This incensed Mitchell, who tells Jay that Shorty (Chazz Palminteri) sets off his gaydar by the way he talks, dresses and acts. (To the camera, Mitchell and Cameron discuss Mitchell's coming out to his father and that Jay had a hard time accepting it). Jay does not believe it, but Gloria (Sofía Vergara) does when Jay informs her of Mitchell's opinion. He begins noticing signs after he starts watching how Shorty acts and comes to think it may be possible, but once he offers support to Shorty, he discovers that his friend is a bad gambler with smart dress habits. Meanwhile Gloria gives Manny's (Rico Rodriguez) surprise date, Whitney (Kristen Schaal), a shabbily dressed young twenty-something, a makeover so that she can feel better about herself. Cameron ends up meeting Manny's date, who thinks Cameron may be the guy for her after a short conversation. Jay confronts Mitchell, telling him that in offering his support to his friend Shorty, he's had to loan him $20,000 to cover gambling debts. Mitchell tells his father he's proud of him, for becoming more open-minded than he was when Mitchell was younger. The Dunphy family plotline concerns Claire (Julie Bowen) and her inability to work Phil's (Ty Burrell) universal remote for their new home theater system. Phil teaches Haley (Sarah Hyland) how to handle the remote after Claire decides that no one in their family can learn the remote. Once Phil is asleep, Claire begs Haley to teach her as Phil talks to her like a child when doing so. The episode's title refers to Mitchell's concluding voice-over, explaining that people may change a little, perhaps fifteen percent, if they really want to do so. 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「Fifteen Percent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
