Episode Quotes
 
Joan: God joined the Army.
Naval Officer (God): Navy. It's thematic – I want you to build a boat.
 
Helen: The police department is...what's the technical term?
Will: "Sucks."
Helen: And you don't suck – that's bound to make them hate you.
 
Will: What do you think?
Kevin: I used to call it basketball - now I call it blackmail.
Will: This isn't blackmail. It's an accommodation between two reasonable men.
 
Joan: So did you just pop up to keep me from telling Adam about you?
Old Lady (God): I don't pop – I abide. I'm eternal. No popping.
 
Adam: Price. Somewhere he's got this, like, coffin full of miraculous things kids used to be able to do before he stole it from them.
 
Michael: (to Eddie) So either you give me your gun or I'll find it and I'll feed it to you myself!
 
Joan: It's gone!
Adam: Okay, what's gone?
Joan: (gesturing to her boat) I did all this... no plans. I just cut pieces of wood...and they fit together! And now...
Adam: You lost your mojo.
 
Adam: But it is a boat, right? It's not like a chifforobe?
Joan: What's a chifforobe?
Adam: I don't know, but it's not a boat.
 
Joan: (to Luke) No, I'm in the zone, dogboy! I can't do wrong!
Luke: Dogboy?
 
Adam: Jane!
Joan: Go away, Adam.
Adam: How did you know it was me?
Joan: You're the only one who calls me "Jane."
 
Adam: (about his prior ability to play any instrument) No, no. Not anymore. Mr. Price sits me down at a piano and says, "Okay, Mr. Rove, play." So, I do, and I really lean into it, you know? I'm holding down that loud pedal, and I'm hitting the low notes with my elbow - bong, bong, bong! Grand finale...I lift the piano lid thing, and I strum the strings with my shoe. When I was finished, Mr. Price says, "You have got to be kidding." Since then, I-I can't play a thing. I can't even whistle.
Joan: I'm no expert, but, uh, if you are playing with your elbows...
 
Adam: Wait, who's the new dude?
Grace: Try saying yo at the end of a sentence.
Adam: (to Joan who picks up a wallet with a lot of money in it) You're stinkin' rich, yo.
