Jay: What?!
Gloria: You can fly toy planes with Jay next time. Today you have to spend time with Luke.

Gloria: Aren't they like tiny little hands?
Jay: No! Okay, now I forgot what we were talking about.
Gloria: Anyways, hobbies are important for the men. Whether you're risking your life, or flying little planes from a safe distance

Alex: Did you do it to look sexy, no, did you do it for a guy? Does grandpa like it?

Gloria: That's no way to talk to your grandmother
