Beverly Quote #1454
Quote from Beverly in The Rose-Kissy Thing
Beverly: Earl, are you aware that the athletes in this school get treated better than all the other kids?
Principal Ball: I can explain that. They are better.
Beverly: Because they're all strong and coordinated?
Principal Ball: Not just that. There's also a swagger.
Beverly: Well, this changes now. I demand that all the kids who are not as gifted athletically be treated the same as the jocks.
Principal Ball: But then how will they learn that they're not as good?
Beverly: They are as good, Earl. And they deserve the rose-kissy thing, too.
Principal Ball: The what-zit now?
Beverly: When all the athletes fawn all over their mothers in front of the whole school? I want that for me. I mean, you know, for all the other kids.
Principal Ball: But no one cares about their ho-hum achievements.
Beverly: Then I'm just gonna have to invoke Title Nine.
Principal Ball: What, the law that prevents sex discrimination in schools?
Beverly: Then Title Eight. Or Ten.
Principal Ball: Darn my weakness for vague threats.

Quote from Barry
Beverly: Do you realize how much better athletes are treated at what we were promised was an exclusive, elitist private school?
Barry: We did have it pretty good.
Murray: What are you talking about? You're not an athlete, unless they turned being a moron into a sport.
Barry: How dare you? I'm an Olympic-caliber sportsman who never got a chance to prove it 'cause coaches, teammates, umpires, and equipment managers were too intimidated by my dominance.
Murray: We can stop talking now.
Quote from Barry
Adam: I need you to turn me into an athlete.
Barry: Are you talking to me or God? 'Cause that's a tall order for either of us.
Adam: If I make it onto a sports team, I won't have to participate in Non-Athlete Senior Night.
Barry: Fine! Tell me the sport, I'll make you a legend.
Adam: Doesn't matter. You pick.
Barry: Well, I'd rule out anything that requires a bat, ball, mitt, racket, stick, club, coordination, endurance, desire, grit, strategy, physical contact, or a commanding voice for calling signals.
Adam: What's left?
Barry: Spring track.
Adam: In! What's the minimum I have to do to make the team?
Barry: I only know the maximum.
Adam: I don't need the maximum.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: Well, let's get it over with. I've got a 12-cheese calzone in the oven.
Vicki Bee: That seems like too many cheeses.
Beverly: You'd think, but somehow, more becomes indecipherably less. Hey, Brea's mom, if I give you my keys, will you run home and take it out for me?
Vicki Bee: Yeah, I'm not gonna miss my daughter's big moment.
Beverly: Big moment? She taps a balloon across a net. Oh, also congratulations, Brea.
Brea: Thanks. [chuckles] Sort of.
