Adult Adam: [v.o.] While Barry and Erica had closed the book on living together, I was encouraging my mom to keep writing her story as a cookbook author.
Beverly: Adam, I said I was done.
Adam: You can't be! You've always told me my dreams are possible, so I'm here to tell you the same thing.
Beverly: I know. But we tried it my way, and we tried it your way, and neither was good.
Adam: But there's another way. We do it together. You pull back on the horror stories, and I pull back on the schmaltz, and then, we meet somewhere in the middle.
Beverly: You think that would work?
Adam: I know it will.
