- Quotes
Jay Pritchett: Can I ask you a question? Why are you have such a big thing anyway?
Mitchell Pritchett: Well, because we're only getting married once.
Jay Pritchett: I'm just saying, why do you need to make it into a spectacle?
Mitchell Pritchett: [Offended] A s-a spectacle?
Jay Pritchett: This could be the universe's way of telling you to bring it down a notch. Invite your family, your friend Pepper, and, what's his name, the-the-the flouncy one? Uh, L'David?
Mitchell Pritchett: I don't have a flouncy friend named L'David, Dad.
Cameron Tucker: Do-do you mean L'Michael or J'Marcus? I'm not sure who you're referring to.
Jay Pritchett: Whatever. I'm just saying keep it small. Why pay all that money for people you barely know?
Mitchell Pritchett: Oh, oh, you mean like any of *your* friends?
Jay Pritchett: [laughing] Oh please, you don't want any of my friends there.
Mitchell Pritchett: Really? Because I've - I've been asking for a list for months now. So, so who doesn't want them there - me or you?
Jay Pritchett: Why are you getting upset?
Mitchell Pritchett: Because, Dad, if-if this was Claire's wedding, you would be all over it. You'd be wanting to have it at your club. You'd be inviting all your friends.
Jay Pritchett: Oh, please! I wasn't that thrilled when Claire got married, either.
Gloria Delgado-Pritchett: 'Either'? For God's sake, just stop talking.
Jay Pritchett: Everybody back off. I don't think I'm out of line suggesting my friends don't want to see a father-son dance at a big gay wedding.
Mitchell Pritchett: [Scoffs] There is no father-son dance, Dad.
Jay Pritchett: I don't know what things go on there. Do I walk you down the aisle? Does someone throw a bouquet? I mean, I'm just saying, I don't know how this stuff plays out with my guys from the club.
Mitchell Pritchett: Oh, you mean the guys who sit around the locker room watching football naked? No! No! See, this-this isn't about them. This is about *you*. You are the one that's uncomfortable here!
Jay Pritchett: Fine. I admit it. This whole wedding thing is weird to me.
Mitchell Pritchett: [after a shocked silence] Wow.
Jay Pritchett: Now, see, why do *you* get to be you, but *I* don't get to be me? See, I didn't choose to be uncomfortable. I was born this way!
Mitchell Pritchett: Are you really throwing a gay anthem in our face right now?
Jay Pritchett: Oh, damn it. Give me some credit. You know how far I've come. I mean, what more do you want from me?
Mitchell Pritchett: You know what, Dad? Y-You do. You get to be you. If-if it really makes you that uncomfortable, then... don't come to the wedding.
