Adam: I'm proud of who I am. I may be afraid of beetles and love Beetlejuice, but I'm not ashamed of either.
Carmen: You shouldn't be.
Adam: And I don't care if the world knows I'm scared of dentists.
Carmen: That one I get, actually.
Adam: And you know what? I sit the way I sit, and I'm not changing it for anybody!
Carmen: Now you're losing me.

Beverly: I know our baby food business went bust, but I have been thinking of other ideas for businesses.
Geoff: We're actually watching Hart to... [Beverly turns the TV off] Hart.
Beverly: "Bubbe Bevy's Baby Booties."
Erica: Pass.
Beverly: "Bubbe Bevy's Baby Bottles."
Erica: I don't want to have this conversation right now, but if you're gonna start a business, it doesn't have to be baby related.
Beverly: "Bubbe Bevy's Bath Bombs."
Geoff: How many pages are in that pad?
Beverly: "Bubbe Bevy's Beer Cozies." "Bubbe Bevy's Boudoir Photos."
Erica: Yes!
Beverly: You love it?
Erica: Not at all... I just realized there's a TV in the other room.

Adult Adam: [v.o.] Back in the '80s, my sister was a new mom, and she was loving it, which meant she had to put her dream of law school on hold... until now.
Geoff: There are my two loves. One innocent and pure, the other terrifying and hot.
Erica: You know, you can also just walk in and say "hi."

Geoff: So, how's the law school application coming?
Erica: What's another word for perfect? Because it's the opposite of that.
Geoff: Oh, I'm sure my legal eagle is just being modest. "Do you have any unusual hobbies?" "Yes, the Diaper Olympics."
Erica: You're looking at the gold medalist of applying butt paste.
Geoff: "What are you passionate about?" "My daughter and, sometimes, my husband."
Erica: I wrote what I wrote. Deal with it.
Geoff: These answers seem kinda baby-centric.
Erica: It's just these last few months, my brain's been nothing but "baby, baby, baby," and it's hard to switch gears.

Geoff: Erica, look at me. Being a lawyer is your dream, and you're gonna make it happen. I know it.
Beverly: You know, I coulda been a lawyer.
Erica: Oh, really? You never mentioned it.
Beverly: I have experience arguing with judges, police officers, magistrates, and a homeless man I like to call Matlock because of his Southern accent. [laughs] I made more homemade baby food for Muriel.
Geoff: Nice, she gobbles this stuff up. And I have to admit, I may have sampled the wares during a peckish moment, and my review is in... delish.
Beverly: I'm the best at what I do.
Erica: In this very specific case, sure.

Adult Adam: [v.o.] It was April 19th, 1980-something and I was in search of inspiration. I needed a creative jolt to get me back behind the camera.
Adam: Boring. Lackluster. Yawn. Men with hats in black and white. [tv static hisses] Welp, I did it. I reached the end of TV.
Adult Adam: But then I saw it. A music video that blew my mind and captured my heart. It was so full of joy, so fresh, so singular, it gave me the spark of originality I needed.

Dave Kim: I just have one question... Is Barry gonna be involved?
Adam: No. He just plopped down on the couch and refused to leave.
Barry: Power move!
Adam: And he's also been screaming "power move" off and on for the last hour.
Barry: Which is, in itself, a power move!
Dave Kim: So, Billy Joel. What are we thinking?
Adam: I'm thinking Carmen and I could play the lead roles of high-class beauty and everyman hero.
Barry: Yes! It's settled. I will play the role of William Joel... The curly-haired musical prodigy dripping with charisma, sex appeal, and sweat.
Adam: Again, I don't want you involved, and you could never fill the shoes of the piano man.

Adam: Carmen's the uptown girl. I'm the downtown boy.
Barry: Uh, not buying it. Carmen's the one with the real world bonafides to play a hard-working man.
Carmen: Thanks?
Barry: Her father owns an auto body shop, while you live in a white bread world of Pudding Bars and stunning older brothers. You're the uptown girl in a fancy car, unable to handle a minor automotive inconvenience.
Dave Kim: He does paint a compelling picture. I'm invested.
Adam: No! She's Christie Brinkley and I'm the rough-and-tumble Billy Joel.
Dave Kim: Is Billy Joel even the rough-and-tumble Billy Joel?
Adam: Wait. Barry's idiotic idea gave me a good one. We can shoot the video at Carmen's dad's auto body shop!
Barry: Power move!
Adam: Starting to think you don't have a grasp on that phrase.

Lauren: Oh, thank Goddess you're home. I need more of your mom's homemade baby food. It's the only natural product Hazel will eat.
Erica: Wait... she ate my mom's baby food?
Lauren: I hate saying this because I've seen how much bacon grease your mom pours into her pancake batter, but she's an amazing cook.
Beverly: Did somebody say amazing cook? Oh. Hello, Lauren. I see you're still friendly with Erica.
Lauren: Beverly. Your car wasn't in the driveway and I got my hopes up, but here you are.
Beverly: [chuckling] Yes. I'm always here. I live here.
Lauren: It certainly seems that way.

Erica: Her daughter likes your baby food.
Lauren: It's true. [sighs] Can I get a few more jars?
Beverly: For your adorable daughter who rightfully prefers my delicious baby food to that of her weirdo mother's? Of course. I'm off to get fresh produce. [exits]
Lauren: Oh, what a fun lady to have deeply embedded in your life.
