Quotes 

• Manny Delgado : Luke, I need you for this. You're sneakier than I am. You're a bigger liar. You have no moral compass.

  Luke Dunphy : Look, thanks for all the compliments, but breaking into one stupid party? That's not even a challenge.

  Manny Delgado : Oh, no. Three bar mitzvahs?

  Luke Dunphy : Now it's interesting.

• Luke Dunphy : So you missed one dance.

  Manny Delgado : It wasn't just a dance, it's the start of the whole dance season.

  Luke Dunphy : It's like you never hear boys talk.

• Manny Delgado : She's not here. We have the wrong bar mitzvah.

  Luke Dunphy : Not if you like prime rib, bubbie.

  [seeing his look] 

  Luke Dunphy : You said to blend. I picked up some expressions at the latke station. P.S., they're hash browns.

• Manny Delgado : Oh, my god. Did you see that? She smiled at me.

  Luke Dunphy : People get that way in dance season.

  Manny Delgado : No girl's ever smiled at me like that. Luke, we have to go to that bar mitzvah.

  Luke Dunphy : Why?

  Manny Delgado : There was a connection. I know this sounds crazy, but I feel like my whole life has led to this moment.

  Luke Dunphy : You made a very similar speech to get my mom to stop for those churros.

• Manny Delgado : How can she not be here, either? This is hopeless.

  Luke Dunphy : Have a little faith. Did the Jews give up when the Egyptians chased them to the banks of the Red Sea?

  Manny Delgado : How do you know all this stuff?

  Luke Dunphy : Was I the only one listening to Uncle Menachem's toast?

  Manny Delgado : Well, I'm glad it worked out for the ancient Jews, but at the moment, I don't see God doing me any...

  Luke Dunphy : [spotting Manny's crush and her friends]  Look!

  Security Guard : [stopping him as he approaches her]  I'm not gonna embarrass you, but you got one minute to get out of here. You, too.

  Luke Dunphy : It's for the best. All this sneaking around was kind of weighing on me. Let's just grab our gift bags and go.

  Manny Delgado : No. I still have 50 seconds.

  [approacing his crush] 

  Manny Delgado : Excuse me. Hi. My name is Manny Delgado, and I've been searching for you since you smiled at me in the lobby today; maybe even my whole life. It's too late for us to have the magical night I was hoping for, but it's not too late for us to have a memento of what might have been. I'll be waiting.

  [leaving, he heads into the photo; after a moment, she smiles and follows him]
