Quote from Adam in Parents Just Don't Understand

Barry: Gah! I'm super fired up and angry, 'cause they refuse to understand.
Adam: Which means all we got to do is write a song that speaks to every kid our age, too.
Barry: Easy. Let's do a song called "Grown Ups Just Don't Get It."
Adam: That's kind of just another way of saying "Parents Just Don't Understand."
Geoff: Okay, what about "Parents Just Do Understand"?
Barry: Yeah, but we flip it so it's "Parents Don't Understand."
Adam: Oh, my God. That's just the same song as theirs.
Barry: Fine! Then double flip it "Children Just Do Understand"!
Adam: And what do we understand?
Barry: That all parents don't understand. We did it!
Adam: No! We just keep circling back to the same thing.
