Adam: No, but I do have this. That's Baby Ruth picketing Sloth from The Goonies.
Barry: This is the one! You for sure show this to Jackie's parents.
Geoff: Please don't.
Barry: Kudos.
Geoff: No, my point is, you got to watch the news, read the paper, be able to discuss things that aren't The Goonies.

Other Erica: Um, why is all our stuff back here?
Beverly: Erica's father's been activated, sweetie.
Erica: This is crazy. Dad's been gone for 45 minutes. How on Earth can one person do so much so fast?
Beverly: That's what happens when a father gets activated. Stop saying "activated" like it's a thing.
Other Erica: Clearly, it is. All our stuff's back here.

Beverly: Murray sweet-talked the head of the housing office, then got a bunch of hacky-sacking kids to bring everything back for a plate of nachos.
Lainey: But Erica dropped all her classes.
Beverly: Then he went to the registrar, lobbed a few threats, greased a few palms, and boom! Your class schedule for the next year.
Erica: But I failed out. The dean literally asked me to leave.
Beverly: Then he saw the dean and begged and pleaded and even shed a few tears.
Erica: You cried?
Murray: I did what I had to do.

Mr. Geary: Tell her, Adam. Tell her what happens when a bill just languishes.
Adam: Uh, yes, what does happen next? Uh... [singing softly] I'm just a bill Yes, I'm only a bill-
Jackie: Adam?
Mr. Geary: Is that Schoolhouse Rock?
Adam: No.
Mr. Geary: 'Cause it sounds like Schoolhouse Rock.
Adam: Does it?
Mr. Geary: Yes, it sounds like you don't know about basic government, so you're singing Schoolhouse Rock to remind yourself.
Adam: No. It's, uh... no.

Jackie: Hey, you know what would be fun? Adam, why don't you show us some new cartoons that you made for the paper?
Adam: Maybe after dinner?
Mr. Geary: Listen, you wanna stir things up with your drawing? You should hit Star Wars.
Mrs. Geary: Vinny, stop. Last thing Adam needs is to hear you rant about Star Wars and overblown budgets.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] By pure fate, the conversation suddenly pivoted to the one topic that I could debate like a pro.
Adam: No, no, no. I promise you I can convince anyone to love Star Wars.
Mr. Geary: All right, I can see you're a man of passion, like myself. Convince me.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Unfortunately, Jackie's parents were arguing about this defense system from the '80s nicknamed Star Wars. I only knew about the other one.

Adam: [imitates laser fire] Look, it's Han and Chewie. [imitates laser fire] They came back to help the rebels. 'Cause what's more important than space money? Friendship. [as Yoda] Do or do not. There is no try.
[normal voice] Never underestimate tiny bears. Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors! [imitates blaster firing] While IG-88 didn't play a huge role in the movie, he did get his own action figure. See? It shows that everyone in the galaxy is important. [as C-3PO] Oh, no. They're dying, R2. [imitates ship flying by; normal voice:] And Luke's all, "Aah!" And then Vader chucks the Emperor down the reactor chute, and we realize there's still good in us. And that, my friends, is why Star Wars is the best.
Jackie: They're talking about a missile-defense system.
Mr. Geary: Good stuff.

Adam: This is crazy. Every week, I come in here trying to get a new club going, and you always shut me down. How can you say no to a school-sponsored Mel Brooks Appreciation Club?
Mr. Glascott: Let's just add it to the list. The Ed Grimley Club, the Q-Bert Club, the Garbage Pail Kids Kids, The Highlander Society. But guess what, no one joined those clubs except for you.
Adam: To be fair, there can be only one. See what I did there?
Mr. Glascott: No. No one knows what you're talking about.

Barry: I'll join your Spacenuts Club, but only if I can be treasurer and hold all the money, which will go missing, along with that big-ass comb.
Adam: Just take the comb.
Barry: Yes. I'm gonna do so many things.

Lainey: Honestly, it was like a weight was lifted after I told my dad I left fashion school.
Erica: So it went well?
Lainey: No, he cried. Like an ugly cry, where you gulp for air.

Other Erica: Well, my dad said I'm cut off and can't ever move back. Which reminds me, I'm homeless and scared.
Erica: Don't worry. We'll get a place in Philly and live together so we can practice and get in nasty fights that'll fuel our songwriting.
Other Erica: So, your parents are actually on board with this?
Erica: My parents get it. [chuckles] They will... when I tell them.
