Murray Quote #1012
Quote from Murray in A Light Thanksgiving Nosh
Adult Adam: [v.o.] While my mom may have seriously injured Linda, Pop-Pop was trying to heal some old wounds.
Murray: There he is, Father of the Year.
Pop-Pop: Just listen for a second, clever guy. I shouldn't have lied. And yes, I wasn't the best dad.
Murray: Best? You're in the bottom three.
Pop-Pop: All right, get your licks in. I know I was a miserable schmuck, and that's why I thought I'd never have a lady in my life again. All right, I was lonely, okay?
Murray: I didn't know that. You could have told me.
Pop-Pop: How?
Murray: With words.
Pop-Pop: That's not my thing! Look, the point is, I would have done anything to keep her around.
Murray: Then why'd you drag her over here? You... You should have known we'd ruin your lies.
Pop-Pop: I don't know. Maybe I wanted to show you all off or something.
Murray: You want to watch the game?
Pop-Pop: Uh, together?
Murray: Yeah.
Pop-Pop: Oh, yeah.

Quote from Beverly
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Back in the '80s, my mom was famous for always getting her way. She bulldozed everyone, teachers, store employees, even her own friends. But my mom's arm-twisting was about to get tested when those friends became family.
Linda Schwartz: Erica! I need to get a head count for Thanksgiving dinner. Is your mother around?
Beverly: [grunts] 26 1/2 pounds is a lot heavier than you think. Oof.
Geoff: Where do you buy a bird that big?
Beverly: Oh, I've had this gobbler since he was a chick. I'd hand-feed him peanut butter, corn, and pasta carbonara every day until my relentless forced-gorging did what it do. [chuckles] [squawks] "My name was Popcorn."
Erica: That's so dark.
Beverly: The dark meat is the juiciest.
Quote from Geoff
Geoff: What's up, Mom?
Beverly: Ooh, yeah, that still doesn't feel right.
Mr. Glascott: It's wildly uncomfortable for everyone involved.
Geoff: There's got to be something that speaks to our closeness. [montage] Mee-maw? Mamacita? Mommers? Mommaroony? Mumsy? Mama-lou? Queen Mother? Mamasaurus Rex? Mother Superior? Bahama Mama? The Bev Train? Choo-choo. Big Mama? She's a fine Mama-Jama? Ooh, how about just "Beverly"?
Beverly: Sorry. None of these are working.
Geoff: But, Mrs. Goldberg...
Beverly: Bup-bup! That's the one.
Quote from Beverly
Linda Schwartz: Sorry to interrupt your pet's murder, but I thought I was hosting Thanksgiving this year.
Beverly: Well, that doesn't sound right, so it isn't. And I'm already three hours into a 15-hour seasoning process.
Linda Schwartz: So? I made little menus with a calligraphy pen.
Geoff: She calls yams "yums." That was actually my contribution.
Erica: That's not the brag you think it is. And, Mom, Linda clearly thought she was doing Thanksgiving this year.
Beverly: She can still be a part of the festivities. I need help with the bird. You will be scooping out Popcorn's giblets.
Geoff: Giblets are not as cute as the name implies.
Erica: Just a butt full of guts.
Beverly: I suggest putting down a beach towel, 'cause this juicy Johnny's gonna leak something fierce.
