‘For Your Own Good’
Season 1, Episode 18 - Aired March 11, 2014
Murray is a creature of habit and does not take well to change, so he is not happy when Beverly replaces his much loved chair. After Beverly insists she did it for Murray's own good, he sets out to make changes in her life. Meanwhile, when Adam is bullied by a kid on the school bus, he looks to his big brother to fix things. After Barry takes over the school bus and enforces his own reign of terror, Adam soon regrets asking Barry for help.
Quote from Murray
Beverly: You know, scientific research shows that you need to let your privates breathe, especially if we're gonna have more kids one day.
Murray: First, I will never wear shorts under my pants. It's madness! And second, having more children is literally my worst nightmare!
Quote from Barry
Adam: So that means we're cool, too, right?
Barry: You led a mutiny against me, dude. We are most definitely not cool.
Adam: I didn't have a choice. You went mad with power!
Barry: Listen, I know from the outside it may seem like I have a perfect life, but the truth is there are a lot of jerks at school that aren't so nice to me. It was cool to have a place where I had respect for once.
Adam: I didn't know that.
Barry: Here, take your Garbage Pail Kids back. You don't need to pay me to protect you. I want to because you're my brother.
Quote from Murray
Murray: You never liked that chair. You've always been jealous of what we've had together.
Beverly: "We"? Who's "we"?
Murray: Me and Mr. Chair. That's right, it had a name.
Beverly: Well, it's not a very good one.
Quote from Adam
Adam: That's my big brother, Barry. He's clinically insane.
JC Spink: For real?
Adam: The doctors gave up on him. He's too crazy for their modern medicine.
Quote from Barry
Barry: (on the phone) The dude on TV said my football phone would be here in eight weeks. It's been ten! I mean, what am I supposed to do, huh? Make phone calls on a phone-shaped phone like some kind of animal? I say good day to you, sir.
Quote from Barry
Adam: Speaking of difficult problems, is there any way you would start riding the bus to school with me again?
Barry: Huh? Why would I ride the bus with you when I carpool with Erica and her smoking-hot friend Lainey who secretly loves me but is too afraid to act on it?
Quote from Barry
Barry: I've given it a lot of thought, and I'm respectfully declining your stupid-ass invitation.
Quote from Barry
Barry: I'm in.
Adam: For real?
Barry: Listen, bro. You're literally the most annoying, un-athletic, four-eyed, almost girl-like dork I've ever met.
But you're my brother, and no one beats you up but me.
Quote from Murray
Murray: No, stop! Once the chair molds to your body, there's no going back! It's imprinted to you for life!
Erica: Wha?
Murray: The first 48 hours are the most important. Get up! Get up! Aw, damn it. Now it's got your tiny girl imprint. This is truly the worst thing to ever happen to me.
Quote from Pops
Barry: Popcorn in four minutes!
Pops: Ooh. A cure for polio, a man on the moon, and now this.
