Adam Quote #1223
Quote from Adam in Mr. Ships Ahoy
Adult Adam: [v.o.] After years of my mom marching down to the school to have my back, it was time to do the same for her. By going somewhere I'd never dared to go before.
Mr. Glascott: Kitty in the lounge! Meow! Meow!
Adam: You guys call me "Kitty"?
Mr. Perott: We call all students "kitties."
Helen: Not that one senior with the mustache. I call him something else.
Mr. Glascott: What are you doing in here, Adam?
Adam: I'll tell you what I'm doing in here... You suck.
Mr. Woodburn: Excuse you?
Mr. Perott: Not okay!
Coach Nick: Now you're on special teams, too!
Adam: Fail me if you want, but you already failed my mom.
Mr. Woodburn: We failed her? I pulled my groin at her field day! That's my best feature.
Adam: Look, I know she's been hard on you guys in the past, but you've never had her on your side before. Look what she did to your lounge.
Coach Nick: It is a soothing oasis in the midst of our chaotic world.
Adam: If there's one thing you learned about my mom over the years, she never gives up. Give her a chance. She'll be the best ally you've ever had.

Quote from Barry
Adult Adam: [v.o.] And so the JTP set out to brainstorm what makes a man.
Barry: A cowboy hat.
Matt: Uh, youthful optimism?
Barry: Leather pants and work gloves.
Matt: What about a bullwhip? And he puts out cigars with the bullwhip, and then he says cool things like, "Smoking kills, and so do I."
Barry: And a scar! But not from whipping. From making love on a cliff.
Matt: And a suede vest with lots of fringe.
Barry: And he smells like the woods.
Geoff: How do we film a smell?
Barry: We'll just cover you in pine cones and tree sap.
Quote from Pops
Geoff: So, tell me, how'd you do it? How did you win Mr. Ships Ahoy?
Pops: When it comes to wooing the ladies, some things never change.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] But actually, they do. A lot.
Pops: Wink at every dame in the room. When in doubt, goose the caboose. Tell them you've ridden in an airplane. Spoil them by buying them a nice pair of nylons.
Geoff: I think times and women's rights have changed a lot, and also, how do these ideas make me hotter?
Pops: It's not all about muscles. Anyone can lift a bag of nickels, but it takes a special kind of fella to cheer up a woman during wartime rationing.
Geoff: What do I do if there isn't a war going on?
Pops: Easy. What are you good at? I won my year with a dynamite banjo act.
Geoff: I'm okay at alto sax.
Pops: If that's the best you got, go with that.
Quote from Beverly
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Back in the '80s, the economy was booming, Americans were heading into the office. No one was more into working 9:00 to 5:00 than my mom.
[Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 plays over a montage of Beverly waking up, getting ready for work and commuting]
Beverly: [sings along] ♪ Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living ♪ Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving ♪ They just use your mind, and they never give you credit ♪ It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it ♪
Principal Ball: What do you think you're doing?
Beverly: Oh, I'm just exercising my right as an American to complain about the rat race, the grind, the old 9:00 to 5:00. But secret story... I love it.
Principal Ball: But we're a school. We start at 8:00.
Beverly: But the Dolly Parton song...
Principal Ball: Look, no one loves the Smoky Mountain Songbird more than I do, but that Backwoods Barbie has no bearing on our hours.
Beverly: My coworkers/best buds will share a chuckle about our overbearing boss. [they both laugh] You're a joke.
