Gloria : Bravo! Bravo, Manny, bravo!

Jay : Well, when I heard Manny wanted to fence, I was like, "sure. uncoordinated kid, lethal weapon... How can this go wrong?" Gloria : And what do you think now?
Jay : I'm proud of our little Zorro. I mean, I worked with him a little, but the kid's got skills.
Gloria : It's in his blood. His father was a master swordsman. He was an artist with his sword. I mean, the way he throws the sword... I mean, he was legendary.
Jay : You know, this nice moment I'm having with your son... You're... Kind of wrecking it.
Gloria : Sorry.

Alex : Did you know that fencing goes back to the 12th century?
Haley : You know what's even nerdier than fencing? Knowing when it began.
Luke : I don't think you're a nerd, Alex.
Alex : Shut up, dork.
Jay : All right! That's my boy!
Mitchell : Would this be easier if we suspended you from a crane?

Cameron : Any monkey can shoot a home movie. I pride myself on shooting home films.
Mitchell : Yeah, but, Cameron, you always just take things a little too far.
Cameron : No, I don't.
Mitchell : Okay, your nephew's first birthday. Cameron : That's not fair.
Mitchell : You brought a wind machine.
Cameron : To be fair, my vision was...
Mitchell : Cameron, you brought a wind machine. Cameron : Who puts wheels on cribs?

Elena: That's my brother!
Gloria : Mi tigre! Mi tigre! Yes! Ay, sorry. Sorry.
Phil : That's okay.
Haley : No! No, no, no, no, no! My phone died!
Alex : No biggie. Your battery probably just statically defracticated.
Haley : What?
Alex : It means you can recharge it with static electricity. Just rub it on your hair.
Jay : Yes! You know, I used to go to the houses of my friends, And it used to bug me, their kids you know?, Because there was never a trophy in my house. Not until this one.
Phil : That's a good grip ! Can we switch seats?
Mitchell : Cam, people are staring.
Jay : I know you're not supposed to care, but it's kind of cool to have a kid in your house who's the best at something, you know what I mean?
Phil : Mm-hmm.

Phil : Yeah, our kids are great.
Claire : They're the greatest.
Phil : Gosh, we're blessed.
Claire : We are. But, um... Are they the best at something? I'd have to think about that.
Phil : Well, Alex is great at every single thing she tries, So, you know, she'll find her specialty.
Claire : She will. And... and Haley is...
Phil : Haley is so pretty.
Claire : Gorgeous.
Phil : Oh, gosh. Gorgeous girl. I mean... So, she can meet someone who's the best at something.
Claire : That's right.
Phil : And then, I guess that leaves Luke. We dropped the ball a little bit on that one.
Claire : Yeah, a little bit.

[Gloria & Elena say something in fast Spanish]
Jay : All right! What they said.
Claire : Wow. This means more to dad than it does to Manny. Mitchell : Yeah, it's his chance to be, you know, father of a champion. Well, second chance. But we all know how the first time went.
Claire : Did I say something wrong?
Mitchell : No. No. I'm... I'm very happy for Manny, that's all. Everything's not always about Claire. Geez.
Jay : I want to thank you guys for coming by and supporting the kid. You guys are the best.
Phil : Why, Claire?!
Claire : Come on, sweetie.
