‘Kara-Te’
Season 1, Episode 11 - Aired December 10, 2013
When Barry signs up for the school's holiday talent show in the hopes of impressing a girl, he's disappointed when his karate act isn't accepted. Nobody is more disappointed than Beverly, who is blinded by her "mom goggles", and intervenes to get Barry added to the show. Soon, Murray wades in to save Barry from humiliation. Meanwhile, Pops tries to convince Erica to perform in the talent show, but she thinks it will harm her reputation.
Quote from Pops
Pops: Hello. I didn't realize you were here. Me, I'm just sitting here, relaxing, strumming the old banjo.
Quote from Erica
Erica: Don't take this the wrong way, but toting a banjo up on stage isn't exactly what you'd call cool.
Pops: Since when is the banjo not cool?
Erica: Since the invention of the banjo.
Quote from Erica
Pops: Erica, when you were younger, you used to do everything Volleyball, gymnastics, school chorus. What happened to you?
Erica: Well, I go to high school, where people judge you.
Quote from Adam
Beverly: All right, we've gathered you here because we've got some great news. There's been some movement on the talent show.
Adam: Again? This has been an emotional roller coaster.
Quote from Barry
Barry: 'Cause mom meddled, I'm not doing that show any more!
And 'cause dad doesn't believe in me, I'm gonna prove you wrong, and I'm gonna do the show.
Murray: Wait, which one is it?
Barry: I don't know! I'm just so angry at both of you.
Quote from Beverly
Barry: I'm sorry, was that Barry Goldberg, or Barry Manilow? 'Cause I can't tell the difference!
Quote from Mr. Glascott
Barry: I can't go out there.
Mr. Glascott: What are you talking about? You're our closer. We gotta have a closer. Or I could just end it.
Quote from Mr. Glascott
Eric: My grandfather said you might have a spot open for me.
Mr. Glascott: Well, seeing as I don't care at all, yes. [on stage] One of the Goldbergs.
Quote from Pops
Pops: Hey, kiddo, mind if I sit down?
Erica: I know what you're gonna say, and I'm not doing the talent show.
Pops: That's not why I'm here. I came to borrow this magazine. "Eight ways to catch a hunk." What is this garbage?
Quote from Pops
Pops: Come on, you have an amazing voice and you're terrific on the guitar. You got to play the guitar.
Erica: Can't. Sold it.
Pops: What?! You loved that guitar.
Erica: And now I love my leather jacket.
Pops: That is very angering.
