"Adult Adam:" "Ah, going away to college." "Back in the day, packing up your life for a fresh start was a sacred ritual for high-school seniors everywhere." "And no one was more excited to go away forever than my sister." "Okay, I'm all packed for college." "Now all I need is to befriend my R.A." "so that I can throw a kegger without consequences." "[Chuckles] Well, you're three months early." "You haven't even graduated high school yet." "I may have jumped the gun a bit, but it's only because I'm counting down the hours until I get out of this hellhole." "You get it." "Well, I still have three months left where you're my little baby schmoo that I want to gobble up because you're just so delicious!" "Nyum, nyum, nyum," " nyum, nyum, nyum, nyum!" " Aww." "Your mom-brain is fighting this." "It's funny." "There's nothing funny about losing a child..." " to college." " Mom, face it." "Our family is changing." "Everything that you've come to know over the past few years is about to be turned on its head." "Don't say that!" "The Goldbergs will always stay the same!" "Nothing will ever change in this house." "Nothing except Lainey leaving for fashion school and basically taking a dump on my dreams." "Okay, fine." "I acknowledge that's also big." "Erica and Lainey are going to college." "But that's it..." "No more changes." "Hey, Ma, can you pick up some Bic razors?" "Mine's a little dull from scraping the old scruff." "No!" "Bad boy!" "You do not shave!" "I gotta." "My old lady, Jackie, likes me smooth." " But I'm your old lady." " You know, saying that kind of stuff was cute when I was a tiny child," " but now it's getting weird." " Fine." "Erica and Lainey are leaving." "My little baby boy has grown into a gangly, deep-voiced, furry young man." "But that's it... no more changes." "Look out, everybody." "Make way!" "Erica said that I can have her room now that she's gone, right?" " Oh, right." "You're here, too." " That's right." "From now on, it's gonna be W-M-A-R-V playing all the hits." "I'm calling the shots now, Bev." "Screw it!" "I give up!" "Nothing will ever be the same again in this house!" "I'm home!" "Nobody bother me!" "TV's mine!" "Never change, you beautiful, miserable man!"

"I don't want to overstate it, but "Police Academy 2:" "Their First Assignment"" "is literally the most important movie of our time." "Sure, it's a critical darling, but if we're talking about laughs per minute, then you got to go with "Police Academy 3:" "Back in Training."" "Point taken." "Hey, do you have time to stay and watch" ""Police Academy 4:" "Citizens on Patrol"?" "Obviously. "Police Academy 5:" "Assignment:" "Miami Beach"" "comes out tomorrow, and we can't go in unprepared." "Oh, my God!" "I have a girlfriend who actually likes "Police Academy"!" "You just called me your girlfriend." "Oh, balls." "Did I go..." "I went too far." "I went too far." "I mean, no." "You said it, so" "I'll say it, too. [Chuckles]" " Boyfriend." " Girlfriend." " Boyfriend." " Girlfriend." " Boyfriend." " A-girlfriend." " Boyfriend." " Girlfriend!" "Damn it!" "Why do you insist on ripping my heart from my shredded pecs and punting it into a cauldron of flames?" "Look, we only have a few months left before I go to college!" "Let's not waste it fighting!" "But I want our Barry/Lainey Summer of Love Farewell Tour" " to be perfect!" " And I want that, too, but this list of mandatory activities is just too much." "I mean, come on." "Look at this..." "Road trips, picnics, concerts, skiing, apple picking, berry picking, pear picking..." "So many fruits." "I don't want to work this hard." "[Clears throat loudly] Hi." "This sounds like an intensely personal conversation, so you may want to take it far, far away from me and my girlfriend." " Boyfriend." " Girlfriend." " Boyfriend." " Girlfriend." "Unh!" "Ughhhhh." "Look at us!" "Look at us closely and know that one day you'll end up just like us, you ridiculous children." "This is getting weird and insulting." "All right." "You'll see." "We're the future you, and it sucks hard." "That'll never be us, right?" "Come on." "We're rock-solid." "Nothing can shake that." " Boyfriend." " Girlfriend." " [Chuckling] Boyfriend." "Boyfriend." " Girlfriend." "Girlfriend." "It was official." "I had a girlfriend who liked "Police Academy."" "Life was finally looking up until this happened." " Oh, balls." " Adam?" "Yep." "We've all been there..." "Running into  your ex with your new love." "Naturally, I handled it like a pro." "Dana!" "Hey!" "How are things going up in here?" "I was gonna call." " I'm back for the