Quote from Erica in The Goldberg Girls
Erica: Wait a second, you're dad's kid, too. So how did you not inherit his crappy outlook on love? Adam: 'Cause I've chosen other, way better paternal role models, like John Hughes. Erica: The reclusive billionaire who saved his bodily fluids? Adam: No! That's Howard Hughes. I'm talking about the filmmaker who makes romantic teen movies. That's who I model my life after.
