Adam Quote #908
Quote from Adam in Island Time
Adam: You switched my guidance counselor?
Beverly: Only because he wasn't telling you what I wanted you to hear.
Adam: Oh, then why didn't you just tell me? Instead, I got caught up in some kind of ward triangle.
Beverly: I was just trying to be supportive.
Adam: No, you weren't. You just wanted me to think you were supportive. You were trying to control me.
Beverly: Okay, fine. But you are making a huge mistake. You won't have a good future if you don't go to college, and you can't do that if you don't try to raise your score.
Adam: I did try, and I still blew it. At least you supporting me made me feel it wasn't the end of the world, but that was all a lie.

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.
Pops: That sounds wrong, but sure.
Beverly: What's in this envelope could guarantee a full ride to an ivy or shame you into a state school, where your friends will be dentists, newspaper writers, and, God forbid, teachers.
