Adam Quote #907

Quote from Adam in Island Time

Adam: So, I've been thinking. After high school, I won't go straight to L.A., I'll bum around Europe a bit. You know, not all who wander are lost.
Beverly: I love everything about this new hobo plan for your future.
Adam: Well, I don't wanna be late for school. Although, who cares? I'm not trying to go to college, right? [laughs]
Beverly: You slay me, Schmoo. [laughs] Have a great day not trying. [Adam exits] Oh [bleep] everything!
Pops: So, what's new?
Beverly: What's new is that I need a real college counselor, one with balls.
Pops: Oh, y‐you mean someone who can put the fear of God into Adam?
Beverly: Better. Someone I can put the fear of God in to put the fear of God into Adam.

Mr. Perott: Adam, these scores are not so hot. I thought nerds were good at math.
Adam: I'm more of a geek. W‐ We're still social and physical klutzes with quirky personalities, but we have intense passions for fringe interests.
Mr. Perott: And what's a dweeb?
Adam: Look, it's a rich continuum of discomfort, but what should I do about my test scores?

Beverly: What?! No, you were supposed to be the bad cop!
Murray: You know, I've never been barefoot on anything but tile. Tile, Bevy! It's no way to live!

Quote from Beverly

Adam: Inside this envelope is my PSAT scores.
Beverly: The warm‐up test before the real test. Oh! The stakes have never been higher.
Pops: That sounds wrong, but sure.
Beverly: What's in this envelope could guarantee a full ride to an ivy or shame you into a state school, where your friends will be dentists, newspaper writers, and, God forbid, teachers.
