it's so unfair. You told me I could go.
I told you could go if u got a B on your History exam, which u didn’t.
I have a learning disability. The letters jump around on the paper and appear backwards.
Honey, we had u tested like six times. Trust me, I was praying for dyslexia.
Oh, my god, why can’t u ever let me have any fun. Ew, ew. Dad, gross. Your hand smells like cheese!
I didn’t want to dirty a knife. Sit. Now, we all know when Nana Dede comes to visit, you mom can get a little…
Psycho?
Scary.
Drunk?
All true. Therefore, I need u guys to be on your best behavior.
Don’t worry, I’ll keep to myself. I have to practice for my cello recital.
Oh, fine. You know what? If it keeps you out of your mom’s hair, yes, do that. Luke, if your mom starts to lose it, I need u to lighten the mood by being extra cute.
No problem. I’ve got some stuff prepared. “Hey, mom, i’m firsty.” Heh? Adorable, right?
Yeah, that’s good.
Don’t worry. It works better in my jammies.

Cam, Monica can’t come to Lily’s birthday party this weekend. Her mom’s gonna be in Chicago.
Oh, that’s fantastic! What part is she playing?
The city of Chicago.
Okay. Gun to your head… which pair should I wear?
Oh, gun to my head. I’d say, pull the trigger.
What’ that supposed to mean?
No Fizbo.
Okay, why?!
Cam, the center of attention at Lily’s party should be Lily, nor Fizbo the needy clown.
I’m sorry. Excuse me. “Needy”?
“Why aren’t they laughing, Mitchell?””why aren’t they clapping when I’m pulling the handkerchief out of my mouth?”
It’s 10 feet long with boxer shorts at the end. It works on so many levels.
Yeah, well, also it’s princess theme party, so… I guess you just don’t respect party themes.
You did not just say that.
I’m sorry. That was crossing a line.
yes, it was. So? Can Fizbo come to the party?
No! No! You are Lily’s dad, just be there as her dad. Are u implying I’m not being a good dad now?

Oh, good.
And we bought Lily a beautiful birthday gift.
Yeah. I was pushing for a cashmere throw.
Look, jay. It’s a talking storybook. We record ourselves reading it, and then at night Lily can hear our voices before she goes to sleep.
Terrible idea.
Unlike the timelessness of cashmere.
Enough with the cashmere!
Why is it a terrible idea?
Don’t you remember the answering- machine message?
Hi, you’ve reached Jay…
And Gloria. Please leave a message after the…

Robbie… my Robbie Sullivan from high school? God, I haven’t seen him in ..years.
Decades, really. I always like him. And ask recall, the two of you couldn’t keep your hands off each other.
Ohh, really, mom.
That’s not true.
It is true, I read it in your diary.
You read my diary.
Well, year, I read it, because I wanted to see if u were on drugs. It’s called parenting, Claire.
So, mom. What’s going on with Chad.
Okay, buddy. We’re gonna need u on the front lines sooner than expected.
Are u ready to be cute?
Please.
Go get ‘em.
Hi, mommy. My tummy’s growling. Can I have some pas-ghetti?妈咪，人家小肚肚在叫呢

Hey, hobey, Who’s this.
This is…um, Robbie… my boyfriend from when I was 17 years old, whom my mom invited to dinner.
Fasten your seatbelts. Phil Dunphy.
Hey, Phil. Woe do you know Claire?
I know Claire from being married to Claire.
Wait a minute. Uh…
Mom didn’t mention that I’m married with three kids.
No, all she said was that you were still trying to figure out your life.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, mom?
Dede?
Aren’t we all?
Uh, no. not really. Why would you not mention that I’m married?
Oh, god, Claire. Not everything in a conversation is about u.

Nope. It’s nothing like that. The truth is, Luke. I am rich, but not with money. I’ve got my abs, I’ve got my hair, and I’ve got a super-sweet job driving that limo outside.
Cool.

I just don’t understand why you invited him to my house.
Because he’s an old friend. What was I gonna do …not invite him?
Yes. Yes.
Sweetheart, I don’t know about you, but that is not the way I was raised.
You raised me.
You’re overthinking this. I was thinking that it might be a hoot for u to see him again.
And did you think it might be a hoot to ask me first?
No. If i’f asked you, you would have said no.
Of course, mom. Of course I would have said no.
Oh. And I’m the bad guy.
Honestly, Claire. I wish I had a tape recorder.

