Beverly Quote #1125
Quote from Beverly in Geoff the Pleaser
Beverly: Hello and welcome.
Other Adam: Hey, Adam, did you leave this Philadelphia Inquirer Metro section at the store the other day?
Adam: Nope. Sorry.
Other Adam: Huh. Well, I better figure out whose it is soon, 'cause I gotta catch a flight to Hollywood, California, moviemaking capital of the world.
Adam: But I thought you were reevaluating your career choice.
Other Adam: I was, but then I got some amazing news. See, my, uh, ex-roommate's cousin's neighbor is friends with Brian De Palma's agent's assistant, and slipped him my McDLT commercial.
Adam: Ooh. Seriously?
Other Adam: Hm-Mmm.
Beverly: But, wait, there's more. I'd imagine.
Other Adam: The assistant got it to the agent, who got it to De Palma, who liked what he saw and cast me in his new Molly Ringwald picture.
Adam: Holy balls! America's angsty ginger princess!
Beverly: And I bet that could lead to other things.
Other Adam: No truer words have ever been spoken. Well, good luck on one of the easiest careers you could ever choose. And, uh, call me. We'll split a salad at Spago.
Adam: Doesn't sound like enough food, but I'm in!
Beverly: Oh, wow! I mean, just, wow. If something so random and amazing could happen to him, I bet there's hope for you, too, huh?
Adam: You know it! I'm back in the festival. See ya, babe. Have your people call my people.

Geoff: So brilliant! So, what's P?
Murray: It's the thing I'm most proud of. Pants.
Geoff: Pants?
Murray: Why do you think I come in the house and take off my pants?
Geoff: I assumed it had to do with comfort and generally just giving up.
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.
