Quote from Adam in The Goldbergs' Excellent Adventure
Adam: Bar, that's the pen Pops used to write Grandma with when he was away during the war. In every letter, he promised he'd come home safely. And when he did, he said she'd better be ready to marry him. Barry: How do you know all that? Adam: I know everything about him. He was my best friend. Barry: I-I wish I got to know him like that. I feel like I messed that up. Adam: You had your own special thing with him, and it meant the world to him. That's why he wanted you to have that pen. Shorty: This is why Al would brag about you guys all the time. So much love. Adam: You know, if we want, we can still spread some ashes. I'm pretty sure I do know Pops' favorite place. Beverly: You knew all along? Adam: Just seemed easier to have an adventure than to say goodbye.
