Changes: Vincent

Revision as of 11:00, 30 July 2014

Vincent, also known as Shorty, is Jay Pritchett's best friend.

He first appeared in "Fifteen Percent". After Jay's son Mitchell meets Shorty, he says that he is gay. When Jay asks Gloria about it she states that she believes he is gay, because he has never tired to flirt with her. She tells him to confront him about it and Jay starts seeing little signs that suggest Shorty might be gay. It turns out however, that rather than being gay, Shorty owes a booky 20 thousand dollars. Shorty assumes that Jay is willing to lend him the money, as Jay says he would like to help Shorty, but Jay is still under the impression that Shorty is gay. It turns out that Mitchell was teaching Jay a lesson for introducing Cam as "a friend of my son's", earlier in the episode.

He reappears in "Treehouse", with his girlfriend Darlene. When Gloria sees that Shorty spends a lot of time with Darlene, she gets mad because she and Jay hardly ever do something together. Shorty invites Jay and Gloria to dance salsa and Darlene tells Gloria she would be doing her a favor because Shorty never stops dancing. Jay rejects the offer, which makes Gloria so angry. But later, Jay takes a pill that Mitchell gave him to dance and he finally goes to dance salsa with Shorty, Darlene and Gloria.

In "Bringing Up Baby", he, Phil and Miles, kidnap Jay and bring him to a boat to surprise him for his 65th birthday. He also tries to convince Phil to grow a beard.

In "Three Dinners", he and Darlene announce to Jay and Gloria that they are moving to Costa Rica. Jay gets upset with the news and he doesn't know how to react. He tries everything to make Shorty change his mind but the two of them end up fighting with Shorty leaving the house. Gloria and Manny try to make Jay admit that the reason he reacted that way is because he is afraid that Shorty will like Costa Rica and he won't come back. Even though Jay denies it, he later accepts the possibility of "losing" his best friend and gets very emotional when he tells him goodbye.
