All language subtitles for Modern Family - 10x03 - A Sketchy Area.KILLERS

Every afternoon,
I've been going to Luke's campus

to help him train for rugby tryouts.

What do you say we practice
that lineout lift one last time?

- And...
- I got to go.

I don't want to be late
for women's studies.

That's what I call my lunch break.

All right. Good luck at tryouts.

The other day,

something pretty interesting
caught my eye.

modifications must be made

to standard microeconomic procedures

to apply supply and demand analysis.

First, we construct a utility function,

where Y equals income

and X equals the cost of services.

Well...

Next, we vary either X...

Pffffbbbbb.

What... What's on your mind?

Well, um, with all due respect,

you have a roomful
of aspiring Realtors here,

and I worry that you might
be turning them off

with all those numbers and formulas.

It's actually a very exciting business.

It's about people
and... and emotional connections

and magnets with your face on them.

You think you can just walk in here

and start teaching this class?

I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have...

No, I'm asking...
can you teach this class for me?

If I leave now, I won't have to
pay the all-day parking rate.

10 minutes with the dean,

who, it turns out, I'd sold a house to,

and I was official.

Imagine Phil Dunphy shaping minds

in the hallowed halls
of Sequoia Community College,

established 2016.

As you can see from this graph,
it's not about X's and Y's.

It's about oohs and ahs.

Okay.

So, what does real estate equal?

80%...

eye contact.

All right. Your breakfast
is almost ready.

You're gonna need all your
energy for the courtroom today

in case you have to yell,
"I'm out of order?

You're out of order.
The whole damn system's out of order!"

Might not do that.

I think I'm winning, so big fan
of the system right now.

- Anyway, it can't hurt
- Cam.

to have some experienced eyes
take a look at this police work.

Sloppy. Sloppy, sloppy.

Okay, I know you fancy yourself
some sort of detective.

You know, I was quite
the amateur sleuth as a boy,

a real-life Encyclopedia Brown.

They called me Thesaurus Jones.

What I really need right now is
just a few minutes of silence,

- just like...
- I would say my toughest case

was "The Case of the Missing Snowman."

You know, at first,
I thought he'd come to life,

- but turns out...
- Shh! My trial!

Today marks the fourth day

of witness questioning
by the DA's office.

- My God.
- Is that you?

I look like an elf that just walked

into his own surprise party.

No, it's like the time we tried
to microwave a squash.

I... Okay, this is my first big trial,

a-a chance to make a name for myself.

All anyone's gonna be talking
about is that awful picture!

Okay, this is a disaster.

Th... There's a place downtown
where all the lawyers go to drink.

It's called The Side Bar.

They put courtroom sketches on the wall

of everyone's first big trial.

Maybe nobody saw it.

Um...

Don't assume the worst.
It could just be an Amber Alert.

- Hey, Dad.
- Yo.

Since it's our first day
with our new partners,

I thought maybe you could get to work

as close to on time as poss...

I will try my best.

Hi.

I'm sorry. Am I late?

No, no, no, no.

And we're not real time sticklers here.

We've found that team members
really excel

when they follow
their own energy rhythms.

Interesting, 'cause I've found

team members are happiest

when the company stays in business,

which means asses in chairs by 9:00.

Dad, could I just have
a quick... quick sec with you?

Sure.

Um... so, Dad, look,

the culture is just different here.

And you just can't
come in with a sledgehammer,

or it's gonna create tension.

You don't want to alienate people.

- So you want me to change who I am?
- No.

I just want you to hide who you are.

I mean, come on. Just a little bit.
Let's get rid of this.

Look at that. That's better already.

Who is this 50-something?

- Fine. I will be on my best behavior.
- Thanks, Dad.

- So sorry about that.
- Well, it's no problem.

Family time is so important.

That's why we offer 14 months
paid paternity leave.

Kay.

Let's see an update
on that Thinfinity model.

Ooh. Cool design.

- Who do I high-five for that?
- Everybody.

Our design meetings
are organized around burstiness,

which is a rapid-fire creative process

that really just unlocks
the unconscious.

Does anybody else find that distracting?

Actually, it's great
for left-brain stimulation.

I got winner!

We don't keep score.

- No?
- Watch out!

What the hell?!

You don't know about Zorbing?

It promotes mind/body balance.

It's kind of like
the German version of Flerming.

