Dede

Non-PRO English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Ladies and gentlemen, the scientists would have you believe that time travel is poppycock. But today, on the anniversary of the wonderful Gloria and Jay, I shall confound the skeptics and transport this beautiful woman back in time to the day of her wedding. Gloria, get in the box! Drumroll, please. ( Drumroll ) ( Cymbals crash ) ( Drum solo ) ( Solo continues ) ( Solo ends ) Whoo! Yes, drums! Yes! Anyway, watch as she disappears into the wormhole. That's my trick. I'm done.
Jay: What do you mean, you're done? Bring her back. ( Thump, thump )
Gloria: Okay, I'm ready!
Phil: You made my dream disappear. Now yours is gone.
Gloria: Hola! I want to come out!
Claire: Phil. Phil, you are Dede-ing my party.
Phil: Your father Dede'd my life. He's the one who got the phone call 15 years ago about the magic job and never told me.
Claire: Oh, Phil.
Phil: Your family has always treated me like a child who can't make his own decisions. I couldn't even make an outfit choice for the wedding without your mother commenting on it. That's why I slipped her those three drinks at the reception. ( Thump, thump )

ruin


DeDe is a character on the show. I guess she had a habit of ruining things. So they turned her name into a verb that means “to ruin”
