‘I Rode a Hoverboard’

Season 2, Episode 8 -  Aired December 3, 2014

When Adam breaks his arm dancing to George Michael, he tells his friends he injured himself falling off a hoverboard like in the "Back to the Future" movie. When Adam's lie threatens to unravel, Adam swears on his friendship with Emmy Mirsky. Meanwhile, the Goldbergs become regular patrons of a new Chinese restaurant in town, making Beverly feel like her family don't need her and her cooking any more.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: I mean, sure, my feet ache, and I've done permanent damage to my arches and probably ruined a very lucrative dance career, but I think it's worth it.

Quote from Barry

Murray: Yeah, a new restaurant opened up around the corner. It's called China Garden.
Barry: Chinese food? Never had it, so I don't like it.

Quote from Pops

Pops: Want my advice, kiddo? Lie your ass off.
Adam: What? You're supposed to be my role model and moral compass.
Pops: We're talking about muscles Mirsky, here. She's a groovy dame and a hell of a best friend, and we got to do whatever it takes to save this friendship.

Quote from Adam

Adam: Yippee! Here I am, testing out the world's first actual hover- Ow, ow! It's squishing my parts.

Quote from Murray

Murray: Bev, you've got a lot of nerve! We're grown men. You cannot control us.
Beverly: Don't be silly. Of course I can.
Murray: Fine, you can! But the one freedom we have is food, and you can't take that away from us. I won't let you!

Quote from Adam

Emmy: All you did was expose yourself as a Wham! Fan.
Adam: Technically, it's George Michael's solo effort. But probably not your point.

Quote from Barry

Beverly: If you're looking for food, I got your ban lifted at China Garden. Enjoy your exotic new lives.
Pops: Bevy, we thought all about what you said, and we're sorry.
Murray: How could you ever think this family doesn't need you? I mean, look at us! We're a mess! We'd be living under a rock if it wasn't for you.
Beverly: Well, you got a point there.
Barry: We appreciate what you do for us. And dad didn't even tell me to say that.
