Adam: The Wonder Years is the best. Who doesn't love a kid looking back at his formative years with... I'm just gonna say it... Wonder?
Brea: Except I don't buy Kevin and Winnie. It's like, why is she with him?
Adam: What? He's a loveable every-boy with timeless and deceptive charm.
Brea: Ehh. He's short and has a weird voice. Plus, he's got that really annoying best friend.
Dave Kim: Paul's the breakout character. If anyone's annoying, it's the older brother.
Barry: Wayne rules. I like the way he doesn't think anything through.
Erica: I'm a fan of the older sister. Why don't they give her more stories?

Adam: Adam: Wow. You look like Alyssa Milano in Teen Steam. I only know that because Barry rented it. We watched it in dead silence and went our separate ways.
Brea: Ignoring all that. Your mom is teaching during lunch since the other class filled up.
Adam: Neat. Now none of my peers have to miss out on watching her glisten like Kathleen Turner in the erotic thriller Body Heat. Barry rented that, too.

Adam: No way. I won't have room for you, too.
Beverly: Well, we'll convert the garage into a cosy little in-law suite.
Adam: The garage is my space. That's where I watch movies and display my collectible figurines.
Beverly: Well you can move all that down to the basement.
Adam: So now I'm getting banished to the basement? I work my ass off and this is all I get?

Beverly: I just don't understand how you could do this. Why would you hide something so amazing from your mother?
Adam: You actually liked it?
Beverly: Liked it? This is as good, if not better, than Stefan King himself.
Adam: Stephen King. And you've read his stuff?
Beverly: Not a word. But I'll tell you something. He'd better look out for Adam F. Goldberg. Love the middle initial, very authorly.
Adam: It's only there 'cause there's another Adam Goldberg in school. He's in 11th grade and has a beard.

Murray: What the hell are you doing?
Adam: I'm stimulating the follicles. I read it in GQ. It's a magazine for stylish men of means.

Adam: Come on. Put yourself in my shoes. Think back to when you were a kid You know, pushing a hoop with a stick on the way to the old fishin' hole.
Murray: How old do you think I am?!

Lainey: And guess what? You're Raoul.
Adam: Wait are you sure it's not the other Adam Goldberg? He's an actor, too.
Lainey: There's an "F." It's Adam F.
Adam: My first big part. Suck it, other Adam Goldberg! Don't tell him I said that. I fear him.

Ruben Amaro, Jr.: What's your name, bro?
Adam: Adam F. Goldberg. Got to use the middle initial cause there's another Adam Goldberg in school, and he's very mad about the whole same-name situation.

Adam: Excuse me. Hi, I'm Adam F. Goldberg. Not be confused with the other Adam Goldberg.
Johnny Atkins: The artsy dude?
Adam: Actually, we both have an appreciation for the arts. He's more of a multi-hyphenate. I've been focusing on the written word.

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Ever since I was a kid, Billy Joel was my musical idol. I loved every album and video, but he blew my mind when he released a song like no other We didn't start the fire "We Didn't Start the Fire" was an instant classic. The moment I heard it, I was obsessed.
Adam: What is he doing? It's like Billy Joel is singing, but also rapping.
Barry: No, it's like he's rapping, but also singing.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] It became a point of pride to memorize the lyrics. And back before the Internet, the only way to learn them was to just listen.
Murray: The hell are you doing?! It's the middle of the night!
Adam: Dad, thank God. Is it "Pumajob?" or "Pacman job?" Put on the damn headphones. What is he saying?
Murray: He's saying you're a moron. Now go to bed, and also learn some history!
