Quotes 

• Alex Dunphy : [Quoting from 'Phil's-osophy]  'Older black ladies make the best ice tea'.

• Claire Dunphy : Okay, we gotta hit the road. Give your sister a hug goodbye.

  Haley Dunphy : [Hugging Alex]  Don't dork up our room.

  Alex Dunphy : Don't slut up your college.

  Haley Dunphy : [pause]  Seriously, though, don't study too hard, okay?

  Alex Dunphy : I'm totally going to have fun. I'm Iceland in the mock U.N.

  Haley Dunphy : Mom, we're gonna lose her.

  Claire Dunphy : I am doing my best.

• Claire Dunphy : Luke, come say goodbye to your sister.

  Luke Dunphy : [wearing a mask of Megatron]  I'm right here. Bye, Haley. Have fun. Don't drink too much beer and shots of tequila.

  Haley Dunphy : Why are you wearing that mask?

  Luke Dunphy : Uh, I-I like it.

  Claire Dunphy : He doesn't want you to see him cry.

  Alex Dunphy : He's literally masking his emotions.

  Luke Dunphy : No!

  Phil Dunphy : That's so sweet.

  Haley Dunphy : Come here.

  [Thinking] 

  Haley Dunphy : Yeah, thank you.

• Phil Dunphy : If I could just have everyone's attention real quick. Um, on this wonderful occasion - our daughter leaving tomorrow for college - if I could get everyone to raise their glass as I quote from one of our nation's great fathers: Jefferson. George Jefferson. 'I never dreamed that one of my own would be going off to a university. But here I stand, a proud black man, knowing that all those hours I put in at the dry cleaner-'

  Claire Dunphy : Phil.

  Phil Dunphy : Not now, Weezie. Where was I?

  Haley Dunphy : Quoting that president.

  Alex Dunphy : Okay, if *she's* the future of America, we should start using Chinese money now.
