Season 2, Episode 9 - Aired December 10, 2014
When Barry is approached by a modeling representative in the mall, Barry is convinced he’ll be famous but Erica believes it’s a scam so Beverly threatens the modeling rep to give him a gig or else. Later, Adam runs into his Pop Pop, Murray’s grumpy dad, and thinks he can help mend the fences between estranged father and son.
Quote from Pops
Pops: That is not a nice man. Watch this. Long time no see, Ben. Looking good.
Pop Pop: So you think you're better than me, huh?
Quote from Barry
Barry: Now, if you excuse me, I need to get some beauty rest. Wake me in 14 hours.
Beverly: Wait. Why don't you put some cucumbers on your eyes like the models do?
Barry: Ahh, oh, yeah. I feel it burning already.
Beverly: Burning?
Barry: Aargh, it burns so much!
Beverly: Oh, no. I already dressed the salad. It's lemon pepper vinaigrette.
Barry: Argh, argh. My eyes, my beautiful deep brown eyes!
Quote from Adam
Erica: No way. That's impossible. Dad doesn't cry, ever.
Adam: I know what I saw. Human tears coming out of his face.
Quote from Adam
Adam: You cried! When E.T. phoned home, he left, and you cried, and I saw it.
Quote from Adam
Adam: What's your favorite thing in life?
Pops: One word family.
Pop Pop: When I was 6 years old, I worked in a button factory. There was a terrible fire, but I got two days off. Two glorious days!
Quote from Adam
Adam: What's your best memory with your kids?
Pops: The day Bev was born.
Adam: Pop Pop?
Pop Pop: I got hit by a car when I was 29. It was a terrible accident. But I got some money in the settlement, and decided to invest it in a new company called 7-UP. Well, until my genius son talked me out of it. He hated clear soda. And I missed out on the biggest opportunity of my life!
Adam: That's your best memory?
Pop Pop: I thought you said worst.
Quote from Beverly
Barry: I was approached by a modeling scout in the mall. He had a brochure and an official business card.
Beverly: "John Calabasas, professional model finder." Good, he's legit.
Quote from Murray
Adult Adam: [v.o.] That night, we had something even more rare than an alien sighting My dad's dad, pop-pop. He was a man of few words.
Murray: So, uh, how's things and whatever you're doing?
Pop Pop: Eh.
Adult Adam: [v.o.] Yep, my dad got it from somewhere.
Pop Pop: You?
Murray: Eh.
Quote from Murray
Murray: Fine! You don't want to say you're sorry. I will. I'm sorry you worked in a button factory. I'm sorry you didn't invest in 7-UP. And I'm sorry that mom left when we were young, leaving you stuck with two kids you didn't want! But you know what I'm most sorry about? I'm sorry that you're such a miserable man that you're gonna miss out on your grandkids' lives the same way you missed out on mine. Happy New Year, Dad.
Quote from Beverly
Photographer: Why don't you just beat it?
Beverly: Okay, I'll leave. But Barry had better get a gig. And if that doesn't happen, I'll call the better business bureau, the chamber of commerce, and the 6:00 news. I might even call your mother. How would you like that?
Photographer: Please do not call my mom. We have a very complicated relationship.
Beverly: Then you best get to work.
