Murray Quote #839
Quote from Murray in Island Time
Adult Adam: [v.o.] So, easily stepping into the shoes of bad cop, my dad went to school and laid down the law. That day, my father explained all the reasons why college was the only thing that mattered to him in life.
Murray: And in conclusion... moron!
Mr. Perott: Okay, I get it. You're angry.
Murray: I didn't work my whole life so my son wouldn't go to college.
Mr. Perott: Mr. Goldberg, what did you work your whole life for, huh? When was the last time you saw a sunset or drank fresh rainwater from the sky, or went to Portugal, huh?
Murray: Portugal? Who the hell's got time for Portugal?
Mr. Perott: Look, Mr. Goldberg, I did not tell your son not to go to college. I just told him he had options, and maybe it would do him good to see the world.
Murray: He can do that later.
Mr. Perott: When? Have you done that? Or have you been, uh, as you put it, "Working your whole life"?

Quote from 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?
Quote from Murray
Beverly: So?
Murray: Why have we never been to Portugal?
Beverly: Who gives a crap about Portugal? How'd it go with Adam's guidance counselor?
Murray: I think Adam's gonna spend about a year figuring it out.
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.
