Adam Quote #824
Quote from Adam in Pickleball
Adam: Well, it's not like I need a stupid varsity letter to get into film school.
Principal Ball: Au contraire.
Adam: [gasps] Balls!
Principal Ball: And balls may be exactly what you need, Mr. Goldberg. You need to round out your personal journey with some athletic challenges.
Adam: But people who make movies don't care about sports.
Principal Ball: Not true. Alfred Hitchcock... Star tailback. Ron Howard... Decathlete. Ridley Scott... Hockey goon.
Adam: That all seems super wrong. But are you saying if I don't get a varsity letter, I won't get into film school?
Principal Ball: I'm not not saying that. Luckily, I'm heading up a revival of a storied William Penn athletic institution.

Quote from Coach Mellor
Barry: Enough talk about God's fickle nature. My pathetic-nerd brother needs someone to show him how to pickle.
Coach Mellor: It's true. I forgot how pathetic and nerdy he is.
Adam: I don't really think that's the main takeaway here.
Barry: Look at his spindly arms and toothpick legs.
Coach Mellor: His concave chest and that doughy neck.
Coach Nick: And his flat feet and sickly posture.
Barry: Spin around, Adam. Show us how sad the back of your body is.
Adam: Yeah, my instinct is to say no.
Coach Mellor: You know what? Seeing this tragic excuse for the human form in its full non-glory is just the kick in the two-button polyester shorts I needed. I'm back, baby!
Barry: Whoo!
Coach Nick: And someone else is back, too. Hello, old friend. [whistle blows] Follow me to greatness, boys.
Quote from Murray
Beverly: I'm sorry, Murray. You said you didn't want a party, and I didn't listen.
Murray: I- It wasn't that. It was perfect.
Beverly: You liked it?
Murray: Yeah, all those people, everything you did for me, I loved it.
Beverly: Then why are you in here?
Murray: [sighing] Oh, geez. Oh. My dad never cared about my birthday, so... I tried not to care. But tonight, I realized how much I missed.
Beverly: Oh, Murray.
Murray: Nah, it's a good thing. I may have not had a great dad or a great childhood, but I have a great wife and a great life now.
Beverly: Well, you know what the best part about this whole thing is?
Murray: I saw hoagies down there.
Beverly: You're a whole year younger than you thought you were.
Murray: And even better, I get an extra year with you.

Dave Kim: We earned these. I lettered in badminton.
Emmy: Dive team.
Dan: Bass fishing.
Adam: Wow. This school's athletic department has really grown in the last few years.
