Adam gets to recite his favorite bits from Airplane! after Beverly surprises the family with an end of summer vacation to Miami. Meanwhile, Geoff struggles to keep Beverly's secret about the real reason for the trip.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: And that right there is why I've gone ahead and packed for you. These bags and the other 12 in the car should keep you covered.
Adam: This one's empty.
Beverly: That is for all the hotel freebies that it is our divine right to take.
Adam: Like shampoo?
Beverly: Obviously. But I'm talking so much more. Robes, towels, the pens, stationery, batteries from the remote, the remote, pillows, hair dryer, iron, clock radio, and curtains, both window and shower.
Erica: Why not take the TV, too?
Beverly: Because that's stealing, Erica.

Quote from Barry

Geoff: Hey, guys.
Barry: What the hell is this?
Geoff: I thought it'd be fun to dress like Crockett from Miami Vice.
Barry: I'm Crockett from Miami Vice.
Geoff: Okay. I'll be Tubbs, then.
Ren: Ooh, I like Tubbs.
Barry: You do? Switch it. I'm Tubbs.
Geoff: Fine, Crockett it is.
Erica: Yeah, Crockett is the man.
Barry: No, I'm the man! I have to be Crockett.
Geoff: Back to Tubbs.
Barry: Not fair. I have to be Tubbs.
Geoff: Can you just tell me who you want to be?
Barry: I will be Crockett and Tubbs, also known as Crubbs.

Quote from Adam

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Back in the '80s, Airplane! was the pinnacle sky-high spoof. It was packed with so many laughs, gags, and puns, you couldn't keep up. And guess who knew it line-by-line.
Adam: Surely, you can't be serious.
Leslie Nielsen: [on TV] I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
Adam: It's an adverb, but he thinks it's a ladies' name! It can't get any better!
Brea: Look how happy this movie makes you. It's so cute.
Adam: You're the cute one. If you were a board game, you'd be Cutes N' Ladders.
Brea: If you were a cereal, you'd be Cutie Pebbles.
Adam: If you were a mathematician, you'd be Sir Isaac Cute-on.

Quote from Barry

Barry: Enough! You're both disgusting! Ren and I are so in sync, we even finish each other's...
Ren: Sentences.
Barry: ...word groupings. [chuckles] That counts.

Quote from Geoff

Erica: Young, new love. So very, very stupid.
Geoff: Yep, when you've been together as long as we have, there's no need to prove anything. Last night, we went to dinner and didn't say a single word grouping.

Quote from Barry

Geoff: I'm finally a part of the family! After years of personal indignities, I feel so special!
Beverly: Don't. Because Brea and Ren are also in.
Barry: Noyce! Ren, this is the perfect time for us to get back on the same...
Ren: Page!
Barry: ...airplane! What's up with you?

Quote from Beverly

Erica: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. There is no way that Dad would pay for all of us to fly and stay in a hotel. What's your scheme, Blondie?
Beverly: No scheme. Remember when I screamed at that woman at the Sheraton because the complimentary champagne was too cold?
Barry: Mandy from Fort Wayne cried so much.
Beverly: The manager gave me 50 free nights to leave the premises. So we all win.

Quote from Adam

Adam: Yes! I get to do Airplane! bits on an actual airplane! "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue." [chuckles] That's one of them.

Quote from Barry

Adult Adam: [v.o.] It was the end of summer, 1980-something, and before we took to the skies, there were a few things to take care of on the ground.
[title: "The Packing"]
Beverly: Thank you so much for packing in here under my watchful eye.
Barry: You'll be happy to know this is a bag full of hand weights. [fabric rips] Damn it!
Erica: Idiot, these bags are for clothes. That's why my fanny pack has everything I need... Two bikinis, my scrunchy, and browning oil.
Adam: Someone's forgetting about the cool Latin nights.

Quote from Murray

Murray: What the hell's going on? I've been waiting in the car for 16 minutes.
Beverly: Murray, the flight doesn't leave for six hours.
Adam: We're not even in the air half that long.
Murray: Thank you, Amilio Airhead. Have you taken into consideration the traffic, the parking, the shuttle?
Adam: I guess not.
Murray: That's the smartest thing you've ever said. I'll be waiting in the car.
