Now, for the last five years, Gil Thorpe has hosted, but as luck would have it, he’s having a sketchy-looking polyp remove. so they’ve asked me to …”Phil in.”
See what I did?
Oh,yeah.
Phil, You think I should open with that?
You betcha. You should.
Phil is gonna bomb. It’ s not that he’s not fun. He is so fun. He’s just not funny. It’s probably my fault. Because I laugh at all of his jokes. With my mouth not with my eyes.
I see the great realtor Margaret Wilson is here, looking more curvaceous than ever， talk about your balloon payment.

i'll watch it today.
Fine. I’m gonna play some golf.
No. What about Mirabel’s daughters Quinceanera?
I honestly didn’t get any of that.
Okay.
Mirabel. She works for you, Her daughter, Rosalba, is celebrating her Quinceanera her 15th birthday. She incited us. You just going to ignore it.
Of course not. I get this all the time. I throw it on my secretary’s desk. And she sends them a Omaha steak.
Ay, Jay.
What?
Manny’s right. The Quinceanera is very important in the Latin Culture. The moment the father dances with his little princess. Ay, I remember my own father holding my hand. There wasn’t a dry eye in the cartel.在场无不泪流满面
But these people don’t want me there. See, they’re just being polite. I’m the boss.
That’’s what you tell yourself so you can stay ahove them. You just throw them an “Obama” steak and run to the golf course.
I’m not trying to stay above them. I just don’t think I have to go all “arriba, arriba”with them.
Because you’re better than them?
No, of course not. I mean, I’m better than some of them.
Do you even know these people, Jay, hmm? Or they’re just the backs you step on?

so,Cam has started working out again. Which is it’s great. He’s feeling good about himself, and I want to be healthy. So it’s all good. Except for one thing.
Knock, knock. Look who’s there.
Maybe there’s a person in this world who looks good in bike shorts. But my boyfriend is not that person.and I can’t tell him because he gets incredibly sensitive about even the tiniest comment concerning his physique.
hey, I think I’m gonna take this spin class tomorrow morning.
oh, sure.

You’ve never heard of troga? You never tried octopus? You never did this amazing thing? I’ve just discovered yesterday, but I pretend like I’ve done my whole life?

what is your deal today? 你今天吃错药了？
I’m sorry. Phil is hosting that thing tonight, and he’s been writing jokes.
ooh, yikes. 哎呀
I know. And I’m worried he’s gonna humiliateself in front of all those important people.i can’t say anything because-
No,no, I get it. I get it. I get it. Because it would hurt him even more coming from you. You know, I’m kind of going through something similar with Cam right now.
Why?
He’s started exercising again.
Well, that’s good for him.
Yeah, he’s wearing bike shorts.
That’s bad for you.
And I’m the last person who can say anything, because he’s… okay, wait. No, no. all right. You know the movie “Strangers on a train”?
Hm, I never saw it.
You’ve never seen “strangers on a ..” i’m sorry. Great film. But it’s these guys who both discover that they want someone out of their lives. So one of the guys proposes the perfect crime. Then will do each other’s murders. We should do that.
All right. so I would tell Cam to lose the bike shorts?
Keeping me out of it. And I tell Phil to lose the jokes.
I like it. I’m in.
All right.
I am in.

Hey, Mackenzie. Stop it. It’s Alex. Hey, so I was thinking later we’d— oh, no. whatever you want. Call me later! Or I’ll call you later, or—
So , who’s Mackenzie?
You don’t know her.
Oh, I know Mackenzie. Cute. Popular. I am Mackenzie. I invented Mackenzie. And the way she’s making my sister run around… it's kind of funny, but… I can’t have it, it’s bad for the family.
What are you doing? I was about to call—
Mackenzie? Yeah, I know. Now shut up and let me help you. The world is divided into two groups— cool girls and girls like you. and you have been given a rare opportunity to move from the former to the latter.
The latter to the former.
Whatever. Oh, my god. You’re such a geek. Now, do you want to be smart, or do you want to be popular? I think I want to be popular.
Of course you do.
You just can’t be so obvious about it.
You’ve given Mackenzie way too much power, and you need to take some power back.
it’s her.
Here’s what you’re gonna say—“ hey, Mackenzie. I’m busy. Call me back later.” Then you hang up.
No way.
Then you’re not getting the phone back.
Just give it to me.
"Hey, Mackenzie. I’m busy. Call me back later.”then you hang up.
I can’t.
Do it.
Okay! Damn you.
Hey, Mackenzie. I’m busy. Call me back later. That was hard.
If it was easy, everyone would be popular.
Knock knock!
Come on in! It’s open!
I just wanted to drop off these old baby clothes for lily.
Oh, that’s right. You’re so sweet. I hope I didn’t come at a bad time.

So, have you given any thought to what you might say?
Oh, actually. I’m trying not to think about my act right now. I’m kind of fighting the old butterflies, to be honest.

