Erica Quote #1512
Quote from Erica in The Better Annie
Adult Adam: [v.o.] So, my sister had a good voice. But so did Carmen. She could go toe-to-toe with Erica in anything. There was no way she couldn't do this.
Carmen: Okay. I can't do this. It's true, Erica. I did steal your part when we were kids.
Erica: I knew it! Vindicated!
Carmen: You were the better Annie.
Erica: Oh, damn right, son! That. Is. How. You. Do. It.
Carmen: Back then, we were poor and my voice was the only thing I owned.
Erica: Oh, no.
Carmen: And you had something that I could never buy. I mean, true talent. So I... I panicked, and I did the worst thing I've ever done, and I regret it every single day. And I'm so, so sorry.
Erica: Oof, you're making it real hard to dance in the end zone here.
Carmen: What's worse is I... I tried to cover it up and... lied to the guy I love, and I...
Erica: It is dawning on me now how weird it was for me to force another adult to compete for a child's part.
Adam: Who cares about your pointless break-through? Carmen just said she loves me.

Quote from Barry
Pop-Pop: What are you watching anyway that's so important?
Adam: Little House on the Prairie. It's just like the video game Oregon Trail, but with Michael Landon.
Barry: I would've dominated in olden times. I'd tame a buffalo and make fire from dirt.
Adam: Please, you'd be lucky if mountain fever took you. Most likely, you'd be kicked in the head by your own horse.
Barry: Nah. I'd befriend a coyote and ride it to the nearest gold mine.
Quote from Barry
Adult Adam: [v.o.] And thanks to my tutoring and her natural charm, I was hoping she'd be a hit. First up was Barry.
Carmen: [reads card] Um, I love how jacked and Chuck Norris-like your body is.
Barry: What a wonderful and accurate hello. Adam, don't let this one get away.
Quote from Barry
Geoff: Wasn't Erica amazing?
Barry: Totally, that's why we're here. To support her and for no other reason.
[Adam and Barry laugh as Erica walks out in her Daddy Warbucks costume, including a bald cap]
Erica: Geoff, I told you not to bring them here.
Adam: But your performance was so... hairless. [Barry chuckles]
Geoff: Fearless! He said fearless.
Barry: Yep, it was truly bald.
Geoff: Bold! He meant to say bold.
Barry: Like your silly head. [laughs]
Geoff: I really shouldn't have brought you here.
Barry: You blew it again, Geoff.
