Quotes 

• Jay Pritchett : I don't know what happened. Maybe it's what Robot Lincoln said about a man's duty or keeping the union together. Maybe I just chickened out. But I realized that staying with my kids was more important than leaving my wife. Now, that's not the right decision for everyone, but it was the right decision for me. So I stuck it out until they were grown.

  Gloria Delgado-Pritchett : [Offscreen]  Jay, you want to join me in the Jacuzzi?

  Jay Pritchett : And the universe rewarded me.

• Jay Pritchett : You know what the fight with DeDe was about? I taped a football game over an episode of 'Dallas'. Who bails on a family trip to Disneyland over something like that? Ironically, Dallas was playing in the game. And I remember pointing that out to her, and then I remember a video cassette flying at my head.

• Jay Pritchett : When Claire and Mitchell were young, their mom and I were gonna take them to Disneyland. But that morning, DeDe and I got in this huge fight over something or other - surprise, surprise - and I ended up taking them on my own. Claire's biggest fear was running into the Evil Queen. My biggest fear was that I married her.

• Jay Pritchett : Come on people! It's a robotic president! What's not to love?

  Luke Dunphy : A robotic president?

• Jay Pritchett : [Gets Lily baby high heels to keep her from running off]  Attagirl. You're welcome!

  Cameron Tucker : Look, your dad got her baby high heels, which we said we were never gonna let her wear.

  Lily Tucker-Pritchett : I love 'em!

  Cameron Tucker : You look gorgeous, sweetie.

  [Under his breath to Mitchell] 

  Cameron Tucker : Oh, my God. You felt people judged us before, wait till they meet little miss Anaheim.

  Mitchell Pritchett : Who cares? Look at her; she can barely move. Thank you, Dad.

  Jay Pritchett : You know what? She's got pretty good gams for a 3-year-old.
