Quote from Murray
Adam: Do you even hear yourself? You're just as bad as Pop-Pop. He crushed all your dreams, and now you're crushing mine.
Murray: I am nothing like him. Have I ever left you hungry? Did you ever have to walk home 5 miles in the rain from school? Have you ever cried yourself to sleep because you didn't know if I was coming home or not?
Adam: Dad, I didn't know that.
Murray: Well, there's a lot you don't know.
Quote from Murray
Adam: I know you're a busy man, so I took the liberty of filling out the check.
Murray: Wow. Of all the moron things my moron kids have ever asked for, this takes the cake.
Adam: Dad, this is my dream.
Murray: You're literally asking me for a spaceship.
Adam: Don't twist my words. I just want access to one.
Murray: The answer is "No". I'm not sending you to space. And you! Stop encouraging him!
Pops: I have to be honest I don't know what any of this is. I just like spending time with the boy.
Quote from Erica
Erica: Something's wrong. I don't smell breakfast.
Beverly: Except her children forgot. It's me your mother. Ready to enjoy all the things that mothers get. You know.
Barry: Enough with the small talk. We need breakfast foods. I'm a growing boy.
Erica: I would love a nice fruit plate, but with no honeydew filler. And don't let the pineapple touch the kiwi. You should really be writing this down.
Quote from Barry
Erica: There she is, doing the hardest job in the world. Bet you thought we forgot about your special day, but we were just messing with you.
Barry: Gotcha, you clueless piece of crap! Happy Mother's Day!
Quote from Beverly
Erica: You kept all those?
Beverly: Oh, yes. Through the years, you've given me many coupons, and I've been saving them all for a rainy day. Guess what. Storm's a-comin'.
Quote from Murray
Murray: I told you No Outer Space Camp.
Adam: It's just "Space Camp"!
Quote from Adam
Adam: Aaaah! Ohhhhh! Oh, this isn't right! We shouldn't be playing God! That looks joyful. My system! My delicate system! My delicate system!!
Quote from Pops
Pops: Look, don't be so hard on your dad. It's how he was raised. Pop-Pop convinced him that dreams were stupid.
Adam: That's it. I'll go ask Pop-Pop. He'll know if Dad had any hopes and dreams.
Pops: Wait. You actually want to go talk to that bitter old bastard? You're a braver man than I am.
Quote from Murray
Adam: Hey, Dad. I have an amazing-
Murray: Uhp, uhp! I'm watching the channel guide to see what's on at 8:00. I already missed it once, and it's about to come 'round again.
Adam: This can't wait! It's that important!
Murray: Oh, damn it! I missed it again! This is the worst day of my life!
Quote from Barry
Barry: It's Gyro time. Ohhh! Whoa! Stop it! Something's happening to my body! I should not have had that milkshake!
Erica: Here's 10 bucks to keep it going until he passes out.
Barry: I'm unconscious! I'm completely unconscious! Aaaaaaaah!