Oh, can’t believe I ever bought this for Alex. I wish somebody had said something.
Oh, come on. That was probably cute 10 years ago.
No,no. It never was. And you know— I’m the exact same way about my clothes. Most of the time, great. But every now and again, there’s one outfit. I just wish smoebody would be honest with me and say.”what you’re wearing is inappropriate.” Do you know what I mean?
I think I do,Claire. I think I do. and my answer is yes.
Okay.
I would love to dress you,
No. It— I don’t want you to dress me.
No, and I owe it to you to be honest, so I’m just gonna say that you need to lose the bicycle shorts.
excuse me?
They’re not working for you, Cam. Please don’t take this personally. I mean, nobody looks good in bike shorts, I just — I feel that I owe it to you to be honest. So, we’re good, right?
We’re great.
We’re great. You should probably just show yourself out. I hear— I hear some crying down the hallway.
Look at that. That’s a good dad. Because you’ve got a baby and you hear every little sound. I wouldn’t have— I wouldn’t have even noticed… crying.
Uh,okay. All right. All you need to know about this one is that Skip Woosnum is a well-known realtor and he’s old.
Got it.
Skip woosnum. Realtor. old. Here we go. I’m not saying realtor Skip Woosnum is old, but the first property he ever sold… was a cave.
you’re not, uh… not laughing.
Why aren’t you laughing, uncle Mitchell?
‘ Cause he doesn’t think it’s funny. Or maybe—maybe you don’t think I’m funny.
I just got it. Oh
That one’s kind of a thinker.(需要点脑力）
Yes.

I’m lucky only one turned around. (还好只有一个人回头-意思是他喊了一个常见的名字碰运气）
Listen—I need a favor. I overestimated the number of people I know at this party. So you go around, introduce yourself, and I’ll hear the names.
You realize you’re asking me to help prove my own mother wrong.
I’ll pay two bucks per introduction. 每介绍一次我付两美金
All right, well. That’s Ramona.
She’s crazy for bingo.

I mean, she’s gonna tell me how to dress?! She ought to stick to things she knows more about. Like overcooking salmon.她该干她擅长的。
So, she actually said that you don’t look good in bicycle shorts?
Yes.
you don’t look good in bicycle shorts.
Madness.
Oh, and here she is.
Okay, you know what? I can’t be here. I’m going out for some air.
Yes. Yes, go. This —this could get ugly. hello, Claire.
You are a gutless weasel.
Oh,yeah, no. I heard what you said to my boyfriend. You told Phil he was hysterical! You said he was the generation’s Richard Pryor!
Well, I am not the one that you need to apologize to.
What are you babbling about? You owe me a murder.
Okay,Claire, I c— I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t crush Phil’s dreams.
We had a deal, I told Cam about the bike shorts.
No! No! The deal was to get Cam to take off the bike shorts. But guess what— he is still in stupid bike shorts. Can I call you back? Turns out Cam was here the whole time, and he just heard everything I said.
Ooh. Did he just run into the bedroom and cry?
Oh, yes, ’cause that’s what all gay men do. We all dissolve into—你认为所有基佬都这样？
Yes,that Is what he did.
There are challenging moments in every marriage. Um… having to tell your husband that he’s not funny so that he won’t humiliate himself. has to be one of the toughest. so I went a different way.

Stop talking. I just need some time for this wound to become a scar. I’m sorry I got Claire incolved, but— and this is not a criticism, but sometimes you can be a little sensitive about your… appearance.
Well, this is a criticism— sometimes you cane insenstive about everything.
I just can’t— I just feel like our relationship’s strong enough to survive a little candor.
I mean, look, you could tell me if there’ something about me you’d like to change.
I hate your beard. Well,you had that bullet in the chamber.
I never said anything because I never wanted to hurt you. But I’ve always found you beard off-putting.
See? Hurts.
Mitchell? Mitchell, get back here.
What are you doing?
I’m shaving off the beard.
Seriously?
Yeah, well, the man I love doesn’t like it, so off it goes.
Well…great.
Good.
Great. Okay. One. Two. Three.
Wait. The fact that you’re willing to do it is enough for me. I love your beard. I love that when you drink cappuccino you get foam in it, and when you’re nervous, your little… hairs twitch.
well, you couldn’t have told me before took a notch out?
I’m sorry. I—I— listen. I know… I can be touchy about… this. But you’re this amazing-look guy, and—
I am not amazing-
Really? I wouldn’t change anything.
You should know that every day, I wake up very grateful to have you in my life, I’m the one who got lucky, handsome. Maybe I just don’t show it enough.
Well, you can make it up to me by doing my shoulders.
Sure.
I meant a massage. What are you saying?
Oh, Mitchell. Mitchell.

I didn’t have my jokes. What choice does a guy have but to play it straight?… the support of my family, and Gil Thorpe’s colon.
But Phil Dunphy is no straight guy. So many giants of residential real estate here tonight. And, of course,J.J. McCubbin. I’m not saying J.J. is small, but in the realty section, he was described as “Charming.” Mark Simon, you out there? There’s Mark. How are you buddy?

Seriously, you were so freaking funny, Phil. I have seen professional comedians. Who could never have done that. You were unbelievable—
I know it was you, Claire. You stole my index cards.
I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I thought I was protecting you. And if my plan had been successful, I would have robbed you of the greatest night ever. I’m sorry. I’m awful.
You’re not awful.
Claire, I love that you’re looking out for me. And know why you worry about me. But I know I had this tonight.
I know. Sometimes I just think my job is to make sure you guys don’t fall on your face.
That’s a hard job in the Dunphy house.
I know.
Maybe your real jo is to be the person who picks us back up, nobody does that better than you,
