‘Livin' on a Prayer’
Season 1, Episode 23 - Aired May 13, 2014
When Murray's high school free throw record is broken, his old school invites him to attend a game as a guest of honor. After Beverly eventually talks a reluctant Murray into attending the banquet, he actually starts to enjoy reliving his glory days, until the crowd turns on him after an embarrassing basketball shot. Back at the Goldberg house, Barry tries to throw a house party to finally make a name for himself in high school. When the party looks to be a bust, Erica calls her friends to turn it around, but Barry soon realizes nobody at his epic party even knows who he is.
Quote from Adam
Adult Adam: [v.o.] When it comes to my childhood, I may not always remember exactly when something happened, or exactly who was there, but I do know that it was 1980-something and it was awesome.
Quote from Murray
Murray: Here's the thing about that. Pass.
Beverly: No pass.
Murray: Pass!
Beverly: I already told them you'd be there.
Murray: Why would you do that? You know I don't have an interest in things.
Quote from Murray
Adam: (playing a video game with Barry) Pull up! Pull up! You're gonna crash the plane.
Murray: I was in a plane crash once. Nap time.
Quote from Murray
Beverly: Why are you so mad at me? I saw the look on your face. You were thrilled to be back out there on that court.
Murray: You know why I don't talk about the past? I'm 'a tell you. Because it was great. I was class president. I was a basketball star. I was a hero. And now I'm just none of those things.
Beverly: Have you ever tried shooting the ball this way?
Murray: It was a very common shooting style!
Quote from Lainey
Lainey: So, why you out here, missing your own party?
Barry: Well, it has come to my attention that this is Erica's party, and I'm just a big, giant, invisible bag of suck.
Lainey: Oh, come on. You're not invisible. You're Barry Goldberg, the guy who freaked out on the lunch lady because they ran out of pudding.
Quote from Murray
Barry: Mom, dad, why are you home? You're supposed to be at the hotel. There was a banquet. Who skips a banquet?
Murray: A party?! I don't even like my own kids, let alone a house full of other people's!
Quote from Beverly
Murray: Time's up! Get the hell out of my house!
Beverly: And leave my [beep] sweaters!
Quote from Lainey
Barry: Why is that the only thing anyone ever remembers about me?
Lainey: Hey, they promised pudding. They had no pudding.
Barry: It was a dark day.
Lainey: Mmm.
Lainey: Look, I know you feel like this year was a bust, but you did a ton of cool stuff karate in the talent show. You're on the wrestling team. You did that rap video about stone cold groovin' on a Ferris wheel.
Barry: You like my rap?
Lainey: It's hilarious. Wait, that's what you were going for, right?
Barry: Yeah! How do you know so much stuff about me?
Lainey: Your sister's my best friend. I've known you my whole life, and I can honestly say there's no one like you.
