Beverly Quote #1342
Quote from Beverly in Mr. Ships Ahoy
Beverly: I'm sorry. I couldn't help but overhear. Um, you don't have to defend me, Adam. Life is not like TV shows. Sometimes, coworkers just don't become friends.
Mr. Glascott: But sometimes, they do. Adam's right. We never gave you a shot.
Mr. Woodburn: And I hate to admit it, but your constant badgering over the years has made me a better teacher.
Andrea: And I'm new, so agreeing with everyone else seems like my only option.
Mr. Perott: So... fresh start?
Beverly: I'd like that. Beverly Goldberg, new Quaker Warden.
Mr. Glascott: John Glascott, guidance counselor.
Adam: This is nice.
Beverly: Yes, it is. Now get out of the lounge. It's for teachers only.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Changing the way people see us can be a full-time job. So is changing the way we see ourselves. But it isn't hard work for the people we love to see who we really are. At the end of the day, when we're comfortable just being ourselves, there's nothing sweeter.

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.
