At school, however, there is an incident between Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Luke (Nolan Gould) after Manny called Luke his nephew, making things very awkward for Claire (Julie Bowen) and Gloria. Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) is a former college football player and is comfortable with Jay's attitude towards the game. Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) does not care for football; in order to be more comfortable, he decides to learn more about the game and the two teams so he can try to enjoy the evening. His attempt to do so fails miserably when he regularly misuses football terms. After the family gathers at Jay's house, Phil (Ty Burrell) and Jay talk to the boys in order to have them settle their differences. Phil begins to explain the situation, but Jay takes over and simply tells the boys that they are family, and instead of fighting, they should love each other. The boys then go outside and play. While they are outside, Phil convinces Gloria and Claire to address their annoyances with each other. Later, when the boys have had some fun, Manny brings up that Luke constantly insults Gloria, calling her a "coal digger". Phil corrects Luke's pronunciation saying he meant "gold digger". Luke states that he's heard of this term from his mom, having used it through the past year. This makes the situation worse: Gloria leaves the gathering and stays in her room, refusing to join the group. Phil then tries to reason with her, resulting in an awkward situation. Eventually Claire comes to apologize, but Gloria will not accept it unless she can get even. Gloria tells Claire that the only way she can forgive her is to jump into the pool with her clothes on. Claire does, and soon afterward, everyone except Haley (Sarah Hyland) jumps in as well. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coal Digger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
