Quote from Naked Rob

Barry: I'm talking about Ren and Lainey.
Andy: Big Tasty, we've been over this. Lainey went to LA to be a rock star.
Naked Rob: I heard she's in that Robert Palmer video where he apologizes to women for turning them on.

Quote from Andy

Barry: What do I do?
Andy: Maybe go talk to Erica. I mean, Lainey and Ren are both her close friends. Maybe she'd have a perspective on this that you don't.
Barry: Sometimes the tiniest men have the greatest ideas. Yes! I will ask my sister which lover I should take.
Andy: I'm not clinically tiny.

Quote from Adam

Adam: There's my Queen Bee.
Brea: Look. Your mom keeps bringing me loaves of banana bread. They are so heavy, they defy the laws of physics.
Adam: We have a theory. She uses a lot of bananas and some depleted uranium.

Quote from Barry

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Turns out friendship was all Lainey wanted, but that's not what it looked like.
Ren: Uh, sorry to interrupt, but... screw you, Barry.
Barry: Renjamin! It's not what you think!
Ren: You think Ren is short for Renjamin?
Barry: There's no way to know.
Ren: There is. I-I'm Lauren. But it turns out you don't know me... And I really don't know you.

Quote from Murray

Beverly: I don't understand. We were so good together.
Adam: Love is a battlefield.
Beverly: What did you do to drive our girl away?
Adam: Maybe I wasn't listening enough?
Beverly: Oh, nobody splits up because of that. Your father hasn't listened to me in 20 years. Right, Murray?
Murray: Yeah, uh, tater tots. Two bags.

Quote from Lainey

Erica: Los Angeles must be so amazing.
Lainey: It's all right. I did almost meet Burt Reynolds once. It turned out to be just a guy with a cowboy hat and a mustache, but still pretty cool.
Erica: Almost the Bandit. That's not nothing.
Lainey: Yeah, but it's tougher than I thought.
Erica: Come on. You're the most famous commercial fruit actor I know.
Lainey: But I only made $875 last year.
Erica: You are in some trouble, lady.
Lainey: But I'm not giving up. I mean, what else would I even do? Come back to Jenkintown? [both laugh] Can you imagine me stuck in this town as an adult, doing a job?

Quote from Pops

Beverly: [to Adam] I'm not going anywhere!
Pops: That's good, because someone brought over a rice pudding with raisins.
Beverly: Not a good time, Dad. I just caught Adam and his little friend here couch-kissing.
Pops: Pudding?
Brea: No, thank you.

Quote from Murray

Murray: Bevy, where do you keep the bagel chips? There's a dip I want to explore.
Beverly: Forget your dip. Your baby boy was down here swapping spit with this one.
Brea: Hi, Mr. Goldberg. I'm Adam's girlfriend, Brea.
Murray: Nobody's named Brea.
Adam: She is! And you should be wearing pants.
Murray: I was earlier.

Quote from Barry

Erica: Is this the laundry line? Got a load of socks and... What is that hanging in the air?
Beverly: The loss of innocence.
Erica: That happened sooner than I thought.
Brea: God, is your whole neighborhood in here?
Barry: I hope so, 'cause I've got an emergency! I lost three pieces of a puzzle down here. One is an edge, one has some blue in it, and the last one has half a dog's nose or foot. [sniffs] What am I tasting?
Pops: Rice pudding?
Barry: I don't think so, but thank you.

Quote from Barry

Adult Adam: [v.o.] It was May 6th, 1980-something, and Barry was in for an unexpected surprise.
Ren: Guess who?
Barry: Gene Hackman!
Ren: What? No. It's Ren. Now I feel like I need to moisturize more.
Barry: Oh. I wasn't going by touch.
