Claire: Your kids don’t need to know who you were before you had them. They need to know who you wish you were and they need to try to live up to that person. They’re gonna fall short but better they fall short of the fake you, than the real you.
Phil: Which is why we don’t hide anything.
Claire: That is the opposite of what I just said.
Phil: I was not listening.

Jay: Back in ‘68 when I was sweeping up hair in that barber shop, I had this mental picture of the family that, if I was lucky enough, one day I would end up with. Perfect wife, perfect kids. Guess what? I didn’t get any of that. Wound up with this sorry bunch. And I’m thankful for that every day. Well… most days.

Cameron: There’s nothing gays hate more than when people treat us like women. We’re not. We don’t want to go to your baby shower. We don’t have a time of the month. We don’t love pink.
Mitchell: You love pink.
Cameron: No, pink loves me.

“I love working with Ty Burrell so much. He can do big so fantastically, but he can do tiny and small, and I never, ever, ever know what he’s going to do next. He’s the real deal.”— Julie Bowen on her TV husband
“Julie is the best teammate I’ve ever had, and I used to be a delusional athlete. And including those days, I’ve never had a teammate who was more of a gamer.”— Ty Burrell on his TV wife

Phil: “Guys, I can’t go to Vegas because my wife’s freaking out!” Trust me, that is not a phone call you want to make to a bunch of ex-college male cheerleaders. They will mock you with a hurtful, rhythmic taunt.

Phil: Half way through dinner I told Claire that when ever she had the ugre to lash out at her mother she just should just squeeze my hand instead. A doctor had to cut off my wedding ring.
