Ephram began to play the piano when he was 3 years old.
Julia's parents have been featured in a few shows during the season - why did they not appear at Julia's unveiling? The gathering was small enough that they could easily be recognized by viewers - and it was fairly obvious (even with only a brief glance at those gathered) that they were not present.
Dr. Brown: She was perfect. She was a perfect mother.
Ephram: No, she wasn't. But it's OK. I don't need her to be perfect anymore.
Ephram: You know, I've been angry at you. I've been hating you for a long time now. And I was wrong. You never deserved to be treated that way. Sorry.
Dr. Brown: You know you don't need to apologize, Ephram. I failed you as a father for 15 years. I was never there for you or your mother. That's why sometimes you feel like throwing me off a cliff and that's why your mother did what she did. And I don't blame either of you for it.
Laynie: I can't stay here anymore, Colin. You're sick and nobody wants to deal with it. And I don't wanna make you sad but I just, I can't be here anymore. I feel like everything's gonna fall apart again and I don't wanna be here when it does.
Dr. Abbott: It's an impossible predicament. I mean, they don't want us to treat them like children but then when you try to talk to them like an adult, they act like...
Dr. Brown: Teenagers.
Dr. Abbott: My child won't talk to me anymore. Apparently, I've broken a sacred trust by simply voicing an honest concern.
Dr. Brown: If it makes you feel any better, Ephram's not talking to me right now, either.
Dr. Abbott: Big deal. He never talks to you. You're used to it.
(After revealing that Julia cheated on him)
Dr. Brown: Ephram, it doesn't mean anything, Ephram. Your mother is the same woman you always thought she was. Nothing has changed. Nothing.
Ephram: No. It's all different now. Everything's different.
Dr. Brown: (To Ephram) Your mother met someone, Ephram. I was never going to tell you.
Dr. Brown: (To Ephram) You listen to me, I never cheated on your mother, you understand me? Ever! And if you ever say that again, I swear to God, I won't be responsible for what I do to you.
Dr. Abbott: I was worried about your friend.
Amy: My boyfriend! Boy-friend!! God, I can't believe I didn't see this sooner! It's so obvious what you're doing.
Dr. Abbott: Wh-what are you talking about?
Amy: Oh please, you're trying to keep Colin and me apart. You're not worried about Colin's health. The only thing you're worried about is that I might be growing up too fast and you don't like it. Well, that's just too damn bad! Isn't it?
Ephram: Why don't you just leave him? (Andy) We don't need him, he-he doesn't do anything. We could move away from here. I could help take care of Delia.
Julia: We do need him. I need him, Ephram. I know you don't understand but I love your father very much. I couldn't imagine my life without him. And I'm telling you, this family wouldn't work without him.
Ephram: You guys have been fighting way more than usual, he's been home less and less, something's going on.
Julia: Nothing's going on.
Ephram: He's cheating on you, isn't he? He's cheating on you and you wanna protect him because you don't want me to know what a jerk he really is?
Julia: You're just, so much like your father sometimes.
Ephram: I am nothing like him.
Nina: I have no idea what an unveiling is.
Andy: An unveiling is a Jewish custom. A year after someone passes away, family and friends gather around the grave site to see the headstone get, unveiled. According to Jewish beliefs, when someone dies, the immediate family is supposed to say Kaddish. That's the mourner's prayer three times a day every day for an entire year. After that year is up, they believe that the soul has reached heaven. So when you unveil the stone, it signifies that that person is now resting in peace.
Ephram: What now?!
Julia: What's with the 'tude, dude?
Ephram: Sorry, I thought you were 'him'. And please refrain from using the word 'dude' in a sentence.
Julia: She's obviously a very intelligent girl.
Ephram: She's obviously meant to be with me.
Julia: Obviously.
Ephram: And did you see when we left... she waived. That's right, we waived.
Ephram: How did you even know she worked here? You didn't even know her name... you did know her name. How did you know her name? What are you, CIA?
JuliA: No, PTA. I know everything... now go ask her.
Andy: Whatdya think of these?
Ephram: Hate 'em.
Andy: At least do me the courtesy of looking at them before dismissing them out of hand. What if I had picked a suit in powder blue? That would have been funny and you would have missed the joke.
Julia: Trust me, this is a blessing in disguise. Your father is the absolute worst shopper.
Ephram: My father is the absolute worst everything.
Ephram: You realize the point of knocking is completely eliminated when you don't wait for a response.
