Quote from Adam

Adam: 'Sup? I think you're in my seat.
Brea: Adam, what are you doing?
Adam: Just tryin' to sit where the sittin's good. Know what I'm sayin', chief?
Claire: Hold on. Is this Adam Goldberg?
Brea: I'm not sure it is.
Adam: [sits down backwards] Oop! This chair was not built for backwards sitting. Hiya, toots.
Claire: Funny guy coming through. You were so right, Brea. This guy's the freakin' best. So hilarious, like a young Rick Moranis.
Adam: You think I'm as funny as Rick Moranis?
Claire: Hell yeah! I'm talking Moranis in Strange Brew. "Take off, you hoser!"
Adam: "You take off, eh?" [both laugh] Brea, your sister called me a hoser. It's a real connection through the art of gentle Canadian insults.

Quote from Adam

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Yep, showing up uninvited couldn't have gone any better... until it happened to me.
Claire: Knock-knock! Is this one of those co-ed-toilet deals?
Adam: Oh, my God! It's super not. You can't be in here.
Claire: Eh, sure I can. The line for the ladies' is stupid.
Adam: Well, I'll just get out of your way then.
Claire: Before you do, there's actually something personal I wanted to talk to you about.
Adam: More personal than storming into a gentleman's inner sanctum?

Quote from Mr. Glascott

Beverly: Oh, this is terrible. If what the vent suggests is true, Erica's marriage is in shambles.
Mr. Glascott: [gasps] Mother father! She's destined to become a spite-filled spinster.
Beverly: We have to do something.
Mr. Glascott: We? This goes beyond neighborly duties.
Beverly: You're the key to this whole thing. If I go up there, they're gonna kick me out, but you're a counselor.
Mr. Glascott: A guidance counselor, not a marriage counselor.
Beverly: You can do anything. You got Alan Friedbaum into SUNY Purchase.
Mr. Glascott: I did do that somehow. And he's not your standardized-test taker. And his tardiness? Whoo!
Beverly: Exactly. Now please help me get my baby into the University of Love.
Mr. Glascott: The U of L? That's a reach for all of us. But I guess it is just talking and listening.
Beverly: Yes, two things you're doing too much of right now. Go.

Quote from Mr. Glascott

Adult Adam: [v.o.] And, so, against his better judgment... and the most basic common sense... Mr. Glascott, our neighbor, was on a mission to save a marriage that didn't need saving.
Mr. Glascott: There they are.
Erica: Mr. Glascott. What are you doing in my childhood bedroom?
Mr. Glascott: Just following the sounds of love and happiness. That's what I'm hearing in here, right?
Geoff: Um... I guess.
Mr. Glascott: Don't guess. Let's know. [sits down]
Erica: Are you allowed to sit on my bed?
Mr. Glascott: Probably not.

Quote from Erica

Erica: Okay, when I uncover the vent, you and I are gonna have a fake fight.
Geoff: Why, exactly?
Erica: To mess with my mom as revenge for violating our privacy.
[Erica picks up the towel blocking the vent and throws it on a pile of towels on her bedroom floor]
Geoff: Damn it to hell, Erica.
Erica: [quietly] Comin' in hot. I like it.
Geoff: How can there possibly be more towels on the floor?!
Erica: Oh, that's good. [loudly] I don't need to hang up my towels. That's why I married you.
Mr. Glascott: [in the living room with Beverly] Oh! They're engaging about their core issue.
Beverly: Quiet, John! This is none of your business.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: Sorry about the whole vent thing.
Erica: We agreed we weren't gonna talk.
Beverly: Of course. And I will honor that. But before I do, I just got to say, you've got to pick up those towels.
Erica: You're on his side?
Beverly: No sides. Just some gentle advice from someone who's been happily married for years.
Erica: Well, no, thank you.
Beverly: Look, you are a strong-willed woman, and that's great, but sometimes [chuckles]... you just don't listen.
Erica: I'm definitely not right now.
Beverly: You may think his towel obsession is a little bit silly... and it is... but to him, it matters.
Erica: I know. I also know my carelessness caused a toxic cloud of black mold. But I don't like to be wrong.
Beverly: That's why I never am.
Erica: Thanks, Mom.
Beverly: And, look, if you ever just need someone to listen, I'll always be here.
Erica: I know. Whether I want it or not.