summer." " This summer?" "That's crazy!" "I'm crazy!" "Summer!" "Hot times!" "Fun in the sun!" "Camp." " I'm Jackie." " Hi." "Dana." "Sorry!" "Yes!" "Jackie, meet Dana!" "Dana, meet Jackie!" "Introductions, new friends..." "Not friends, just street ladies, ladies of the street." "No." "You know what I mean." "Well, when you're free, we should get together" " and catch up." " Ketchup!" "♪ Mustard, pickles ♪" "♪ Onions on a sesame-seed bun ♪" "Welp, great seeing everybody." "Bye, now." "Wait!" "What about "Police Academy"?" "!" "As I desperately escaped my worst nightmare, my mom was  dreaming up ways to spend the summer with her baby." "Erica and Geoff." "So funny running into you here." " Damn it." "She's got the chalkboard!" " Oh, no." "I'm upset, but why?" "That thing only comes out when someone wants something dumb that only makes sense with a visual aid." "Hey, there's nothing dumb about my Cuddle Calendar." "Oh, God, it's got a catchy, but terrible name." "Run," "Geoff." "Shield your innocent eyes!" "Go, go, go!" "I can't!" "The board's blocking us!" "We're trapped!" "According to my calculations, you have 63 days left before you leave this house and break my heart, litelly killing me dead, which is why I made this schedule..." "To maximize mommy-daughter time." "Okay, according to this ridiculous calendar," "I'm spending every waking second with you." " When do I hang out with Geoff?" " Well, you see that little sliver?" "Right there is a little sliver." "Well, maybe you don't see it, but it says "G.S."" " Oh, that's me." "I get Erica time." " Bro, let me handle this." " Check." " Okay, here." "Let me draw you a chart of my own." "This circle represents how I'll be splitting up" " the rest of my time." " Erica, please." "I'm just gonna miss you so much." "I need to spend as much time with you as I can." "Babe, as much as I love your circle of Geoff," "I couldn't enjoy it knowing it's killing your mom." "I'll be back for my sliver." "Until then," " be with her." " No!" "Stop feeling so deeply!" "It's what I love about you, but it's very inconvenient" " right now!" "Gah!" " [Door closes]" "This is exactly why I can't wait to leave this house and never come back." "Oh, poop." "We both know you're gonna miss my cuddles and snuggles and plubbies next year." " I'm sorry. "Plubbies"?" " It's something I've been workshopping, and I think it's ready to go. [Chuckles]" " Guard your belly button." " Gah!" " Hey." " Hey." "Look, I'm sorry." "Dana was my first real girlfriend, and seeing her took me by surprise." "That's all." "I swear." " It's okay." "I-I get it." " You do?" "Yeah." "It's..." "It's still weird between me and my old boyfriend." "Uh, where is he?" "All I see is Ruben Amaro Jr." " Casually displaying his athleticism." " Yeah." "That's my ex." "Wait." "You were with Ruben Amaro Jr., the Ruben Amaro Jr.?" "From seventh to ninth grade." "Why?" "You spanned three grades with the guy who isn't afraid to change into his gym clothes without a towel around his waist?" "This is not okay!" "Oh, so, you can be weird around Dana, but I can't be weird around my ex?" "I'm not worried about you being weird." "I'm worried about" " you two still having a spark." " I didn't say there was a spark." "It's Ruben Amaro Jr." "Even I feel a spark when he walks by." "Okay, is this what's going on with Dana?" "Do you still have feelings for her?" "Don't try to turn this around on me." "I'm still turning this around on you." "Okay, you're being insane, so have fun figuring things out with your ex and don't let me be a part of it." "Told you, bro." " All love ends." " Stop!" "We'll work it out." "No, you won't." "You'll just end up like me, sniffing a sweater Lainey left in my room" " to remind me of her." " That's Mom's." "No!" "Time was running out for Barry and Lainey, and the same was true for Geoff and Erica." "Just look at everyone, cleaning out lockers, signing yearbooks, saying goodbye." "Let's cherish these moments, people!" "Cherish my butt!" "You suck, Schwartz!" "Sorry." "That was uncalled for." "I have a hard time with transitions." "Why are you the one freaking out here?" " I'm graduating, not you." " I can't help it." "Don't you realize this is the last time we'll ever walk down this hallway together?" "Last time we'll ever reach your locker side-by-side?" "Last time I'll ever watch your nose crinkle as you spin that lock?" "Last time I overlook that you might be gross?" "Okay, please stop narrating all my last things." "There is so much stuff in here." "What's with all these notes from your mom?" "She put one in my lunch