- Jay Pritchett: That's it! I'm out! What the hell are we doing? Dancing around, telling secrets like girls at a slumber party. I can just imagine my old man with his buddies sitting in their lawn chairs, laughing their asses off that I missed a whole day of football 'cause I'm trying to get in touch with my emotions. These guys didn't do that crap. These were men! His best friend Tommy Ryan lost half a finger in a sheet metal press. Waited until his shift ended to go to the hospital. I broke my collar bone in a football game. There was Dad up in the stands giving me the old, "Be tough". So I played two more downs before I passed out. My date, Mary Jo Klumsky, left the senior dance with another guy. Broke my heart. 2 a.m. at the kitchen table, my old man's telling me, "Eat the sandwich and forget about her". Feelings!

- Jay Pritchett: I didn't even cry at his funeral. You believe that? The guy was my whole world. Not a tear. Everybody looking at me like... like I didn't love him. But he knew!
- [Sniffs, voice cracks]
- Jay Pritchett: He had to know, right?
- Gloria Delgado-Pritchett: [Rushes over to hug Jay] Of course he did.
- Jay Pritchett: Son of a bitch. That felt good, getting that out.
- Phil Dunphy: Wow.
- Claire Dunphy: I know. They just won therapy.
