Beverly: That beautiful dum‐dum needs to get his head screwed on straight.
Pops: So, what's your plan? You gonna ride him like a show pony till he bends to your will?
Beverly: Adam's graduating next year, and I don't want to send him into the world upset with me. I'm gonna be the good cop so he can be upset with other people.

Quote from Adam
Mr. Perott: Adam, these scores are not so hot. I thought nerds were good at math.
Adam: I'm more of a geek. W‐ We're still social and physical klutzes with quirky personalities, but we have intense passions for fringe interests.
Mr. Perott: And what's a dweeb?
Adam: Look, it's a rich continuum of discomfort, but what should I do about my test scores?
Quote from Murray
Beverly: So?
Murray: Why have we never been to Portugal?
Beverly: Who gives a crap about Portugal? How'd it go with Adam's guidance counselor?
Murray: I think Adam's gonna spend about a year figuring it out.
Beverly: What?! No, you were supposed to be the bad cop!
Murray: You know, I've never been barefoot on anything but tile. Tile, Bevy! It's no way to live!
Quote from Beverly
Adam: Inside this envelope is my PSAT scores.
Beverly: The warm‐up test before the real test. Oh! The stakes have never been higher.