every day like a crazy lady," " and I just chuck them in here." " "Dear Schmoo," ""I love you more today than I ever have before." " "I am here for you always."" " Okay, that one's kind of sweet." ""Dear Boopie, you're a perfect angel," ""and Drew Kremp doesn't deserve you." ""P.S. ..." "His Mustang now has some serious scratches"?" "Holy crap." "She's the one who keyed Drew's car?" "!" ""Dear Squishy, I know change is hard, but I promise you," ""sweetie, your boobies will grow just like the rest of you."" "Okay, maybe I shouldn't read all these." "Wow." "I should have paid a bit more attention to these." "You okay?" "I'm really not." "I just realized..." "My mom is amazing." "I'm gonna miss her so damn much!" " What?" " She's always been there for me." "How will I survive without her?" "Maybe you should ask her." "Don't be mad." "I'm not here to bother you." "I'm just subbing for Señora Gomez." "But I did make you these marshmallow fudge chubbies." "Adiós, mija. [Smooches]" " So good." " I know." "These are my last marshmallow fudge chubbies." "God, I hate her so much for making me love her like this!" "The big day was here..." "Gaduation." "It was a time to celebrate the past, look forward to the future, and, for my family, be irritated in the present." "Bev, stop with the crying." "I can't hear the children" " say stupid things." " [Sobbing]" "But my baby is graduating from high school, a day I've been dreading since she graduated from my body." "She's gone forever!" "Hoo-hoo!" "One down, two to go!" "I think both of your attitudes are very extreme and terrible." "And now the moment we've all been waiting for..." "I'd like to invite our graduating seniors to get in line and receive their diploma." "["Pomp and Circumstance" plays]" "[Sighs heavily] I can't believe my baby's going off to college in just a few days." "You mean a few months." "Uh, sure." "Months." "Not on Tuesday morning" " before traffic gets bad." " What?" "I didn't borrow my cousin Greg's flatbed truck." " So, yeah, months." " It sounds like you borrowed your cousin Greg's flatbed truck 'cause my girlfriend is leaving on Tuesday." " You should talk to Lainey." " Lainey!" " I didn't mean now." " Sit down!" "What is this about you leaving in a few days?" "!" "Mr. Goldberg, could you please not interrupt our joyous ceremony?" "!" "Oh, God." "He knows I'm leaving early for Savannah." " How does he know?" " I'm sorry, baby!" " He got it out of me!" " William Vanica." "Dang it!" "If you're not graduating, take a seat!" "Oh, crap!" "He's on the move!" " He's coming over." "What do I do?" " I don't know, man." "I got a really deep emotional thing with my mommy going on." "I'm, like, not okay in the head." "Dude, how could you leave early and not tell me?" "I'll explain everything when the time is right, which is not now!" "No!" "No way!" "Do not walk away from me." "I'm not walking away." "I'm slowly and deliberately marching to receive my diploma." "Joyce Basilone." "Congratulations." "Mr. Goldberg, you are not part of the processional." "Do not process!" "This was supposed to be our Barry/Lainey Summer" " of Love Farewell Tour!" "Now it's done!" " I was gonna tell you at the graduation party 'cause I didn't want to ruin today, which is exactly what you're doing right now!" "Lainey Lewis." " Not the time, man!" " You know what?" " Maybe it's best I'm leaving early." " Maybe it is!" "[Voice breaking] Thank you so much." "I'm very happy." "You're not the only one whose life is crumbling, you big butt!" "And we'll just move right along to  Erica Goldberg." "My sister was steps away from starting her adult life, but as she stood speechless on that stage," " nothing scared her more." " Yeah, I'm good." "Erica, please let's just end this." " Just take it." " No." " Take the diploma." " Pass." " You can't pass." " But I can, and I do." " Take it." " Take the diploma!" " No." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." " Don't come at me with that diploma." " You take this!" " No!" "Fight it!" "Fight that diploma!" " Take this." "You earned it." " Never!" "No fighting, just graduating!" "Seriously, it's a great moment for you!" "I will never graduate!" "You cannot force my life to start!" " Erica, please, just take it!" " No!" " Get away from me!" " It's one of the rules!" " Just take it!" " Sorry." "I slept in." "Did Erica have her Bat Mitzvah yet?" " Come on!" " Get out of here!" " Just take it!" "Take the diploma!" " Stop following me!" "Oy." "What a mess." "Tell me about it." "How could" "Jackie date Ruben Amaro Jr." "And not even tell