Quote of the Day
Quote from Sue in Back to Summer
Sue: Not so fast. Summer's not officially on till my graduation on Friday, when you watch me accept my special award, presented by the principal in front of everyone. [screams]
Frankie: Oh, honey. Well, you certainly earned it.
Frankie: [v.o.] Boy, did she earn it. Sue'd set her sights on the perfect attendance award years ago, and nothing was gonna make her miss a day of school.
[flashback to a red-nosed Sue sitting at her desk with bottles of cold medicine:]
Frankie: Here.
[flashback to Sue rushing to her locker to vomit]
[flashback to Sue sneezing as she climbs rope in gym class, causing her to crash to the floor]
Sue: I did it. I put myself and countless others at risk, but it was worth it!
Mike: We're very proud.

Quote from Brick in Hecks on a Train
Brick: Do we have any details about the cause of Aunt Edie's death?
Mike: Just one. She was 96.
Brick: Interesting. Has anyone questioned Helen Riley? She was the perennial runner-up to Aunt Edie in the church pie contest.
Quote from Mike in Not Your Brother's Drop Off
Mike: How you doing balancing the checkbook?
Sue: Well, I must have done it wrong. I have your balance at minus $11.
Mike: No, you did it right. It's us who did it wrong. [Frankie and Mike high-five]
Quote from Mike in Survey Says...
Mike: You know when I was happiest? I mean really happy? When I was driving everybody. When they were small, and I'd be driving. Didn't matter where. It was just me at the wheel and you next to me and those three idiots in the back. And I knew everything was okay, 'cause I was driving. And I had it. I had everybody.

Quote from Mike in Valentine's Day II
Frankie: Like, when I started dating your dad, he took me to this disgusting movie where a guy cuts the cop's ear off. And I thought, "Whoa, what kind of person am I dating who likes this horrible, horrible movie?" It could have ended the whole deal right there. But he was cute, so I kept dating him...
Mike: Hang on. Are you talking about Reservoir Dogs? You loved Reservoir Dogs.
Frankie: No, I didn't. So here's the thing. Even though you didn't want Autumn to know yet...
Mike: You said you loved it.
Frankie: Well, I didn't. So even though it's not what you planned, it's not the end of the world or Autumn, I promise you, okay?
Mike: I thought you were cool, because you liked Reservoir Dogs. In fact, that's one of the reasons I married you.
Frankie: 18 years and 3 kids, Mike. It worked out.
Mike: You really didn't like Reservoir Dogs? What part of it didn't you like?
Frankie: Oh, I don't know. Maybe the gallons of blood.
Mike: That's what made it cool!
Quote from Axl in The Graduate
