‘The Circle of Driving Again’
Season 5, Episode 8 - Aired November 29, 2017
As Murray tries to teach Adam how to drive on his sixteenth birthday, his head is filled with Beverly's scary stories about driving. Meanwhile, when Barry visits Erica at college, his popularity makes her question why she hasn't made any friends.
Quote from Erica
Erica: Okay, what is happening? Why are you engaging with this idiot?
Barry: Ignore her. She's not a dog person.
Girl: Clearly.
Erica: [scoffs] Oh, yeah, I'm the crazy one. There is no dog.
Quote from Murray
Pops: Good for you, kiddo!
Murray: No, no. It was not so good. As a matter of fact, it was worse than any of us could have imagined.
Adam: I ruined the car!
Pops: He ruined the car?
Murray: Not great.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: The good news is, I've officially decided I'm not ready to drive this year. Adam, you are my little cookie. My scrumptious oatmeal-nibble man. If you're not ready for the next three decades, so be it.
Adam: [muffled] Your little cookie thanks you, Mama. Here's a little crumb. Mwah.
Beverly: Oh, I could just eat you up.
Adam: It's easy, 'cause I'm a soft-baked cookie.
Beverly: Oh, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!
Adam: Nom, nom, nom, nom!
Beverly: Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom! Oh
Murray: Just go!
Beverly: [laughs] Nom, nom!
Quote from Pops
Beverly: Did you know about this?
Adam: Of course. We have crazy adventures every week. How do you think we get there?
Beverly: Oh, my God, Dad! It's not safe for you behind the wheel. You crashed into a drive-through.
Pops: What crash? It was a nudge.
Murray: We both know it wasn't a nudge.
Pops: I nudged it. In fact, I don't even think I touched it.
Quote from Beverly
Pops: You're doing great, kiddo. Just keep going on Rydal Road.
Beverly: No, Dad. Rydal Road intersects the train tracks.
Adam: Wait, a train's coming?!
Pops: No!
Beverly: Maybe. Maybe. Look for the flashing red lights and the up-and-down-gate thingy.
Quote from Barry
Erica: What am I supposed to do, use your stupid bag of college? This is nuts. Hey, mon, I'm Barry Goldberg. I have a see-through dog, and I ride a unicycle with a stick. Or how about a Snoopy snow cone while I strap on breakdancing pants and wear this captain's hat for some reason?
Barry: Okay, when you use them all at once, you just look silly.
Quote from Beverly
Beverly: Listen, Cookie Bite. I know you're scared to drive. But you shouldn't be. Truth is, I might've slightly exaggerated the safety of the highways and byways, just to make sure you were safe.
Adam: So I won't stall out on train tracks and end up cleaning pools with my face?
Beverly: Not if you get regular oil changes and fill up your car.
Pops: Beverly.
Beverly: Sorry. Train tracks are fine.
Quote from Murray
Pops: Murray? What about you?
Murray: What about me?
Pops: Well, maybe you apologize for always calling the kid a moron.
Murray: [grumbles indistinctly]
Adam: Aww. That's the nicest sound you ever made at me.
Murray: Even morons can drive. Especially you.