me?" "Okay, yeah, I was insanely jealous of Jackie's jockey ex-boyfriend." "And so I made a date with my ex, Dana." " Like they say, old love dies hard." " [Laughter]" "Isn't this awesome?" "Yeah." "I guess." "You just checked your watch instead of laughing hysterically at how tall Bubba Smith is." "What's going on?" "I don't get it." "This is part 5." "Shouldn't they have graduated the Academy after the first one?" "I think the problem is you're focusing on logic, not the lovable cast of characters." "Whoooooo!" "Okay, in what world would an officer of the law stop a jewel thief by making weird mouth noises?" "That's Michael Winslow." "He's a national treasure." "They're LAPD." "They wouldn't have any jurisdiction in Miami." "In that moment, it was clear that our spark was gone forever." "Dana was my past love, but Jackie was the future and I had to get her back." "But first, I had to end it with Dana and break her poor heart." "Okay, what's going on?" "Look, I've been wrestling with these emotions much like Hightower wrestled that alligator." "And just as Steve Guttenberg had to move on from the "Police Academy" franchise..." " ♪ I know just how to whisper ♪ - ..." "I, too, must move on." "♪ And I know just how to cry ♪" " [Music slows, stops]" " Wait." "D-Do you think this was a date?" "Uh-oh." "The way you say that makes me feel like..." "Oh, balls." "... I misread this entire situation." " Adam, I'm sorry if you thought that..." " Don't be." "It was really great seeing you again, Dana." "I hope it's not the last time." "That day, I looked like an epic tool in front of Dana, but, even worse, I had lost Jackie." "As for my mom and Erica, they found out that avoiding graduation wasn't an option." "I can't believe I graduated." "More than that, I can't believe" " I let Principal Ball catch me." " The man's like a bald" " cheetah." "Who knew?" " What the hell?" "This isn't a diploma." "It's a note from that putz with the whistle!" ""Insufficient credits." "See Coach Mellor"?" "What does that mean?" "Somebody say something." "Mellor always said that if I skipped too much gym," "I wouldn't get my diploma." "I thought he was full of crap because, you know, gym is stupid, but it's real!" "You mean... you're not going to college?" " I'm not going to college!" " You're not going to college!" "My life has come to a grinding halt!" "It's everything I've ever hoped for!" "Wait a second!" "This is insane!" " Yay!" " I'm a cautionary tale!" "[Laughs]" "What?" "Can't I enjoy the success of my failing child?" "Believe me, I don't want to see her go, either, but she's leaving, end of story." "Murray, I can't handle losing her for the next four years." "I'd rather lose her for a few short years than hold her back forever." "My mom was about to do the hardest thing of her life..." "Force the school to turn over Erica's diploma." "Coach Mellor, we meet again one last, final time." "I take it you read that little note I left for Erica." "All right, let's tango." "She's not coming." "It's just me." "But I kind of need her here." "I had a big, angry speech meant to guilt and shame her for missing my class 27 times this year." "This is an outrage." "You have no right to target her t... 27 times?" "Wow." "That's a lot." "And she forged a doctor's note saying she couldn't run or jump because of "lady problems."" "How dare you accuse her of forgery when you're..." ""Dr. Edmund T. Doctorman."" " Oh, come on." " I warned her for three years..." "Fail gym, pay the price." "Okay, she's still a wonderful girl, and I will stop at nothing until you give me that diploma." "Ugh." "Here you go." " That's it?" " Brace yourself." "Ready to have your mind blown?" "I have no real power." "My greatest weapon is threatening the kids with failing gym." "So, every year, I terrify the attractive, popular kids to let them know that their actions have consequences, even though they really, really don't." "Oh, I'm sorry. [Sighs]" "Do you want me to call Erica and bring her in here?" "Eh, the moment's gone. [Sighs]" "[Air Supply's "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" plays]" "You raised an amazing woman, Beverly Goldberg." "It's been a pleasure doing battle with you." "Pleasure's been mine." "Turns out my mom didn't need to fight after all." "As for Barry, he was just plain devastated after his graduation fight with Lainey." "Wow." "You're really clutching your Wrestling Buddy there." "You only do that when you're super sad." "Lainey's never gonna forgive me for spazzing up her graduation." "Her dad said she's not even coming to Erica's party."