“Once upon a time, there lived a family of bears. There was papa bear… “ that’s you, Jay.
Ah. Okay. Let’s see.
Do you want me to hold it and stand in the driveway?
“Holy mackerel, this is good salmon.” I feel like they missed an oppor...
I don’t want to eat the fish. They are my friends.
What kind of voice is that?
I am a bear.
A bear? I was gonna get a crucifix.
And then the baby bear said…
“Good night, mama. Good night, papa. This has been a best day ever.”
“And after she kissed her parents good night, she drifted off to sleep. The end.”
Well, well, well. She? Baby bear’s a girl? We have to do it over. I would have played it totally different.
I think you nailed it.
And what’s that supposed to mean?
Manny, you’re fine. Bur, Jay, I need to tell u something.
It’s a bear, Gloria. I did the best I could.
No. I don’t want you to get upset about this, but I’m not going to the party.
What?
Yeah, it’s because your ex-wife is going to be there, and we’re never good together. I’m feeling very nervous. It’s better that I stay here.
Wow, I don’t know what to say.
Greatest news ever!
So you’re okay with this?
Well. I wouldn’t say I’m okay with it, but I get it. I feel like I’m in the same boat with your friend’s daughter’s first communion coming up. I always felt like the husband never liked me. Maybe you’re right. I should probably skip it.

wait. Wait. Wait. So Robbie Sullivan’s at your house right now.
Yes, he is having dinner with my family.
And let me tell u something. This chick was fat.
Every time he opens his mouth, I can feel my daughters losing respect for me.
You know, I never like that guy. He used to always put me in a headlock. It is amazing the freaks we used to date.
“Ello, gov’nah!”
I gotta jump. All right. Let’s hear it.
Sir Fizbo-lot,royal court jester, at your service. I understand there’s a little princess oos in need of a jolly good time!
No!
Your ‘ighness said that the clown doesn’t fit the princess theme. But me finks that a court Jester is right as rain!
There goes the theory that an English accent makes everyone sound smart.
Oh, come on. It’s gonna be a boring party without any entertainment.
I agree, which is why I hired a princess. Cue the ‘gasp.
How could you do that? How dare u? Entertaining and delighting children is who I am.

I was thinking about what u said, and maybe I should go to the party.
What’d I say? I didn’t say anything.
About Maria Victoria’s fist communion. We cannot let other people make us miss important family events.
What?
I’m gonna miss Alex’s graduation, all of haley’s weddings, just because of Dede? I love them, they’re my family, too.
Whoa, whoa. Slow down. You’re up to weddings already? H-h-how about this? Try missing tomorrow, and then just see how that feels.
Ah, Jay. You’re so good to me.
That’s why I have to go. You’re gonna be there for me, the same way I’m gonna be there for u at Maria Victoria’s first communion.

Well, you know, we didn’t want to break curfew.

I love your stories, Nana. Keep on goin’.
Your father used to scare the crap out of me. 你老爸以前把我吓得屁滚尿流的
Well, evidently not enough to keep u from sneaking in 3:00 in the morning. I didn’t know whether to punish u or make u pancakes.
Halfway through dinner, I told Claire that whenever she had the urge to lash out at her mother, she should just squeeze my hand instead. A doctor had to cut off my wedding ring.

Yeah. Yes.
Do u remember what we did after that?
Yes.
Hey, do u still like roller coasters?
Not this one.
You know, Robbie was a rogue, but he could charm your socks off. Although I doubt he stopped there.
Wow, mom.
Mom?
We’re all adults here, honey, pretty much.
Okay, I think we’re done.
Yeah, well, I better get going. I’ve got an early-morning run, celebrity client. Don’t ask me who. Let’s just say that if I’m late, I’ll be in jeopardy.
Who is Alex trebek?
Uh, he’s a game-show host, why?
No reason. 没什么

Yes?
This was incredible. Thanks a lot. So great. It was so great. So good to see u.

Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
You know what hurt more?
What?
I used think your mother loved me. Apparently, she always wished you’d married Robbie.
Oh, no, sweetie. This is all about her trying to annoy me.
come on. She’s practically walking u two down the aisle.
Oh, he left his phone.
All those mother’s day cards I sent her… all those joke e-mail she forwarded to me months after I’d already seen them. Well, no more polite “LOLs” for u, Dede.
Oh!
Oh! Holy cow! Wow. Okay, well… u were right. It’s not about me.

U are princess…
Stop eyeing the princess. You’re gonna freak her out.
I don’t know. I think the whole idea of needing a prince to come along and make u happy, send the wrong message, Mitchell. I really do.
Really? And a grown man pulling boxer shorts out of his mouth doesn’t. I’m…
Hey.
Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
Hi. Hi, sweetie.
Hi, Phil.
So… where is she? Where’s mom?
Yeah, let’s get the weirdness over with.结束这场怪诞吧。
Oh, no, no. I haven’t seen mom since… let’s see… oh, she made out my ex-boyfriend last night.
What?
Yeah.
No. My god.
Yeah. Yeah. And then she took off with him, didn’t came back to the house until after I was asleep, and then this morning left a cute little note that said,”Hoaxing breakfast with Robbie!”
What’s the hell is she doing? He’s half her age! Son’t say it.
I think it’s sweet. Love is beautiful, it has no age. When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. That is the question.
Dad, what’s going on over there?
She was a little nervous about your mother being here, so she tried her first Xanax, washed it down with a shot of tequila.
Ah, look at the princess. It’s so beautiful.
Rally? ‘Cause I don’t see it.
Excuse me.
There’s the birthday girl.
Glitter. That’ll settle in her lungs. So, I wanted to ask what method of payment u prefer… cash, credit card, check?
Why. Princesses don’t get paid except maybe in laughter and sparkles.
That’s nice. But I really need to know.
All I ask is that a little girl’s birthday wishes… come true.
Miss, seriously, if u want to get paid, I need to..
Fine. You can make the check out to Party Stars Incorporated.
Never break charter. Never, ever.
But…

