‘Rush’

Season 3, Episode 21 -  Aired April 13, 2016

When Beverly gives Adam a “best son” trophy, Barry brings to her attention that she always favors Adam.  Appalled, Beverly decides to ignore Adam (much to his delight) and smother Barry (much to his dislike), but it backfires. Meanwhile, Erica starts dating a boy who gets her to love the band Rush as much as he does and whom Murray doesn’t approve of.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: You really miss your mama?
Adam: Okay, fine. I do. I miss you getting me everything I ever wanted through fear, intimidation, and remorseless perseverance.
Beverly: That is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. Come to Mama.

Quote from Erica

Johnny Atkins: They're not the canned garbage that you listen to. They're real. They're from Canada. It's super-cold, so they have to rock super-hard to stay warm.
Erica: I'll take your word for it.
Johnny Atkins: Why take my word for it when you can come to my Corolla and find out for yourself? Unless you're afraid.
Erica: Of being alone with you in your rusted-out piece of crap? For sure.
Johnny Atkins: Hey. Johnny Atkins respects women. He has bad hair days, too. Not many, though.

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: There's my little birthday Schmoops!
Adam: All I want for my birthday is for you to not call me Schmoops.
Beverly: Aww, you're cute. So, look, I know how much you like big Hollywood directors, like Steven Lucas and George Spielberger, so I special-ordered you this. Don't hurt your little arms. It's heavy.
Adam: My own Oscar?
Beverly: [Laughs] Read it! "Best Son". Yes, you are! And that is gonna go great with the big Hollywood-themed birthday party I'm throwing you. [laughs] Speech!

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: Barry thinks I got a bigger photo of Adam 'cause he's my favorite.
Murray: Every parent has a secret favorite. Mine's Erica.
Beverly: You can't say that. I don't have a favorite.
Murray: Beverly. Come on. Come on.
Beverly: It's Adam, damn it. He's my cute little munchkin who sweats when he sleeps and then I flip the pillow over to the cool side and [Giggles] And then he whispers, "Love you, Mama," and then I just want to gobble his delicious face!

Quote from Adam

Barry: Get back here! You will pay for what your picture did!
Adam: I was just reading a book. This makes no sense!

Quote from Erica

Lainey: You don't actually like him, do you?
Erica: I don't know. He's like a cocky band nerd, but he's also honest and deep, but he also has a ponytail. It's so confusing.

Quote from Murray

Johnny Atkins: Yo. It's Johnny Atkins.
Murray: Yo. So?
Johnny Atkins: So, Erica's expecting me. Mind if I just pop upstairs, chill for a few?
Murray: Yes, very much.
Johnny Atkins: All right. Then give her this flier. Battle of the Bands this weekend. Speed Up's gonna win top prize.
Murray: Speed Up?
Johnny Atkins: My Rush cover band. Thinking Erica could join us 'cause our guitarist got arrested for selling... fudge.
Murray: Fudge.
Johnny Atkins: So good, it's illegal.
Murray: Okay. [closing the door]

Quote from Adam

Barry: Sorry, sucka! Barry's number one. The trophy's mine forever.
Adam: Cool.
Barry: Hope you enjoyed your day as "Best Son" 'cause now Mom's only gonna focus on me. Ha!
Adam: Wait. Did she really say that?
Barry: Absolutely.
Adam: Oh, my God. You literally are the best brother ever.
Barry: And the best son.
Adam: My mother's rejection of me is the most wonderful birthday gift I could ever get.
Barry: It's your birthday?
Adam: From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Barry Norman Goldberg.

Quote from Murray

Erica: I saw Johnny Atkins at school today. He told me you slammed the door in his face.
Murray: Oh, that. Yeah, I only did that because he's a piece of [bleep]. You get it.
Pops: [singsong] Gonna backfire.

Quote from Pops

Pops: It's happening.
Murray: Will you stop singing ominous warnings? It's done.
Pops: [Hums]
