Quote from Beverly in Horse Play
Adam: Mr. G, NYU is my dream school. I'll do anything. Mr. Glascott: I get it, but the admissions people need to get it, too. Beverly: Fine. Adam, we're gonna get you into college, but first, go make a pishy. It's gonna be a long drive. Mr. Glascott: You both can't go. Beverly: You're right. Schmoo, wait for me at home. No stove or scissors till I get back. Mr. Glascott: Please listen. It has to be Adam and Adam alone. The admissions people need to see that he can advocate for himself. Beverly: Or I call them and tell them how good he is at advocating for himself. Adam: There you go, Mama. No wonder you got in. Mr. Glascott: Adam needs to do this on his own. Beverly: But with his mama. Mr. Glascott: No. Adam: Looks like it's time for this guy to step up. But first, she was right about that pishy.