Oh, hi!
I cannot believe it. She brought him to the party!
Oh, my god! I’m gonna kill her. I’m gonna…
Stop. No, not now. The last thing I need is some big science, Claire.
You know, she’s doing this just to torture me.
No, no. she’s doing the to get back at us.
You’re both wrong. This is about me. I got the young girl, she had to get the young guy.
Well, she and I are good. We had a long talk last night, after you and I “split” that bottle of wine, and u “fell asleep” on the stairs.
I don’t know why everybody’s getting so upset about this. Maybe it’s about passion, about what the body wants, what the heart wants for the heart.
Dad, seriously, can u deal with Cheech and Chong?
Hi, everyone.
Jay, Gloria.
Oh, buenos dias, Dede… B-buenos…
Uh, yeah, yh, Gloria…come on.
That’s enough.
Hi, mom. Hi.
Oh, Mitchell. Mwah! Thank u for coming.
Oh! U remember Robbie.
Yes, Ido . Yes. Hi.
Oh! That’s lily. I guess u’re trying to keep the outfit I sent her clean.(讽刺儿子没给孩子穿自己买的衣服）
So, Robbie. It look like the years have been treating u good, huh?
Hey, what’s up, Red?
Okay, um…
I love this guy. Remember, we used to wrestle around all the time?
Yeah. Please stop. Is my baby watching?
Good to see u, man.
I need to talk to u for a second. Let me just… ask u a little something, what are u doing with my mother?
Hey, I’ve got a code. What happens in the limo stays in the limo.
She’s my mother.
Look, I know this is all a little freaky, but I had a crush on your mother back in high school and it’s always been kind of a fantasy for me.
You were dating me and fantasizing about my mother?
Ohh, boy.
What?
I think we both know what this is really all about
Uh, no.
You still want me.
Oh, my god. Are u insane?
What’s going on here, you two?
Claire still wants Me.
No. don’t.
Oh, I should’ve seen this coming. 早该知道了
Oh, really.
one minute she sees I’m happy, and she swoops in.
Don’t swoop. I didn’t swoop. If anybody swooped, it was u.
Claire, hush. Not now! Not now! No, stop, please.
She accused me of trying to steal my old boyfriend from her.
Okay, fine, but make it quick.
Why does everything have to be so hard with u? Why can’t u just be a normal old grandma?! Why do u come in here? It’s some sort of sick game for u to just push people and push people and push people and see how far u can push them! And so fine… look at me! You win! You win! I’m screaming at a princess party, mom!
Claire.
Robbie?
I think maybe, u know, u should take off.
Yeah, yeah, look, I hear u , Phil. But between u and me… I’m getting some serious vibes from the princess over here, and I’d kind of like to play that out.
Hey. Time to go.
Hey, Mr. P. How u been? I’m doing good. But I never liked u in the basement with my daughter, and I don’t like u here with my ex.
U know, your little intimidation game may have worked on me when I was a kid, but I’m a full-grown man now… and I think I should go.
So much for keeping it all about lily.
Well, yeah, and I certainly didn’t help by berating perfectly sweet journeyman princess like I did.
Oh, god, look at this place. Everyday’s traumatized. Oh, we need somebody to pump some life back into this party, huh?
I got this. I’ll go in and turn on some music, bring out the cupcakes, pump up the bubble machine.
Or…
Is that a roundabout way of saying a certain clown can come to the party?
I was wrong. Every kid wants a clown for a dad.
You just made a little girl very happy.
Yes, well, I can see that.

‘Cause u know Claire get stressed out. That stuff she said out there…
Was all ture.
Yeah.
I don’t know what I was thinking with him. i feel like such a fool.
You got flattered by the attention of a younger guy, and u got a little carried away. So what?
It’s not that. It’s… I divorced u, because I was looking for something else. I haven’t found it. But when I come back here, I feel like I have to prove something. Like people are looking at me, saying, “you broke up the family. What do you have to show for it?”
U did the right thing. We were stalled. I didn’t have the guts to end it.
That’s because u’re a decent man. And that doesn’t make it any easier. I just don’t want to be taught of as “crazy nana.” That’s not really who I am. I think, more than anything else, my real problem… is her!
Huh?
No, Dede!