Okay, that's it.

Now, I'm about to introduce you squids

to a little thing called back-breaking,

soul-crushing hard work.

How many heart attacks have you
had here in the last five years?

Zero? Where am I?!

America loves closets,

and I'm here to build them, damn it!

And you get this back when I see
people pull up in the morning

crying in their cars.

Yeah.

Okay, must you?

You know what, we are gonna make sure

that sketch artist sees the best
possible version of you.

Let's get those apples a-shining!

Okay, okay, stop. Don't!

Okay, your face gets weird
when you make that "O" sound,

so avoid that.

A-Are you serious?

The defendant runs the Orange County

Oceanic and Ornithological Organization.

- That was hard to watch.
- Wha...

All rise.

Last looks.

Be seated.

Mr. Pritchett, you may resume
your questioning of the witness.

Okay.

Mitchell. Mitchell. He's here.

Only give him your best side.

Avoid the fluorescent lights, no O's,

and whatever you do, do not
stand next to the bailiff.

He is breathtaking!

My God.

Counselor?

Sorry, Your Honor. Um...

- Miss Carpenter...
- Bad side!

...do you recall seeing this man
on the night in question?

Yes, sir.

And is he,
to your knowledge, the C.E.O...

of the Orange County Oceanic
and Ornithological Organization?

Counselor, you're mumbling.

Can you repeat that, please?

Does he run the bird and water place?

- He does.
- And is he here today in this...

As I was saying... Little further.

...is he here today in this,
in this courtroom?

That's him.

Let the court note that I am pretty sure

that the witness has identified
the defendant.

Elbow patches?

Did you burn through
another blazer at Benihana's?

Actually, it is for my new position

teaching real estate at your school.

What are you talking about?

They offered me a job.

But hey, listen... listen to me.

Lifelong dreams aside,

I'm not taking this
unless you're on board.

I'm definitely not.

I get it.

Don't want your old Pops
cramping your style,

so I'm... I'm out.

It's just funny.

Can't remember the last time
I was this excited.

But it wouldn't...
wouldn't make any sense

unless you were excited, too.

Not even a little bit.

Right.

Those poor kids, though?
I have so much to offer.

For example,

which house styles are sold
by which cookie type?

French Revival...
French accent] macaroons.

English Tudor...

shortbread.

But...
we both know what you want,

so, I'll resign and go back

to trying to figure out
what to do with my final years.

Okay.

I need a place to stay
for a couple of days.

Can't go home, can't go to school,

don't want to talk about it.

Got it.

I knew that Alex wanted
to talk about it,

but I had a lot on my mind.

I had a rough morning with Joe.

Have a great first day.

Aren't you gonna walk me in?

No. In first grade, you have drop-off.

No one said anything about drop-off.

What if I can't find my cubby?

They don't have cubbies.
They have lockers here.

Wait. Wait a second.
Where's my lunchbox?

I signed you up
for the hot-lunch program.

What is this place?

Okay, I've been feeling some pressure

about what to do
after I graduate this year,

and my parents are constantly
asking me about it.

I thought that you were going to work.

So did I, but lately, I've been
questioning everything.

I even thought about becoming a fellow.

Ay, Alex, that's a big change.

But at least you get
to keep the same name.

I'm not even sure
it's what I really want.

Okay, you have to be very sure,

because I heard
it's even harder to reverse it.

Can we talk about anything else?
Where's Joe?

He started school today.

He was so panicky
when I dropped him off.

I don't know why. It's just first grade.

Just first grade?!

That's when the pressure starts!

Ay! You're freaking me out!

Alex is going to be a very nervous man.

E-excuse me, sketch man.

We'd like a word with you
about your little drawings.

- Yes.
- You don't remember me, do you?

It's... Um...

Well, obviously,
we have offended you somehow.

Were you the barista we had fired?

Here's a hint... I once stayed
in your upstairs rental.

Who consumes an entire welcome basket?

We usually reuse half this stuff.

All the Altoids. He was here one night.

He... He even ate
the horseradish mustard.

What did he put it on?

We purposely don't give crackers.

- Hey.
- Hey.

We are so sorry we offended you, but...

Ooh, too late.

I own you two.

And I haven't even gotten
to my best stuff yet.

I can go redder.

You wouldn't.

Just wait till I connect the brows.

