Quote from Erica
Erica: We got to get on "Star Search." I mean, it'll be the fastest way to get famous without having to do any work whatsoever.
Lainey: Yes! That idea is so perfect for us.
Erica: Then it's settled. We'll win "Star Search."
Other Erica: You know, I've been secretly second-guessing our decision to drop out of college until this very moment. Now all we need is the perfect audition song.
Quote from Lainey
Lainey: You know, I wrote a song that may just do the trick.
Erica: "I Wanna Rock Your Body"? Dude, I love this title! Let's do it.
Other Erica: And I love the rest of the words.
Quote from Barry
Lainey: Look, we agreed our band's a democracy, so we vote on it. Raise your hand if yes to rocking Barry's body.
Erica: No! No, you do not get to vote. You are not even in our band.
Barry: But my body is. It's part of the band's musical legacy.
Quote from Erica
John Calabasas: Uh, I got to stop you. So, you really can actually really sing.
Erica: Yeah, so?
John Calabasas: So, I'm not used to hearing people sing like actual singers.
Geoff: Like I said, she's in an awesome band. They may even be on "Star Search."
John Calabasas: "Star Search" the TV show?
Erica: Well, it's a possibility.
John Calabasas: Okay, look, I'm gonna be half-honest with you guys before, when I said you're gonna be a rock-'n'-roll superstar, I wanted to believe it because I'm an optimist with a big heart, but now I really do believe it. And I want to be your manager.
Erica: Seriously?
Geoff: You just got discovered in a mall! This always happens!
Erica: Great! But there are two other girls in the band.
John Calabasas: Look, I can tell just from how I know nothing about them but those no-talent hacks are holding you back. But if you go solo, we will for sure conquer the music biz.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: So, they stack one on top of the other? I have seen everything.
Essie Karp: And to think, all this time, I've just been storing my cereal in the box it came in.
Quote from Beverly
Essie Karp: Bev, I know this is hard to hear. But you know Adam's too old to be playing with toys, and it's getting kind of-
Virginia Kremp: Weird and sad
Linda Schwartz: Sad and weird.
Beverly: How could you seriously think that Adam's favorite lifetime hobby is in any way weird? It's crazy!
Adam: [imitating flying, shooting lasers] Damn it! I grew out of my laser voice.
Quote from Lainey
Lainey: What the hell is this?
Other Erica: It's a demo she had made at the mall. We came here to confront her about it.
Lainey: I know that. I was just being dramatic.
Quote from Erica
Erica: Guys, I would never go solo. I mean, did I crush "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Obviously. And did it floor a manager with my soulful angel voice dripping with polished talent? Of course.
Quote from Erica
Lainey: Wait, you did "Bohemian Rhapsody"?
Erica: So?
Lainey: It's the greatest rock song ever written, and you and I both know I am the only one with the vocal chops to do it justice.
Erica: You seriously think you're the Freddie Mercury of this band?
Lainey: [chuckles] Oh, I know I'm the Freddie Mercury.
Erica: You are so not the Freddie Mercury. If anything, I'm Freddie Mercury.
Lainey: We all know a band only has one Freddie Mercury, which is me.
Erica: Well, if I'm not the Freddie Mercury, then why did my manager sign me and not you?
Lainey: You said he wasn't your manager!
Quote from Barry
Barry: Band splitting up? Yeah, I knew this would happen.
Erica: No, and go away. You're dripping Popsicle all over yourself.
Barry: Or am I dripping knowledge? Fact! Lainey doesn't need any of you 'cause she has the best manager of all time who started yesterday me.
Lainey: You hear that? I'm going solo, not you.
