Murray Quote #650

Quote from Murray in Fiddler

Adam: I'll audition to be in the chorus or something.
Murray: Absolutely not! In my house, it's Tevye or nothing.
Adam: I don't want to be the lead!
Murray: You're gonna be Tevye, damn it! Now put on my grandfather's old Russian coat and sing for me.
Adam: It's so heavy.
Murray: Like the weight of a man with too many daughters.
Adam: How do I already smell? How?
Murray: That's the smell of greatness. Now show me your shimmy.
Adam: I don't wanna shimmy.
Murray: Shimmy for your father, damn it. Like this. It's in our blood and our shoulders.
Adam: [sighs]
Murray: If that's how you shimmy, damn it, we got to go back to fundamentals. Come on, put your game face on. Do it!

Quote from Adam

Miss Cinoman: People, the moment has arrived. My dearest theater students and kids who do stage crew for some reason...
Dan: I work best in the shadows.
Miss Cinoman: No one cares, Dan. This year, William Penn Academy will be performing the most important musical of our time "Fiddler on the Roof"! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Dan: Oh! Oh! Oh!
Adam: Meh.
Jackie: "Meh"? Since when does Adam Goldberg "meh" a musical?
Adam: Fiddler's just so heavy and dreary and Russian. I'm more into the happy toe-tapping musicals, like "Music Man" or "Pippin" or not "Fiddler."
