Modern Family · Season 1, Episode 15

Jay and Gloria in “My Funky Valentine”

Jay

[about a comedian] You're going to love him. Trust me, the guy's hilarious.

Gloria

OK, tell me one of his jokes.

Jay

Well, he doesn't do jokes.

Gloria

Does he have a mallet?

Jay

No.

Gloria

So then how does he get hit in the head?

Jay

He doesn't get hit in the head. He makes observations. He tells the truth in a funny way - come on, he's been on Johnny Carson a hundred times.

Gloria

Who the hell is Johnny Carson?

Jay

Oh, for God's sake.

[Cut to Jay and Gloria talking to the camera]

Jay

Gloria and I are from different generations, and I won't lie, it isn't always easy. I mean, last week she thought Simon & Garfunkel were my lawyers.

Gloria

No I didn't.

Jay

It's a joke.

Gloria

I don't get it.

Jay

Maybe that's because there's no mallet.

Gloria

Yeah, I wish I had a mallet right now.
