research: Modern Family

In the most recent episode of Modern Family, Mitch ditches the sweater that Cam knit for him, then makes Phil swear to pretend it was stolen.

"I can't."

"I can't."

"I can't do it!  I can't take this stupid thing anymore!"

"It was stolen out of the car.  Do you understand me?"

 When Cam discovers the truth, he is furious.

"You know, I knew that sweater wasn't stolen."

"And here I picked blue yarn to match your eyes,"

"But I should've picked black to match your heart."

"Although you look amazing in black."

"Damn you."
