Quote from Pops
Pops: Catchy stuff.
Beverly: I know. Doesn't mean I can let her throw her future away.
Pops: Unless this is her future.
Beverly: I just always wanted Erica to do what I never could and finish college. Dad, look at me. My kids are all grown up, and I'm searching for who I am. Last thing I want is for her to end up like me, you know?
Pops: But Erica's not searching. She's found what she wants.
Quote from Beverly
Erica: Mom, why are you back?
Beverly: I listened to your song, schmoo. And you were right. It's great. And you need to give this a shot.
Erica: But you said that finishing college is the only thing that matters.
Beverly: Well, this really isn't about me.
Erica: What about Dad? He's gonna flip.
Beverly: Mama will fix it. I hope.
Quote from Adam
Jackie: I figured I could use a little fun. That's why I'm with you, you know. Because you make me laugh. The world could use more people like you.
Adam: No, the world needs you. I mean, you inspired me so much. I actually learned how a law becomes a bill because of you.
Jackie: Bills become laws. We'll just listen to the song again.
Quote from Adam
Adam: What the- Dark Helmet?
Dark Helmet: Take my hand, Adam F. Goldberg. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.
Adam: Dude, you're not my dad.
Dark Helmet: Oh, yeah? Then explain this!
Adam: No! That's impossible! I will never join you!
Dark Helmet: Oh, I see your Schwartz has grown.
Adam: I'm in high school now.
Dark Helmet: Yeah, I was a late bloomer myself. Now die!
Adam: What's this?
Dark Helmet: Uh, nothing.
Adam: Spaceballs II.
Dark Helmet: Oh, it's just a little script I'm noodling with. It's stupid. Actually, I'm super proud of it. Read it if you want. I don't care. You know what? I'd love to act it out for you. And so Pizza the Hutt says, "Dark Helmet wins the intergalactic ski race!" And I'm like, "You know it." Then all my subjects cheer, and the princess is like, "Kiss me already." And I do. [smooches]
Adam: Awesome! I give you my word. I will get this made.
Dark Helmet: Oh, stop.
Adam: Take my hand, Dark Helmet. Join me, and together we can make this sequel.
[Adam bolts up in bed, where Beverly is lying next to him]
Beverly: Ohh, my little Schmoopie's having a bad dream.
Adam: No, this is my nightmare!
