Jenny Humphrey : Wait, what...?
Dan Humphrey : So I guess you're still grounded.

Dan Humphrey : Who is this guy?
Jenny Humphrey : You don't know him. He goes to Unity.
Rufus Humphrey : Wait, Upper East Side Unity?
Dan Humphrey : I'm thinking it's Upper West Side, Dad.
Jenny Humphrey : How are you helping?

Dan Humphrey : Oh, well, not without its complications, believe me.
Rufus Humphrey : [to Jenny] I thought you said it wasn't a date.

[storms off angrily]
