‘Mama Drama’
Season 2, Episode 2 - Aired October 1, 2014
Adam's dream of being the lead in the school's production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" is quashed when he's cast as Todd the Apostle. Believing her son is lead star material, Beverly helps Adam be the lead in his own rival production, but the fame goes to his head and leaves Beverly with a difficult decision to make. Meanwhile, when Murray's hatred of traffic leads to him and Barry missing a historic hockey goal, Barry refuses to go to any more hockey matches with his dad.
Quote from Erica
Erica: Sorry I quit the play, but in my defense it's a turd on wheels.
Quote from Beverly
Adam: I know every part. The question is, which one do I audition for?
Beverly: There is only one role suitable for my talented, delicious little boy. My baby is Jesus.
Quote from Adam
Adam: Miss Cinoman! I think there's been some kind of mistake because I'm pretty familiar with the musical, and there is no Todd the Apostle.
Ms. Cinoman: Oh, there's no Darnell the apostle, either.
Ms. Cinoman: But there was such a large turnout, I took the liberty of expanding Jesus' followers, from 12 to 30.
Adam: 30? You can't fit that many people at the last supper.
Ms. Cinoman: Oh, yeah, there's gonna be another, smaller table off to the side.
Adam: I'm at the kids' table at the last supper?!
Ms. Cinoman: I'm sorry. There was a lot of competition this year. Remember there are no small parts, only small actors.
Adam: But there are small parts! Very small! Like Todd!
Quote from Murray
Murray: If I could, I'd go back in time and do it all over again. As a matter of fact, I'd leave earlier!
Barry: That's what you'd do with a time machine? You'd go back and miss traffic? You wouldn't help people?! Save President Lincoln?
Murray: Oh, I'd help Abe. I'd go to the theater, I'd say, "Hey, man, you ought to leave early tonight. Traffic's horrible, trust me." Boom, just saved his life!
Quote from Beverly
Principal Ball: Okay. I'm glad to see that we're all calm now. Some ugly things were said. And done. Mostly by Mrs. Goldberg.
Quote from Pops
Murray: Gimme the remote.
Pops: What? I thought you had it.
Murray: I just came in the door! Why would I have a remote?
Pops: I don't know. I figured you took it to work.
Murray: Why would I take the remote to work?
Pops: Who the hell knows? You're a quirky guy.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: Tell me something, Earl. Uh, how's your wife?
Principal Ball: She's fine.
Beverly: Lovely woman. Pam, is it? Remind me again how you two got together.
Principal Ball: Well, you knew her from jazzercize class. You introduced us.
Beverly: Did I, now? Oh. And how was the wedding?
Principal Ball: You were at the wedding. You made a speech, even though nobody asked you to.
Beverly: Well, from what I remember, that was the night you said, "How can I ever repay you?" And I said, "One day, I will come to you, and I will ask you for a favor. And you said, "But of course, Beverly. But of course." That day is today.
Quote from Adam
Adam: I can't believe I'm doing a rival play! Now the question is, what's our show? It's got to be big bigger than Jesus.
Beverly: Music Man?
Adam: Yawn.
Beverly: Guys and Dolls?
Adam: Seen it.
Beverly: Phantom?
Adam: You want to cover half of this face?
Quote from Erica
Beverly: Hello, daughter. Have a seat. I just happened to be digging around in your closet, and guess what I found. Three beers, a fake ID, and sick notes for school that I don't remember writing.
Erica: There is a simple explanation for all of that. I just need half an hour to collect my thoughts.
