Quote from Adam

Mr. Perott: Adam, these scores are not so hot. I thought nerds were good at math.

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.
