Modern Family:The life in a crazy family

Princess Party

Later, they were all sitting at the table after eating

"Well, you know, we didn't want to break curfew" Claire said 

"Curfew?! Oh, right. As if you two ever honored a curfew"Dede told her

"I love your stories, Nana. Keep on goin'" Sophie said earning "that" look from her Mom

"Your father used to scare the crap out of me" Robbie told Claire

"Mm-hmm"

"Well, evidently not enough to keep you from sneaking in at 3:00 in the morning. I didn't know whether to punish you or make you pancakes" Dede said


"Claire, you remember that time we cut school and we went out to the pier..."

"Mm-hmm"

"...And we played that game, and you won the..."

"Giant panda bear!"

"The panda bear, right"

"Yeah. Yes"

"Yeah"

"Do you remember what we did after that?"

"Yes"

"Hey, do you still like roller coasters?" Robbie asked Claire

"Not this one" Claire told him

"You know, Robbie was a rogue, but he could charm your socks off. Although I doubt he stopped there" Dede and Phil chuckled and Haley and Sophie choked

"Wow, mom" Sophie said

"Mom?" Claire said looking at Dede

"We're all adults here, honey, pretty much"

"Okay, I think we're... we're done" Claire said

"Yeah, well, I better get going.  I've got an early-morning run, celebrity client"

"Don't ask me who. Let's just say that if I'm late, I'll be in Jeopardy" Robbie said earning some gasps

"Who is Alex Trebek?"

"Uh, he's a game-show host"

"Why?"

"No reason"

"Claire" Robbie called

"Yes?"

"This was incredible. Thanks a lot"

"S-so great.It was so great"

"So good to see you"

"I know"

"You look so good. Catching up was so fun"

"Really good"

"Hey, you... you take good care"

"You take good care, now"

"Yes"

"Ohh, let's do it. Let's do that"

"I'll walk you out" Dede told Robbie

"Bye!" Haley said

"Really, mom?" Sophie asked chuckling

"I was young"

"I thought he was sexy" Haley said

"Go to your room" Claire told her

"Okay" Haley said and both her and Sophie left

The day after, they all went to Lily's party

"So...Where is she?Where's mom?" Claire asked after greeting everyone 

"Yeah, let's get the weirdness over with" Jay said

"Oh, no. I thought she was coming with you" Mitchell said

"Oh, no, no. I haven't seen mom since... let's see... oh, she made out with my ex-boyfriend last night" Claire said

"What?"

"Yeah"

"No, my God!"

"Yeah. Yeah. And then she took off with him, didn't come back to the house until after I was asleep, and then this morning left a cute little note that said, "having breakfast with Robbie!"

"What the hell is she doing? He's half her age!" Jay said

"Don't say it"

"I think it's sweet. Love is beautiful. It has no age. When it's meant to be, it's meant to be" Gloria said

"What's wrong with her?" Sophie asked

"She was a little nervous about Dede being here, so she tried her first Xanax, washed it down with a sh*t of tequila" Jay explained

"Ay, look at the princess. It's so beautiful" Gloria said

"Really? 'Cause I don't see it" Cam said

"There's the birthday girl!" The princesse said

"Glitter?That'll settle in her lungs"

"So, I wanted to ask what method of payment you prefer...Cash, credit card, check?" Cam asked the princesse

"Why, princesses don't get paid, except maybe in laughter and sparkles" She said

"That's nice.But I really need to know"

"All I ask is that a little girl's birthday wishes..."Come true"

"Miss, seriously, if you want to get paid, I need to..."

"Fine. You can make the check out to party stars incorporated"

"Never break character. Never, ever!" Cam told her

"But..."

"But" nothing. When I was a clown, my shoe caught on fire, and one of my fellow clowns put me out with a bucket of flammable confetti" 

"Hey Mom, did you know Nana was going to bring Robbie to the party?" Sophie asked her Mom 

"No, why-I cannot believe it. She brought him to the party!" Claire said noticing Dede and Robbie

"Oh, my God!"

"I'm gonna k*ll her. I'm gonna..." Claire said and started walking up to Dede

"Stop. No, not... not now. The last thing I need is some big scene, Claire" Mitchell said stopping her

"You know, she's doing this just to t*rture me. Mm-hmm" Claire said

"No, no. She's doing this to get back at me because I didn't let her stay with us" Mitchell told her

"You're both wrong. This is about me. I got the young girl. She had to get the young guy" Jay told both of them

"Well, these are all good point" Sophie said and then left to get a coke

"You swooped!" Everyone stayed silent when they heard Claire yelling at Dede

"She accused me of trying to steal my old boyfriend from her"

"Okay, fine, but make it quick" Mitchell told her

"Why does everything have to be so hard with you? Why can't you just be a normal old grandma?! Why do you...You come in here, it's some sort of sick game for you to just push people and push people and push people and see how far you can push them!"

"And so fine...Look at me!You win! You win!I'm screaming at a princess party, mom!"

"Claire. Claire..."

"I'm screaming at a princess party!"

"Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire"

"Robbie?I think maybe, you know, you should take off"

"Yeah, yeah, look, I hear you, Phil.Uh, but between you and me...I'm getting some serious vibes from the princess over here, and I'd kind of like to play that out. Oh"

"Hey. Time to go" Jay told Robbie

"Hey, Mr. P. How you been?"

"I'm doing good.But I never liked you in the basement with my daughter, and I don't like you here with my ex"

"You know, your little intimidation game may have worked on me when I was a kid, but I'm a full-grown man now...And I think I should go" Robbie said and then left
