• Manny Delgado : I'm sorry I let you down, Jay. I'm starting to think if I couldn't even get up that wall, then why am I even going on...

  Jay Pritchett : Knock it off, Manny. We both know you could get up that wall. Now why are you trying to get out of this trip?

  Manny Delgado : I'm not! I'm exited to go!

  Jay Pritchett : Manny.

  Manny Delgado : Okay. I have some concerns about the shower situation.

  Jay Pritchett : Oh. Because?

  Manny Delgado : Well, I'm pretty much at my target weight.

  Jay Pritchett : That's good.

  Manny Delgado : But the thing is, I haven't quite reached... my target height.

  Jay Pritchett : Got it. First of all, you don't have to go. I'll write you a note; we'll plan on doing something fun this weekend.

  Manny Delgado : Really?

  Jay Pritchett : You bet.

  Manny Delgado : And you're not mad at me?

  Jay Pritchett : Look, if you were a different kid, I'd give you the speech, you know, 'We all have insecurities, you've gotta be brave here,', but let's face it, you're already about the bravest kid I know.

  Manny Delgado : I am?

  Jay Pritchett : Come in. You wear blazers to school; you play the pan flute; you, you read poetry to girls. I couldn't even talk to girls when I was your age. Shower thing's nothing compared to all that. But whatever you decide, I'm behind you.
