Adam Quote #1383
Quote from Adam in You Only Die Once, or Twice, But Never Three Times
Adam: But I can give you a few tricks that I use to calm our combustible little buddy. [time lapse] We'll begin with the three P's. First up... praise.
Joanne: So I just say nice things to him? I do that already.
Adam: No. This is the kind of praise that isn't applicable to any human. If it doesn't feel like you're worshiping a living god, you're doing it wrong.
Joanne: Stroke the bear. [clicks tongue] Check.
Brea: There's gotta be so many better ways to say that.
Adam: Next up, power.
Joanne: Of course. I have it all, and he wants it.
Adam: Not at all. Power as in athletic prowess on the sports field.
Joanne: So just let him win at sports? Well, it goes against my dominant nature, but okay.
Adam: For the third and final "P"...
Joanne: Pan-fried trout? No, it's pan-fried chicken. Oh, wait, is the "P" silent? Is it Pterodactyl?
Adam: You don't have to guess. You just have to publicly humiliate yourself. You lower yourself to make him feel higher.
Brea: For the record, I don't think any woman should ever debase herself to make a man feel better.
Joanne: Well, that's why you don't have a boyfriend. [chuckles] Thanks. [Joanne takes the chalkboard]
Adam: She took the chalkboard.

Quote from Barry
Adult Adam: [v.o.] And when that didn't work, Joanne had to resort to the final "P"... public humiliation.
Joanne: Whoa! [laughter] Well, this is embarrassing. But also hilarious. Now you can laugh at me and recognize that sometimes things in life are funny.
Barry: I don't see why it's funny to waste all that Hawaiian Punch. Island people worked hard to squeeze tropical sunshine into every drop.
Quote from Adam
Adam: You guys said you'd eat some popcorn if I got the big tub. And now my delicate tummy is upset with all of you.
Brea: We told you not to get it.
Adam: It's only 50 cents more for the rodeo barrel.
Barry: Wait. Adam hasn't praised the movie yet. Why aren't you still clapping and/or demanding to see it again?
Adam: Yeah, it was neat.
Barry: "Neat" is something you say after uncomfortably watching your little brother's performance in The King and I.
Adam: How dare you? One critic said my performance was so inappropriate he couldn't look away.
