So I’m (technically) on vacation today, and my colleague Ken Tucker is handling recap duties for last night’s Manny-centric Modern Family. Click here to check out his take, but in the interim, I had to share my five favorite lines from “En Garde.” In descending order (drumroll please) they are:5) “I saw a ghost.” –Luke, failing to help Phil seal the deal on his real-estate sale
4) “Cam, no!” (needs no explanaysh)
3) “Haley is so pretty. So she can meet someone who’s the best at something.” –Phil, pondering his not-so-bright daughter’s future
2) Gloria explaining Manny’s natural aptitude for fencing: “It’s in his blood. His father was a master swordsman. He was an artist with his sword! I mean, the way he throws the sword, I mean, he was legendary.”
1) “I’m fairly confident that Dad’s proudest moment was when you finally took off the flame-red unitard.” –Claire, discussing the end of Mitchell’s skating career
What did you think of last night’s show? Did I miss anyone’s favorite quips? Then by all means, share below!

“I didn’t have a trophy in my house…until THIS one!”
Cameron to Mitchell: “you did it – you managed to make figure skating sound gayer”.
And:
Cameron to Mitchell: “hurtful and bubbly”
Absolutely loved Cam’s … “Wow, you did it …..gayer” line… I had to stop tivo and laugh for a couple of minutes….
“Who puts wheels on a crib?”
This was my fav too! Mainly because after he said he had some major ‘crazy eyes’ going on. Clearly a sore spot for poor Cam, lol
We rewound it three times just to see the eye movement. Absolutely hilarious.
Fire and Nice!
oh…and Alex….I love that kid, reminds me of myself. Rub it on your hair……
“I was ‘fire’, because of my red hair, and Claire was ‘nice’ because she wasn’t, and it was ironic” best line!
“I’m charging my IPod”
Not lines, per se, but the whole build up to Manny’s fencing final was the funniest thing I’ve seen on a sitcom in ages. “Are you going to take her out for ice cream afterwards?” “We can’t; she’s diabetic.” “Of course she is.”
Lol, agreed!
All of those scenes were hilarious.I like when they were leaving and won the trophy.they were trying to hide Manny’s trophy.
“ALEX!”
(in response to her static electricity/mouth recharging phone tips)
The t-shirt that Jay made for Claire: “Claire and Present Danger”
YES! It made me wonder if I’ve missed hidden gems like that in the past.
Speaking of hidden gems, make sure you go to abc.com for Dylan’s video/song.
“That’s really as loud as I can go.”
“I’m going to drink your milkshake.”
I wondered last night if enough people had seen There Will Be Blood to get that line. I worried that more people would think of that awful song.
I got it, and I was saying “I drink your milkshake!” all day, haha
Oh, by far the best line! I had to pause the DVR, I was laughing so hard. It was such an unexpected (and awesome) reference, and the way the guy who plays Phil delivered it…classic.
missed your recaps Michael opn this and Cougar Town
“that’s really as loud as I can go”
HAHAHAHA
Something like “Guilt fades, but hardware is forever.” Hee hee!
I think the “Claire and Present Danger” t-shirt was hilarious! I loved the fact that they kept it under the radar as well, they didn’t have Claire point out that she had her own special t-shirt and ruin the joke. Man, I wish I could have my own t-shirt but my name isn’t that easy to work with. *Sigh*
I hear you on that sister!
I love this show!It is awesome. I love “The Middle” and “Cougar Town” as well.. Can’t stand “Hank”.
I totally agree. Hank is such a waste of TV time, The Middle and Cougartown on the other hand are so funny. It’s like Wednesday is the day to show all the programs with old actors who were funny a long time ago…but when was Fraiser ever funny?
