Beverly Quote #1124
Quote from Beverly in Geoff the Pleaser
Other Adam: Can I answer any questions for you, ma'am?
Beverly: Oh, just one. Uh, who the [bleep] do you think you are?
Other Adam: Whoa! This is a family-friendly audio-video store. Except for that section over behind the saloon doors.
Beverly: You spoke to my son, also Adam Goldberg, and snuffed out his perfect little-boy dreams.
Other Adam: Look, lady, I just call 'em like I see 'em. It's tough to make it in the movies.
Beverly: Oh, for you, maybe. [chuckles] But not for my little Stanley Schmoo-brick.
Other Adam: Well, that gives me a sense of what I'm dealing with here. Next time, I won't burst the little bubble you keep him in.
Beverly: No next time. This time. You are gonna fix this.
Other Adam: And how am I gonna do that?
Beverly: Simple. I'm casting you in the role of a lifetime, as "guy who gets his big break."
Other Adam: Sorry, but I kinda put acting on hold.
Beverly: Well, take it off hold. The pay's $50. [Other Adam scoffs] Well, I suppose I could throw in, uh, me not coming down here every day and making your life miserable.
Other Adam: All right, I'm on the project.

Murray: Yes, but also, who's the least likely person to be asked to do anything?
Geoff: Oh, my God. The guy with no pants.
Pops: Hey, Mur, could you give me a ride to the pharmacy... Oh, he's not even wearing pants. I'll bus it.
Geoff: My God. You have given me such a gift!
Murray: It's my life's work. Don't waste it. Get out there and do as little as you can.
Geoff: I'm gonna do nothing and make you proud.
