Beverly wants Murray and Adam to spend some father-son time together camping, like the Kremps. Meanwhile, Geoff encourages Erica to get back on the music scene by joining an a cappella group.

Quote from Adam

Adult Adam: [v.o.] With our fake fishing trip cut short, the only choice we had was to show my mom what we caught.
[on TV :]
Adam: This is the best.
Murray: It sure is! You know, this fishing pole is nature's TV remote.
Adam: Don't you dare change that channel.
Murray: [chuckles] You're my son.
Adam: You're my dad.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Sure, it was sloppy and unbelievable, but my mom ate it all up.
Murray: You know, it's late. We should get some rest.
Adam: We have been fishing for 10 hours.
Murray: Well, that's the normal amount of time.
Adam: Hmm. And action.
Murray: Good night, tiger.
Adam: Right back atcha, tiger.
Murray: How many times I got to tell you, you don't... [static crackles] I love camping.

Quote from Murray

Beverly: [laughs] It happened! Oh! [laughs] I brought the men in my life together!
Adam: So, you thought this was... good?
Beverly: It was [bleep] amazing!
Murray: This worked nice. So, I'll see you around chow time.
Beverly: Damn right you will. I'm inviting Ginzy and her bland family over so I can rub your camping love in their fat faces!
Adam: Wait, this isn't over?
Beverly: It's just beginning. I'm cooking up the fish you caught with a side of suck it, Ginzy!
Adam: Oh, no! The Kremps know fish! They'll expose our terrible lies!
Murray: Nah. All you gotta say when they ask you something is, "They were practically jumping into the boat."
Adam: Those are words that people say.
Murray: Those are words that people say.

Quote from Naked Rob

Erica: Doesn't matter. Everyone give me your best middle C. [all vocalize off-key]
Naked Rob: Oh, yeah!
Erica: Did someone just say the words "Oh, yeah"?
Naked Rob: Oh, yeah!
Erica: Why would you do that?
Naked Rob: I don't really sing.

Quote from Matt

Erica: Moving on. Matt Bradley.
Matt: [clears throat] [sings off-key note] Sorry, I'm actually medically deaf after I dove in the ice to save that dog.
Barry: Ha! That's what you get.

Quote from Murray

Virginia: Oh, Beverly, it's such a rare occasion that you invite us all over for dinner.
Beverly: Nonsense, Ginzy. I'm sure we've had you over many times.
Charles: This is actually the farthest I've ever made it into your home.
Murray: You're always over here strapping on the old feedbag, Leroy.
Charles: It's Charles. And I've been your neighbor for 20 years.
Murray: [chuckling] I don't think so. Bring it to me again.
Charles: Charles.
Murray: Like the chew?
Chad: You mean the Charleston Chew?
Murray: Exactly. Quality bar. Hey, can I top off your tea, Charleston?

Quote from Murray

Virginia: You know, Beverly, what kind of fish is this?
Beverly: The finest lake fish. And unlike your lazy men, mine cleaned, boned, and filleted it for me.
Adam: Did we, now? Dad?
Murray: Yeah, they were practically jumping in the boat.
Charles: This is clearly a swordfish steak.
Murray: Jumping in the boat.
Virginia: That's a 1,000-pound ocean fish.
Murray: Oh-ho! In the boat!
Beverly: Please tell these people that this is not a giant saltwater animal.
Murray: Well, no, no, it's a brand-new fish. It's a, uh, lake swordfish.

Quote from Adam

Beverly: Huh. A new giant lake fish. Adam?
Adam: I suppose that could happen. I... I mean, in Jaws 4, a shark held a grudge and followed a family down the Eastern Seaboard to terrorize them. So, yeah, that's, like, our fish.
Beverly: Jaws 4?
Adam: It wasn't very good. But now might be a nice time to retire to the den and watch it.

Quote from Erica

Geoff: Look, you haven't been the same since you turned your back on music.
Erica: I was just jamming out to that song in that elevator.
Geoff: You got out a floor early because you didn't want to hear Corey Hart for the millionth time.
Erica: We get it! He wears his sunglasses at night. I wear my pajama pants to the grocery store, but you don't hear me bragging all over the radio.

Quote from Geoff

Geoff: Babe, music was your life. It brought you so much joy. And now you're just... kinda frowny.
Erica: Frowny?
Geoff: But it's a hot frown. Like, so kissable and alluring and... There it is. Come on, gimme some of that sexy grimace.

Quote from Barry

Lisa: Thanks, guys! I'm Lisa Levine, and that's just a taste of the Molly Sing-walds. If anybody's interested in our group, we're gonna be having auditions this...
All: [sing] Tuesday
Erica: I'll have one of those.
Geoff: This random encounter re-ignited her love of music!
Barry: [off-key] I'll be there. Lisa Levine. I will join your foxy beatbox crew.
Geoff: No, Barry. Erica needs this.
Barry: Fliers cannot be shared! You ripped it! Now I'll never know if they're meeting at 4:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m.
Geoff: It's just a piece of paper! They have a whole stack!
