Erica Quote #1503
Erica: Where have you been, young lady?
Beverly: Oh, Erica. [chuckles] Did you wait up for me?
Erica: How was I supposed to sleep, knowing that you were out running around in the streets with God knows who, doing God knows what?
Beverly: I just went out with Joe to get ice cream after the dance. No biggie.
Erica: Oh, "no biggie"? It's a very big biggie! Do they not have phones at this ice cream establishment?
Beverly: Okay, I didn't think...
Erica: That's right, you didn't think. Now go to your room while my brothers and I decide what to do with you.
Beverly: Sorry. I'll do better next time.
Erica: Yes, you will, or there won't be a next time.
Beverly: Is that it?
Erica: Well, you're lucky that it is. Now, tell me everything about Joe.

‘The Crush’ Quotes
Quote from Geoff
Geoff: There is a way, you know.
Erica: What are you talking about?
Geoff: You think you're the only one who knows how to play the game of flirtation and romance?
Beverly: I'm listening. Tell me how to beat the system, wise Geoff.
Erica: No, no, no. Don't fill her head with sunshine. Now put the baby down.
Geoff: No.
Erica: "No"? What is this "No"? I'm not familiar with it.
Geoff: You complimented my thighs, and you didn't even mean it. My thighs are amazing. They taper and bulge in all the right places.
Quote from Geoff
Erica: You know about my flirtation game?
Geoff: Oh, I know all your moves. But you don't know mine. There's only one thing that gets someone's attention. Jealousy.
Erica: [scoffs] When has that ever worked for you?
Geoff: Oh, sweet, foolish, naive Erica. You didn't pay me the time of day until you saw a little candy on my arm.
Erica: Wait, Evy Silver?
Geoff: I used Silver to get the gold. Goldberg, that is.
Erica: You... played me? Mom, this can't be who you listen to.
Beverly: You know, making him jealous instead of doing nothing seems to be the better choice.
Geoff: Yes! Now watch my sweet thighs disappear as I walk away in victory. [walks off]
Erica: His thighs are pretty amazing.
Quote from Beverly
Adult Adam: [v.o.] It was March 1st, 1980-something, and my mom was returning from another fulfilling day as the Quaker Warden at William Penn Academy.
Beverly: Home from school. We have any Capri Sun?
Erica: You know where it is. Now, tell me all the news of the outside world, 'cause I've been cooped up in here with the little one.
Beverly: Erica, Joe said the funniest thing today. [chuckles]
Erica: Joe... as in Mr. Perott, the school's guidance counselor?
Beverly: Joe is so funny. Now, you wouldn't know this just by looking at Joe, but... [chuckling] Today, in the teachers' lounge... [laughs] I dropped my Del Monte yogurt on the floor. And then Joe comes by and says, "Finally, some culture in this place." Get it? [chuckles] 'Cause yogurt has cultures of bacteria. Oh, he's so funny, that Joe!
Erica: You seem to be saying "Joe" a lot.
Beverly: We're colleagues. I say people's names. Stop being weird.
Erica: It's fine. Let me make you a snacky, and you can tell me all about your little crush.
Beverly: Ew, um... [scoffs] The only crush I have is on my children. Joe and I are just friends.
