Fears

Modern Family 1×16

& Mitchell: What I fear most? Hmm, let’s see.
    Alex: Global warming. And getting a “b.”
    Claire: The phone ringing in the middle of the night.
    Phil: That I’m too much of a perfectionist.
    Claire: Honey, this isn’t a job interview.
    Phil: Oh, man. Job interviews!
    Jay: Nothing.
    Gloria: Yeah, right. What about the pigeons?
    Jay: Oh, I don’t like them. They’re shifty.
    Cameron: Losing Mitchell.
    Mitchell: Oh! Hotel bedspreads.
    Haley: Never getting my driver’s license. Or getting one and the picture sucks.
    Manny: ... Dying alone.

& Phil: You never want your kids to see you scared. You want to be that rock that they can grab a hold of in a stormy sea. Actually, a rock would sink, so a floating rock.

& Cameron: Well, it’s just nice to see you out of your lab coat. You actually have quite a nice figure.
    Mitchell: Take it down a notch. We’re just trying to make a friend, not initiate a three-way.
    Cameron: Oh.

& Mitchell: Well... Her first word was every gay father’s worst nightmare.
    Cameron: Mommy...

& Gloria: Manny, you have to face your fears. ...
    Manny: I don’t want to go on the roller coaster.
    Gloria: Manny, you were afraid to light the barbecue, but now your eyebrows have grown back. And your salmon is legendary.

& Phil: Those are things you get over, but then there’s our children. Will they fit in? Will they be safe? Those are fears you never get past. So, sometimes, all you can do is take a deep breath, pull them close, and hope for the best.
