Quote from Beverly

Beverly: Well, let me make it clear. Jane... I've been with your man!
Jane Bales: What is she saying?
Formica Mike: I honestly have no idea what she's talking about.
Beverly: Oh, I'll tell you. Every day and all night, we make sweet, sweet food together.
Vic: Did you just say "food"? What an awkward way to say you cook for the man.
Jane Bales: Mike, is this true?
Formica Mike: [laughing] No! Janey! Jane, no, I love everything that you make!
Beverly: Oh, then what's that marinara sauce on your collar? [Jane gasps]
Vic: Mm, yes, explain that.
Formica Mike: This is lipstick! I've been having several torrid affairs!
Jane Bales: Oh, my God! You have been eating her food.
Formica Mike: An occasional snack!
Beverly: Lunch, dinner, at my home, in the store, in the very car you drove here today!
Jane Bales: [gasps] I knew the DeVille smelled shrimpy!
Formica Mike: Fine! She's been feeding me! But it meant nothing!
Beverly: Or does it mean you couldn't satisfy him? [Jane Bales gasps] Well, I can. And I had him begging for seconds!

Quote from Beverly

Vic: Oh, my word! This is just like Dynasty, but with smaller hats.
Beverly: Maybe now you'll keep your hands off my store!
Jane Bales: What? Your store?! I don't want your hideous store.
Beverly: Well, then why were you trying to take it from me?
Jane Bales: I wasn't. I was just trying to be a part of Mike's life. You know, a real partner, like you are with Murray.
Beverly: What?
Jane Bales: Well, Mike only thinks of me one way... as an incredibly stunning, beautiful, and sexy woman.
Formica Mike: That's not far from the truth. I mean, look at her wet.
Jane Bales: [sighs] I want more. Okay? But... I guess that'll never happen.

Quote from Adam

Adult Adam: [v.o.] As Jane left my mom wallowing in the deep end, my friendship with my best bud had taken a dive.
Adam: Hey.
Barry: What's with the sad face? Dave Kim also cut you to your very core with sharp words that won't stop replaying in your head?
Adam: Nope. He just stopped being my best friend.
Erica: Oh, come on, it's Dave Kim. You'll figure it out.
Adam: Not this time.
Barry: Well, if there's one thing you're good at, it's winning back someone's heart with a grand gesture.
Adam: I'll just do the thing I always do that always works!
Barry: Always. Now go to him!

Quote from Beverly

Beverly: I'm sorry. Things got a little... w... way out of hand.
Jane Bales: Well, you didn't have to go and seduce my man with your delicious boiled meats.
Beverly: Boiled?
Jane Bales: I don't know food! When I was a child, all my mother ever made were gin and tonics and cold conversation. God, I love her.
Beverly: For me, I remember going into my father's store and watching him put out those paper cups.
Jane Bales: I didn't know that.
Beverly: It's kind of the only connection I have left.
Jane Bales: I'll leave the store alone.
Beverly: Thank you.
Jane Bales: And I know that Mike looks like a doughnut with a face, but... he's growing on me. I wanna keep him.
Beverly: Well, maybe I could help you with that.

Quote from Dave Kim

Dave Kim: Hey, Adam. Or should I say roommate?
Adam: Seriously?! You mean it?
Dave Kim: I do.
Adam: Thank you, Dave Kim. I can't imagine going to college without my best friend.
