Quote from Adam
Erica: I can't believe you broke your arm dancing.
Adam: It was either that or when mom jumped on me.
Quote from Barry
Erica: Just come up with a good lie. Something cool.
Barry: Got it! You were Van-surfing like Stiles from "Teen Wolf"!
Erica: Idiot, we don't have a van.
Barry: No, wait something about ninjas! No, wait sharks. Ninja Sharks!
Quote from Murray
Murray: Come on, it looks good. There's a happy dragon on the sign patting his full tummy.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: Okay, all I have to do is put this block of frozen broccoli into the boiling-hot grease, and ....
(Outside covered in smoke)
Beverly: Okay, Beverly's Chinese Palace is officially closed.
Quote from Adam
Erica: Now, tell me a lie.
Adam: I'm a fish.
Erica: Just do the hoverboard thing.
Adam: (mumbles) I rode a hoverboard.
Erica: Horrible! You have like 10 tells. No eye contact, you're fidgeting, and you smell like fear.
Adam: That might be the cast. It's gotten super-stinky. Smell.
Quote from Adam
Adam: I rode a hoverboard!
Teacher: Okay. Odd thing to say when we're talking about mitochondria, but, since you brought it up, I feel obligated as your science teacher to inform you all that hoverboards aren't real.
Adam: Well, that's your opinion.
Teacher: No, that's the opinion of gravity.
Adam: It's a grey area.
Teacher: Couldn't be clearer.
Adam: Well, we can agree to disagree.
Teacher: No, we can't.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: I told him to come back tomorrow night with his sister. Jenny, is it? Sweet girl. She's gonna love my mac 'n cheese meatballs. That's right. I'll combine an entree and side into a super-dish. I don't give a [beep].
Quote from Pops
Beverly: You all have your other things going on. Your work, your school, your hyper-sexual lifestyle.
Pops: Hey.
Quote from Adam
Dave Kim: Wow, wait. You were on a hoverboard, as in a flying skateboard?
Adam: We all know what a hoverboard is, Dave Kim. Ha, this putz!
