Alex Dunphy : You're kidding, right? You cannot really be enjoying that stupid show.
Claire Dunphy : I was changing channels. God. Why are you so mean lately? Is something going on with you?
Alex Dunphy : Is it that obvious?
Claire Dunphy : Oh, my gosh. Come on. You can talk to me.
Alex Dunphy : Well...
Claire Dunphy : Mm-hmm?
Alex Dunphy : There's this girl at school, and...
Claire Dunphy : Mm-hmm.
Alex Dunphy : She got pregnant.
Claire Dunphy : [Gasps] No.
Alex Dunphy : I know. I've been trying to help her, but with all the pills she's taking, she kinda lashes out.
Claire Dunphy : Oh, honey, this is too much for you to take on alone. Where are the parents?
Alex Dunphy : They're no help. Dad's all consumed with his plastic surgery business, and her mom's an ex-model who's trying to launch a music career.
Claire Dunphy : You're describing the show I was just watching, right?
Alex Dunphy : I'm just saying, mix in a book every now and then.
Claire Dunphy : [Throws popcorn at her as she leaves] Mean! Mean!

Alex Dunphy : [Watching Claire do a crossword puzzle] Wrong.
Claire Dunphy : I am thinking.
Alex Dunphy : If you were thinking, you wouldn't have Seattle as the capital of Washington.
Claire Dunphy : Oh. Yeah. It's Spokane.
Alex Dunphy : Sure, which makes the 11th President of the United States 'James K. Pslk.'
Claire Dunphy : Okay, Alex, stop. I'm trying to figure this out.
Alex Dunphy : [Waits one second] Buzz! Time's up, dummy. It's Olympia.
[to Luke, who's looking at the back of a cereal box]
Alex Dunphy : Make sure you sound out the big, scary words.
[Smacks his head into the box and walks away laughing]
Luke Dunphy : Mom, something's on my mind, and it's really bothering me.
Claire Dunphy : Yeah, it's really bothering me, too, but I think it's gonna be rich, so we better be nice to it.

Claire Dunphy : Alex, come say hi to your sister! I love you so much.
Alex Dunphy : What's up, lady?
Haley Dunphy : Oh, my god. You did not just say 'What's up, lady?'. What's wrong with you?
Alex Dunphy : I was just saying hello ...
Haley Dunphy : Oh, it's like the lamest thing you've ever said. And what is that shirt? What are you, a flapper?
Alex Dunphy : I just bought it at that store that you ...
Haley Dunphy : Oh, where? Forever 1921? And what is going on with your hair?
Alex Dunphy : What's wrong with my hair?
Haley Dunphy : Oh, you should just dip yourself in boy repellent.
Alex Dunphy : Shut up! Mom!
Claire Dunphy : [Straightening a picture in the hall] And balance... is restored.

Phil Dunphy : [Woken in the middle of the night by an explosion] Is everybody okay?
Claire Dunphy : I'm fine. Thanks for waiting.
Alex Dunphy : What was that?
Phil Dunphy : Water heater, gas line - the training's the same, people. Just stay low and move out!
Claire Dunphy : Honey, Luke's gone.
Phil Dunphy : Claire, spontaneous human combustion is very rare.
Claire Dunphy : I don't think he exploded, Phil.
Luke Dunphy : [Coming in from outside] The rope ladder works. At least *someone* followed protocol.
