “crazy old witch,” “go kill yourself,” then “I love you.”
Jay: I’ll never get this; how you all yell at each other.
Gloria: That’s how you know that your family loves you, when they feel free to scream at you.
