Quotes
-
Lily Tucker-Pritchett : It's a nightmare.
Mitchell Pritchett : Well, someone's picked up her daddy's gift for hyperbole.
-
Mitchell Pritchett : Cam, what are you doing up there?
Cameron Tucker : I came down to say goodbye to the tree, give it one final hug, and before I knew it, was up here.
Mitchell Pritchett : When you say "one final hug"...
Cameron Tucker : If I'm occupying the tree, they can't cut it down. I Googled it. It's a thing.
Mitchell Pritchett : Okay, Lily, see, this is a nightmare.
Lily Tucker-Pritchett : Tell me about it.
-
Cameron Tucker : Mitchell, I get two more shows! Kenny Van Heffington's toenail is infected!
Mitchell Pritchett : Just get up here, all right? The crew has to leave at dark, so you have until then.
Cameron Tucker : Easy peasy. Sweetie, tell Daddy what you thought of my performance.
Lily Tucker-Pritchett : Transcendent.
Mitchell Pritchett : Oh, jeez.
Cameron Tucker : Is this sap?
[he licks his hand like a cat licking its paw]

Cameron Tucker : They are literally chainsawing paradise to put up a parking lot.
Mitchell Pritchett : Oh, it's too bad.
Cameron Tucker : We have to do something.
Mitchell Pritchett : Well, if we knew earlier, we could.
Cameron Tucker : I blame myself. I've taken on too much.
Mitchell Pritchett : What exactly have you taken on?
Cameron Tucker : Are you kidding me? Teaching music? This dresser handle project? My role in the musical?
Mitchell Pritchett : Oh, that.
Cameron Tucker : You know what? I don't like your tone. The understudy's the most challenging role in any production. You have to be ready at a moment's notice to go on and face a disappointed audience who was there to see Kenny Van Heffington.
Mitchell Pritchett : Our insurance guy?
Cameron Tucker : He's breathtaking.
Mitchell Pritchett : Really?
Cameron Tucker : Yeah, I hate him. Anyway, what was I talking about?
Mitchell Pritchett : Putting new handles on the dresser.
Cameron Tucker : Right. The tree. I have to do something.
Lily Tucker-Pritchett : [trying to open a drawer with a spatula] I can't live like this.