Please. We have a child.

Fun... a reporter from CNN.

Looks like this pretty little
portrait's about to go national.

What... What are we gonna do?

Okay, is it just me, or does this sound

like a job for Thesaurus Jones?

- It's just you.
- No. Blackmail, Mitchell!

We just have to dig
something up on this guy.

Shouldn't be a problem, because
everyone's hiding something.

Everyone.

I feel like you're sitting
on one more...

- Everyone.
- Yep.

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Just as I feared,
my dad had crushed the spirit

of everyone in that office.

I had to do something to prove

we weren't some stuffy killjoys.

It was time to bust out Party Claire.

She'd retired after spring break '89.

And again in '92.

Hey, do you have a second?

If this is about
my respecting your process...

Actually, we want to thank you
for laying down the law before.

Because we have gone soft as a company,

we needed a couple grown-ups to come in

and put us back on track.
You know, thanks to you,

we've gotten rid
of all the distractions...

no more ping-pong tables, squirt guns.

The only thing we couldn't find
was that giant...

Break time, bitches!

It turns out this is a little...

My God! The Thinfinity!

I'm so sorry!

My God! I'm so sorry!

I...!

Sorry.

Sketch boy was unusually well-groomed

for somebody coming out
of a government-subsidized gym.

Something wasn't right.

I was getting
that old Thesaurus Jones tingle.

I decided to do some sniffing around.

Sketch guy's face had a kind of glow

that can only be achieved with
expensive creams and unguents,

yet all I found were packets
of cut-rate all-purpose lotions.

According to my sources,
the gym had an executive level

that provides all manner
of fancy spa products,

but it's for judges and attorneys only.

I created a diversion

by convincing the security detail

there was a towel emergency...

There's a towel emergency.

...and hacked
into the gym's computer system.

Turns out Jonah's been accessing
the executive level

by swiping the ID of one Victor Graham,

a retired judge.

Members of the jury,

the defendant, Mr. Kane,
would have you believe

that he was working
at the time of the crime.

Bald?!

...faced lies!

Counselor?

Because evidence would clearly suggest

that, um...

That while James Kane

does have an office on
his company's executive floor,

he was nowhere near it that night.

Nice try, executive-level Jim.

...Kane...

but we're onto you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
before you've retired, judge...

...for yourself
and draw a more accurate conclusion

than the one Mr. Kane
would have you believe...

Counselor, you're speaking weirdly.

I'm sure you will find
the defendant's alibi

to be thin.

Even thinner.

Good afternoon, young Realtors.

I have a very important announcement

to make after class,

but in the meantime,
if you would be so kind

as to open your books...

Boy. I can't do this.

Students, today is
our last day together.

Shh, shh.

I've treasured our time together.

Brett, I know we got off
to a rough start,

but once we broke down those walls,

I'm not sure who was teaching who.

Whitney, you're the toughest
single mother I know.

Lucy, you be good to your mom.

Bob, amazing how you battle
that dyslexia.

Maybe ease off on the anger
toward your parents, though.

They did you a solid
giving you that name.

We're gonna miss you, Mr. Nudphy.

It's... You... You...
You flipped it, but...

I'm gonna miss you guys, too.

Location. Location. Location.

You memorized it.

Now, for the second and last time...

class dismissed.

Dad.

Luke?

How long have you been back there?

I pretty much saw the whole thing.

- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah?

Don't forget your coffee mug.

O-

I'm sure this all worked out
for the best.

I'll, probably miss

a few spontaneous
Frisbee opportunities and...

apparently,
a tumbling exchange program...

well...
and an Amateur Inventors Association.

How much fun could it be
changing the world, anyway?

A Hall and Oates Magic Show."

- Dad, wait.
- Yes, Luke?

Don't forget your mug again.

Come on!

Can't you see I'm meant to be here?

I'm sorry, but I've never
had a school to myself.

I was always Alex's dumb brother
or Manny's hot nephew.

Now I can finally be my own person.

I'm sorry. I get it.

I-I r... I-I really do.

I think I was just getting
a little overexcited.

I'll...

I'll see you at home.

Dunphy.

Glad I ran into you so I can
congratulate you personally.

- Wait. I made the team?
- First string.

I got to say, your form
on that lineout lift

was impeccable.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Hey, Dad. I made the team.

