Quote from Pops

Adam: What am I watching?!
Pops: Come on. The duck is like E.T. He just wants to go home.
Adam: Then how come he's spending so much time managing that band?
Murray: Al, the duck's gonna make it with that lady. What have you brought us to?
Pops: A family film. It's a family film.
Adam: I can't watch this anymore.
Murray: Well, then let's go.
Adam: Really? We can do that?
Murray: It's about time you learned that an adult can walk out of anything and demand his damn money back. I do it once a year. Let's go.
Pops: Adam, no! It's not that bad. A lady and a duck in bed? Who the [bleep] thought this was a good idea?

Quote from Adam

Adam: After I watched that "Star Wars" special, I've been re-evaluating all the things I loved as a child.
Pops: Don't do that.
Adam: All the movies I worship have come into question.
Pops: Don't do that.
Adam: "Short Circuit 2," "Time Bandits," and don't even get me started on "Jaws 4: The Revenge."
Pops: Stop right there. I know you love that movie.
Adam: Until now! Why would a shark swim from New England to The Bahamas to eat a lady who's husband killed his shark friend?
Pops: Sharks have feelings, too.
Adam: "This time, it's personal." How's that possible? It's a fish! Fish don't hold grudges.
Pops: Oh, so now you're a shark expert.

Quote from Adam

Adam: Wow. That was so cool.
Murray: Were we watching two different things?
Adam: You don't know "Star Wars." This special is really for the true fan.
Murray: So, the true fan wants to watch Dorothy from "The Golden Girls" flirt with an alien?
Adam: Uh, okay, I admit it was an odd choice to have Bea Arthur manage the cantina. Let's just move on.
Murray: And what's the deal with Lumpy and Itchy?
Adam: Chewie's family had to be named something.
Murray: Lumpy and Itchy? Couldn't they have spent 15 more seconds on the names?
Adam: I don't know! And I don't know why Art Carney is a family friend or why Jefferson Starship is performing for the Empire.
Murray: Starship's in their name. That one actually makes sense to me.
Adam: Let's never speak of this again.

Quote from Adam

Murray: Hi. Uh, three tickets for the movie about the talking duck. You know, I only see one movie a year. This better be good.
Adam: It's George Lucas! I bet everyone in school's gonna see it. Well, except the other Adam Goldberg in 11th grade. He only goes to that cinema downtown that serves wine.

Quote from Murray

Murray: So, you didn't love it. Who cares?
Adam: I care! I love "Star Wars." It's my life. It makes no sense why I didn't love this, too.
Murray: It happens to every kid. The older you get, the more you realize that all the things you loved as a boy are pointless.
Adam: Are you saying I'm, like losing my sense of childlike wonder?
Murray: Well, you're not a child anymore, so, yes. And frankly, it's about time. It happened to me when I was 6.
Adam: 6?
Murray: My dad lost a bet. We slept in a car. It was a whole thing. Hey, good talk.

Quote from Barry

Barry: Well, this will be the song that puts me on the map. I'm guaranteed to make millions off of it.
Erica: Millions? By writing a Hanukkah song?
Barry: Think about it. What's the greatest cash cow of our time? Give up? It's "Happy Birthday."
Erica: Wait. [singing] "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"- Dude, no one owns that song.
Barry: Wrong. Two little old ladies wrote it 100 years ago. Now every time it's sung on TV or movies, they get $50,000.
Barry: [singing] Happy birthday to you.
Barry: Boom!
Beverly: That's another $50,000.
Barry: Well, now I'm gonna be the birthday guy for Hanukkah. Ka-ching!

Quote from Pops

Pops: Hey, kiddo. What's shaking?
Adam: What's shaking is "Ghostbusters 2." It's riddled with logic problems. Since when can you use magic slime and a Nintendo controller to make the Statue of Liberty walk?
Pops: Since the ghost fellas can do anything. Why are you being so hard on them?

Quote from Pops

Pops: Thought you might want this back.
Adam: Holiday Special? Did you actually watch it?
Pops: Yep, and guess what? I think you missed something pretty big. This guy. Know him?
Adam: Of course. Boba Fett. He's my favorite character.
Pops: Got to admit, he was pretty cool in this.
Adam: Wait a second. This was made way before "Empire Strikes Back," so if you think about it, the "Holiday Special" gave us the Fett.
Pops: All I know is with the right point of view, this special really is pretty damn special.
Adam: Pops. Um... I don't get it. How do you manage to always see the good in everything?
Pops: It's easy if you never lose your childlike wonder. It doesn't matter how old you are. People like us always have it.
Adam: Really
Pops: Really. I need you to promise me one thing. Always hold on to that wonder, no matter what.
Adam: I will, Pops. I love you.
Pops: I know.

Quote from Murray

Adam: Boring? This is two hours' worth of unseen "Star Wars" goodness.
Murray: "Star Wars." Is that the one with the bear?
Adam: I mean, I-I even heard rumor we meet Chewie's family.
Murray: Chuy? The guy who works in my stock room?
Adam: No, Chewbacca.
Murray: Is he the little guy who yells, "The plane, the plane"?
Adam: No, the wookiee? Han Solo's fuzz ball? [Imitates Chewbacca]
Murray: [snoring]
Adam: No dozing!

Quote from Erica

Ms. Cinoman: Erica, if you didn't want the solo, then why did you sign up for it?
Erica: I didn't.
Ms. Cinoman: Oh, yes, you did. With a glitter pen.
Erica: That's not my handwriting. 'Cause I would never dot the "I" in "Erica" with a heart. Oh, she is so dead!
