‘Angst-Giving’

Season 7, Episode 8 -  Aired November 20, 2019

Beverly wants to keep Murray in a good mood after inviting his cranky father, Pop-Pop (guest star Judd Hirsch), to Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Marvin (Dan Fogler) takes on the task of driving Barry and Erica home from college.

Quote from Erica

Erica: We're never getting home.
Marvin: Oh, yes, you are.
Erica: Marvin, please don't make things any worse...
Marvin: [shushing] I know that I blew it before, and the time before that, and like a million times before that, but all that's gonna change now.
Barry: Did you steal another Chevette?
Marvin: 'Vette. And, no. But I do have a great idea to get you guys home. Because what's even worse than making you miss Thanksgiving is knowing that I'm the dumbass responsible.
Barry: What are you saying?
Marvin: Just trust me one last time, and I promise that "pulling a Marvin," it's gonna mean something good.
Erica: Okay. Let's see what you got.

Quote from Barry

Adult Adam: [v.o.] With that, Barry and Erica had no choice but to trust our uncle, and that's when he pulled his most epic Marvin yet.
Bus Driver: Tickets, please.
Marvin: No time! Me and my compadres here work for the medical FBI! And we are mandated to get this very real human heart to Philly, STAT.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Thanksgiving and Uncle Marvin's reputation hung in the balance. We just needed one little "yes" to make it home.
Bus Driver: Whatever.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Eh, close enough.
Erica: I can't believe that worked.
Barry: You actually did it, Uncle Marvin.
Marvin: Yeah. I kinda did. [chuckles]

Quote from Adam

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Yep, thanks to my mom, Pop-Pop and my dad finally broke through, and Barry and Erica decided that "pulling a Marvin" wasn't a bad thing after all. It meant showing up when it mattered most. And even though it was Friday and there wasn't any corn, Thanksgiving finally came together.
Pops: To all of us.
All: Salud.
Adam: You did it, Mom. You pulled off the perfect Thanksgiving.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] That's the awesome thing about family. Just when you think hope is lost, people who care surprise you in ways you never expected. We still talk about that legendary Thanksgiving to this very day, 'cause in the end, no matter how crazy the journey home is, the best part is being together.

Quote from Adam

Adam: I can't believe I've never seen the movie Cobra.
Marvin: Ah, you're gonna love it, kid. Besides Sly, it's got Danish bombshell Brigitte Nielsen. [groans]
Adam: Red Sonja herself. I'll get us the tickets.
Marvin: No need. This one's on Uncle Marvin.
Adam: Please tell me your wallet's in there.
Marvin: Wallets are for people who play by the rules. Code blue! We got an emergency liver transplant in... theater four. I'm gonna need a bucket of ice and a large popcorn, STAT!
Attendant: Yeah, that'll be nine dollars.
Adam: Here's ten.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: Wait, Ben, Ben. You can go watch the parade in the basement until dinner's ready. Is that okay with everyone?
Lou: I guess.
Linda: It's not in here.
Pops: He's got his coat.
Beverly: Great, just go downstairs and make yourself comfortable.
Pop-Pop: Don't mind if I do. [drops pants]
Linda: [gasps] Oh, my.
Lou: That's not okay!
Geoff: The human body changes over time!
