Quotes 

• Claire Dunphy : I love you, Phil, but you...

  Phil Dunphy : Stop. I love your 'I love you'; I'm getting awful tired of your 'but'.

  [pause] 

  Phil Dunphy : I heard it.

• Alex Dunphy : Mom, I need to tell you something.

  Claire Dunphy : What is it, honey?

  Alex Dunphy : I distracted Haley while she was driving and we dented your car.

  Cameron Tucker : Fire!

  [Cameron's pumpkin sails across the football field and hits the dent in Claire's car] 

  Claire Dunphy : Ohh! Well, girls, three more seconds and you would have gotten away with it.

• Luke Dunphy : So Kenneth became a gajillionaire by asking himself 'What would Phil do'?

  Phil Dunphy : He sure did!

  [Rearranges centerpiece] 

  Phil Dunphy : Where did that come from? Right?

  Luke Dunphy : But you're *you*. Why aren't *we* gajillionaires? Why don't *you* do what Phil would do?

  Phil Dunphy : Um...

  Claire Dunphy : [Enters]  Phil, why didn't you just put the extras leaves in the table?

  Phil Dunphy : Trying to have some fun, be creative!

  Claire Dunphy : One long table, honey. If it was good enough for the Last Supper, it's good enough for us.

• Claire Dunphy : [as everyone tries to leave for the football field]  No, no, no! I did not just cook for eight hours so you people could run off to prove some asinine point that's only going to make half of us feel bad! Come on! Show a little respect.

  Jay Pritchett : [Everyone quietly sits at the table]  Turkey smells great, sweetheart.

  Phil Dunphy : Is that turkey? Because something smells like chicken.

  Claire Dunphy : [Stands back up]  Okay, let's settle this.

  [Everyone runs to the cars]
