Pops: Hey! Who wants to celebrate my big win with lobsters at Bookbinder's?
Beverly: We need to talk.
Pops: Me first. I dug myself a really big hole and saw no way out. I've always been Lucky Al, and it felt like I lost my touch in my old age. But with this win, it proves I'm still me. So, thank you, Pumpkin.

Bill Lewis: Sweet Lord, lady. I just wandered over here for salsa, and now I owe an old man thirty G's?
Beverly: That man will learn his lesson. Gamblers never win.
Bill Lewis: Except this time.
Beverly: Yeah, it's not great.

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Thanks to my dad, I realized I had to stop listening to all my critics and just make something that I believed in. Maybe it wouldn't be perfect, but at least it would be real.

Beverly: Are you sure about these lobsters, Dad? This place is very expensive.
Pops: We're supposed to be celebrating my big win.
Beverly: Dad, stop. You didn't win anything.
Pops: What?
Beverly: I didn't place the bets because I was trying to protect you. This gambling has become a real problem.
Pops: You think I don't know that? Bevy, I needed this win. I needed to be me again.
Beverly: Not like this. None of this is you.
Pops: I just thought I could figure this out on my own. I'm used to fixing problems in this family, not being the problem.
Beverly: Well, now it's my turn to help fix this for you.

Adam: Are you actually playing my game?
Barry: For the record, I don't run like that, but it's kinda fun.
Erica: And as hard as it is to admit, we know you made this game with love.
Adam: I really did, but if writing about my life is gonna hurt the people I love, then, honestly, I don't want to do it.
Erica: No, Dad was right. It's what you do best. And, honestly, it's fine you changed my name. It gives me plausible deniability over all the stupid stuff I've done. And, man, I've done some really stupid stuff.
Adam: I'm gonna hug you both, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Adult Adam: [v.o.] That day, I learned what it means when they say "Write what you know." There was nothing I knew better or loved more than the Goldbergs.
