Erica Quote #1514
Quote from Erica in A Flyer's Path to Victory
Erica: A day with your parents isn't exactly baby Mardi Gras. They just plop her down in front of a boring documentary or have her watch your dad as he counts out his afternoon prunes.
Geoff: Six prunes. It's only a small part of the day. And they have some fun toys over there.
Erica: You mean like that one wooden spoon and Lou's car keys?
Geoff: Car keys to you, but with a baby's imagination, they open the door to wonder. And that strange cedar box in his closet. What's in there, Papa?
Erica: When my mom has the baby, they go to the park, the museum, the petting zoo. And then she puts together a photo album of the whole thing.
Geoff: Sure, they're clearly treasured keepsakes, but your mom also gets way more time with the baby. Like every day.
Erica: Unlike your parents, my mom plans active, fun things to do. It's cool. It's important for Muriel to learn that some days are total snooze-fests.
Geoff: I can assure you that today, our daughter will be living it up in the streets with the people.
Erica: I don't think I've ever seen your dad in sunlight, but I definitely believe your hollow words, sweetie.

Quote from Barry
Barry: Now, we come to Adam. Sweet, precious Adam. No water! [cup clatters]
Adam: That was your water.
Barry: It was for dramatic effect. You will not allow nature's tears to touch your lips for the entirety of the Flyers playoff run.
Adam: And why, exactly?
Barry: Last Tuesday, you took a sip and Rick Tocchet got a two-minute penalty for slashing. You were also breathing, but I'm not unreasonable.
Adam: I'm definitely gonna drink water.
Barry: Thought you might say that. [hands Adam a Polaroid]
Adam: Is this you holding up a knife to Optimus Prime?
Barry: And you'll never see him again unless you do what I say.
Adam: It's like five bucks. I'll get a new one.
Barry: Well, can you replace all your Transformers? [holds up multiple Polaroids]
Adam: My babies! Fine! I'll drink soda all day, every day! Ya happy?!
Quote from Barry
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Back in the '80s, nothing was more important to my brother than Flyers hockey. When they made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, he knew exactly who to thank... himself.
Barry: Because of my hard work and unwavering dedication to the Flyers, they are now on the precipice of becoming world champions.
Pop-Pop: Your hard work?
Barry: Who else has suited up for every game in their quasi-officially sanctioned T-shirt, stretched, ready to go, with two orange popsicles in a bowl, always to the side?
Adam: I've seen this in sports films. Superstitious nutballs think they somehow control the outcome of the game, so they repeat the behavior in hopes of another win.
Barry: Well, in my very special case, it works.
Adam: No one believes that.
Beverly: Yes, my baby helped the Flyers win. I'm as proud as the mothers of the players I will be sitting with during the victory parade.
Quote from Beverly
Barry: In addition to all I will do to help the Flyers win, here's what you will do. Since the beginning of the season, I've been tracking all your behaviors during games to see if they help or hurt the Flyers.
Adam: You've been watching us?
Beverly: I watch you all, too. It's not weird. Go on, Barry.
Barry: Mom, let's start with you.
Beverly: Ah, I'm number one on your list and in your heart.
Barry: For the last seven victories, you served us food that was black and/or orange.
Beverly: The colors of your team.
Adam: And construction signs and monarch butterflies and Garfield. It's all random nonsense.
Barry: Thus, everything we consume from here-to-forth must be black or orange.
Beverly: For my superstitious Schmoo, I'll make it happen. Oh! I'm part of his life. Ha!
