Season 4, Episode 24 -  Aired May 17, 2017

As Erica gets ready to graduate, it turns out Beverly isn't the only one afraid of what the future holds. Meanwhile, Barry tries to make the most of the time he has left with Lainey, and Adam is surprised when Dana returns to town.

Quote from Adam

Jackie: It's still weird between me and my old boyfriend.
Adam: Uh, where is he? All I see is Ruben Amaro Jr. casually displaying his athleticism.
Jackie: Yeah. That's my ex.
Adam: Wait. You were with Ruben Amaro Jr.? The Ruben Amaro Jr.?
Jackie: From seventh to ninth grade. Why?
Adam: You spanned three grades with the guy who isn't afraid to change into his gym clothes without a towel around his waist? This is not okay!

Quote from Barry

Barry: Told you, bro. All love ends.
Adam: Stop! We'll work it out.
Barry: No, you won't. You'll just end up like me, sniffing a sweater Lainey left in my room to remind me of her.
Adam: That's Mom's.
Barry: No!

Quote from Pops

Pops: Bev, stop with the crying. I can't hear the children say stupid things.
Beverly: [sobbing] But my baby is graduating from high school, a day I've been dreading since she graduated from my body.
Murray: She's gone forever! Hoo-hoo! One down, two to go!
Pops: I think both of your attitudes are very extreme and terrible.

Quote from Lainey

Barry: Dude, how could you leave early and not tell me?
Lainey: I'll explain everything when the time is right, which is not now!
Barry: No! No way. Do not walk away from me.
Lainey: I'm not walking away. I'm slowly and deliberately marching to receive my diploma.

Quote from Erica

Principal Ball: And we'll just move right along to Erica Goldberg.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] My sister was steps away from starting her adult life, but as she stood speechless on that stage, nothing scared her more.
Erica: Yeah, I'm good.
Principal Ball: Erica, please let's just end this. Just take it.
Erica: No.
Principal Ball: Take the diploma.
Erica: Pass.
Principal Ball: You can't pass.
Erica: But I can, and I do.
Principal Ball: Take it.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: Coach Mellor, we meet again one last, final time.
Coach Mellor: I take it you read that little note I left for Erica. All right, let's tango.
Beverly: She's not coming. It's just me.
Coach Mellor: But I kind of need her here. I had a big, angry speech meant to guilt and shame her for missing my class 27 times this year.
Beverly: This is an outrage. You have no right to target her t- 27 times? Wow. That's a lot.
Coach Mellor: And she forged a doctor's note saying she couldn't run or jump because of "lady problems."

Beverly: How dare you accuse her of forgery when you- "Dr. Edmund T. Doctorman." Oh, come on.

Quote from Coach Mellor

Coach Mellor: I warned her for three years: fail gym, pay the price.
Beverly: Okay, she's still a wonderful girl, and I will stop at nothing until you give me that diploma.
Coach Mellor: Ugh. Here you go.
Beverly: That's it?
Coach Mellor: Brace yourself. Ready to have your mind blown? I have no real power. My greatest weapon is threatening the kids with failing gym. So, every year, I terrify the attractive, popular kids to let them know that their actions have consequences, even though they really, really don't.
Beverly: Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want me to call Erica and bring her in here?
Coach Mellor: Eh, the moment's gone. You raised an amazing woman, Beverly Goldberg. It's been a pleasure doing battle with you.

Quote from Lainey

Barry: Ugh! Look at us! Look at us closely and know that one day you'll end up just like us, you ridiculous children.
Jackie: This is getting weird and insulting.
Lainey: All right. You'll see. We're the future you, and it sucks hard.

Quote from Adam

Adam: Dana! Hey! How are things going up in here? I was gonna call.
Adam: I'm back for the summer. This summer? That's crazy! I'm crazy! Summer! Hot times! Fun in the sun! Camp.

Quote from Adam

Jackie: I'm Jackie.
Dana: Hi. Dana.
Adam: Sorry! Yes! Jackie, meet Dana! Dana, meet Jackie! Introductions, new friends Not friends, just street ladies, ladies of the street. No. You know what I mean.
Dana: Well, when you're free, we should get together and catch up.
Adam: Ketchup! Mustard, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun. Welp, great seeing everybody. Bye, now. [runs away]
