‘Geoff's New Hat’

Season 8, Episode 10 -  Aired February 3, 2021

Barry feels the JTP are drifting apart after Geoff gets a fashionable new look. Meanwhile, Beverly is upset when Murray doesn't show an interest in her new favorite game, Pictionary.

Quote from Barry

Barry: Dude, I love it.
Geoff: Thanks, Big Tasty.
Barry: Openly mocking the kids who make dumb fashion choices by pretending to like what they like.
Geoff: Wait, what?
Barry: You should've told me you were doing this. I would've brought my monocle. Inside scoop, it's a Snapple lid.
Erica: No, dummy, Geoff's wearing it because he likes it.
Barry: He likes making fun of people who try.
Geoff: Barry, I think I kind of look good in it. It may even be my new thing.
Barry: But we don't do new things.
Geoff: It's just a hat.
Barry: It's not just a hat. It's a gateway to new, unwelcome fashion choices. What's next? Sandals? Pants that aren't jeans? A second hat?! Why am I the only one thinking about this stuff?
Erica: I ask myself that every day.

Quote from Geoff

Geoff: I like my hat, Bar. In fact, it makes me feel more like a Geoffrey than a Geoff. Maybe I'll go by that for a while.
Brett: Hey, dig the cap. Very GQ.
Geoff: Whoa. The magazine with multiple pictures of Pierce Brosnan reading in a hammock?

Quote from Murray

Bill Lewis: You know what you two need? A hot tub. [Dolores gasps] We've got one of those sizzling soakers, and she's the best.
Dolores: It's true. We connect just sitting there.
Beverly: Sitting? That's Murray's favorite thing.
Murray: I-I'm gonna pass on the hot tub.
Beverly: Why not?
Murray: What do I need a hot tub for? Who am I, Hugh Hefner?
Adam: I think even the casual observer would say no.

Quote from Murray

Beverly: I don't even know why I try. Let's just play Pictionary.
Bill Lewis: Hey, that sounds fun.
Murray: Wait, wait, that's tonight?
Beverly: I told you we were having a lovely evening with friends.
Bill Lewis: This is my big night out. I even put on my shirt with buttons that go all the way down.
Murray: How's about you guys draw over there, and I'll watch TV over here?
Beverly: Turn that TV off.
Murray: What? We're all here together. We got you, me, Bill, Dolores, Cagney, and Lacey.
Adam: And us, for some reason.

Quote from Barry

Naked Rob: I love the hat.
Geoff: Aww, thanks, guys.
Barry: No, JTP! Bag on him until he takes it off. I'll start. [Bleep] your [bleep] hat, Geoff.
Geoff: Hey, it's Geoffrey. I'm also trying out a new name.
Naked Rob: Ooh, I love that for you.
Andy: It takes more time to say than Geoff, but I think it's time well spent.
Barry: Enough already! We have a time-honored tradition of razzing each other so mercilessly that we don't dare try new stuff.
Andy: We do. Why, exactly?
Barry: Because it's hilarious. If Matt Bradley were here, he'd agree with me... after I viciously insult his sandals, jean shorts, and million-watt smile. Damn it, Matt Bradley, where are you?!

Quote from Barry

Geoff: Maybe this is an opportunity for the JTP to transform into a more supportive unit.
Naked Rob: Yeah. What if we built each other up instead of tearing each other down?
Andy: And encourage each other to try new things, new challenges, New Coke. I hear it's sweeter.
Naked Rob: Like, I've always wanted to be a leather duster guy. Am I a post-apocalyptic cowboy or a hit man?
Andy: Yeah, yeah, a-and I could rock overalls. You know, like a farmer. Or someone that likes to wear jeans up to their neck.
Geoff: I love that for you guys. Look at us all growing.
Barry: No, you need to stay the same. Naked, short, and Geoff.

Quote from Murray

Adult Adam: [v.o.] While Barry was failing to lead the JTP, my dad was leading my mom to the basement.
Murray: All right, take the mask off. [Beverly gasps] Welcome to the rest of your life.
Beverly: There's a hot tub. In my basement?
Murray: And check it out. There's clouds-and-sky wallpaper to transport you to the great outdoors.
Beverly: Makes me wonder why you didn't just put it outdoors.
Murray: Then what would I do with the wallpaper?
Beverly: You know what, Murray? Thank you. Thank you. I knew you wanted to connect with me, too.
Murray: Well, bon appétit, or whatever it is people say when they first get into a hot tub.

Quote from Murray

Beverly: Oh, it's like I'm on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. [chuckles] Oh, Murray, I've never felt closer to you. [Murray is sitting on the couch] Murray, what are you doing over there? Get in.
Murray: I'm good.
Beverly: But the whole point of having a hot tub is to enjoy it together.
Murray: Ah, this is living.

Quote from Barry

Adult Adam: [v.o.] My sister had helped Geoff find a new look, but he wasn't the only one looking for a transformation.
Barry: Erica, I need a makeover.
Erica: You got it. I just need 7 weeks and a team of 12.
Barry: No, I want you to use your mediocre personal style to make me look so dreadful that Geoff will see the error of his ways and lose that stupid hat.
Pops: Hold on. You want Erica to make you look bad so your friend will remove his hat?
Barry: Pops knows a good plan when he hears one.
Pops: Lucky for you, I'm too into this puzzle to engage any more.
Barry: Please. Make me look like a fool.
Erica: I mean, I think we're starting from a strong place, but I'll do what I can.

Quote from Barry

Adult Adam: [v.o.] And so my sister trotted out some of the worst looks she could muster.
Pops: Wow, you can really see all the curves.
Erica: And the straightaways.
Barry: Damn my versatile form! We're going again.