That's amazing!
I knew you would. You're a natural.

Well, I had a great teacher.

Aww!

So, listen.

This is a big campus.

Maybe we could both be here

if we promise to stay
out of each other's way.

Well, I'd hate to step on your toes.

No, no, y-you wouldn't.

I would hate to stop you

from doing something you're so good at.

I guess I could think about it.

I mean, it's not like
I'd be there all the time.

I, have class and office hours,

and I have the 11:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. slot

at the campus radio station
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Hey, if you want to be my sidekick...

- Dad?
- You're right.

It's better if I do all the voices.

What's up?!

What's all this?

Well, you got me so nervous
about Joe's terrible day

that I put all this out
to cheer him up...

sundae, video game.

I even wrote him a little pep talk.

We're lucky to live
in the golden age of medicines.

Hey, Grandpa, I'm staying here
for a couple of days,

and I do not want to talk about it.

Cool.

That's Joe.

Hey, is my dad home?

Crap. What is my mom doing here?

Come with me.

I owe him an apology.

I made a huge scene at work.

Well, sometimes
the best way to say "I'm sorry"

is in an e-mail.

Why don't you write him
at JaysComputerMail@aol.com?

I plowed over a bunch
of people in a giant hamster ball.

And then I tried to impress the foodies

by ordering Indian for lunch.

And then I chewed some gum

to get rid of my coriander breath,

and I'm pretty sure some's in my hair.

And then I...

tripped and fell and skinned my knee,

and everybody saw my underwear.

Crushed it!

First days are easy when you're cool.

I do feel bad for Conner B.

He brought stinky egg salad for lunch.

He's gonna have to eat with the nurse.

- God!
- Ay.

Joe, why don't you go upstairs?

I just want to go back to my old office,

where I had friends.

I know.

Sometimes...

...you know, we all have bad days.

And...

And sometimes, we have to...
to deal with mean boys.

Boys are mean.

You're right, Gloria.

I am right?

You know what I love
about this family?

Mnh-mnh.
We're not quitters... especially you.

Remember how hard it was
for you to learn how to swim?

It was hard.

But now it's your favorite thing
in the world

because it reminds you
of how strong you are.

I mean, I like to swim...

Tomorrow can only be better.

But just in case, I'll come at lunch,

and I will kiss you through the fence.

How about I text you around 11:00

and let you know how I'm doing?

So, you want to tell me
why you're avoiding your mom?

I'm not avoiding her.
Hey, what's... what's all this?

Danger O'Shea memorabilia.
I'm a big collector.

- Who's Danger O'Shea?
- Legendary daredevil.

Got famous for jumping over
a school bus on his motorcycle.

Get over here! Talk to me.

Tell me why you're avoiding your mom.

Okay.

Well, I've been on
a science track my whole life,

which my parents love...
"Alex the scientist."

But... lately, I've been
having second thoughts.

I've always loved singing,
and... and I've been doing

some open-mic nights recently,

and it's been going really well.

I see where this is going. Sing for me.

What, like... right now?

Just sing.

That was great.

Stick to science.

Wow. You really got a knack
for pep talks in this house.

I'm not saying it's impossible.

I'm saying play the odds.

For example, you take this O'Shea guy.

Good. We're back to him.

But he was smart.
He started a business, got established.

And when he couldn't kick
the daredevil dream,

he went for it.

And he was good... real good...

until that fateful day he tried to jump

over a motorcycle in a school bus.

Fortunately for him, unlike his act,

he had a safety net.

- His business.
- Jumped right back in.

Within a year, it was bigger than ever.

The point is, you've been on
the science track for 15 years.

See it through. Build a foundation.

If in a couple of years, you still
have the singing bug, go for it!

I guess you're right.

It would be pretty dumb of me

to give up on the career path I'm on.

I could make half a mil
my first year out of school.

Wow! What do they pay men?

So, Danger never did
another stunt again?

He still brings that maverick
spirit to everything he does,

which is why he got
to the top of his industry.

Some people think it's the greatest
stunt he ever pulled off.

Thanks for the talk...

Danger.

So, I won my case, and even better,

- this is going up at The Side Bar.
- Yeah.

And now maybe you'll have some respect

for my investigative skills.

It was a pretty simple case,
because, as I've said,

everyone has something to hide.

Everyone.

- You know...
- Everyone.
