Quote from Brick

Frankie: [v.o.] And Brick? He created a wildly successful book series about a quirky kid who gets sucked into his magical microfiche machine and travels through time with his trusty backpack.
Boy: Mr. Heck, I love the part where he licks the car. It's so funny. How'd you think of that?
Brick: I had a very interesting childhood.

Quote from Brick

Axl: No! I'm on level six of Pizza Man! I'm up to eight toppings. Brick, shut off your phone.
Brick: I'm streaming the Planet Nowhere Director's Cut. Sue, you get off yours.
Sue: Not yet. I am watching a dog surf, and he's almost to the shore. Besides, you said the Planet Nowhere movie was terrible.
Brick: It is. I'm hate-watching it.

Quote from Sue

Sue: Wait! Wait, wait, wait. But aren't they expecting you in Ghana?
Sean: Yeah, but it doesn't matter. I'll be back in three months.
Sue: I'll be here. Well, uh, uh, not on this road. I'll be at my house. Or I might be out when you get home, but if you just call me, I will be there... [Sean kisses Sue]
Sean: Will you hold on to this for me until I get back?
Sue: I will. [Sue gasps as the snow globe drops to the ground and smashes] Are you kidding me?! Did that really just happen?
Sean: Sue. It doesn't matter. We don't need it. It did what it was supposed to do. It... It brought us to each other. [they kiss]

Quote from Axl

Mike: Okay, car's all packed.
Axl: Just tell me you got the nunchucks in there.
Mike: I did. But really, Axl, aren't you tired of hitting yourself in the head?
Axl: I don't remember ever doing that.
Mike: Mm.

Quote from Frankie

Axl: Mom, check out this awesome watch Dad gave me.
Frankie: Oh, awesome. Everybody has the time on their phones now, but that's great. [Axl walks off] Are you kidding me?!
Mike: What?
Frankie: I'm trying to be cool, so I don't make my son breakfast or hug him or anything and then you waltz in here with the most heartfelt gift of all time. Where was that gift-giving skill during inflatable footbath season?
Mike: You use it.
Frankie: Yeah, I have a fungus!

Quote from Brad

Brad: Oh, Axl. You know I never had a brother, but I always felt like I did whenever you would say, "Sue, get your dorky friends out of here."
Axl: I meant every word of it.
Brad: Aww.

Quote from Mike

Ron: So, you takin' 64?
Mike: Yep.
Bill: Big mistake. There's all kinds of construction near Evansville. They're putting in a big megachurch. You should probably take Route 22.
Mike: Nah, that's a toll road. I'm not payin' 40 cents.
Bill: Ah. Makes sense.

Quote from Nancy Donahue

Nancy: How ya doin', Frankie? You hanging in there?
Frankie: I'm trying to be cool for Axl's sake, but it's really hard. Is he looking at me? I'm in agony right now. I wish I were dead.
Nancy: I know how you feel. I had a rough time when I dropped Sean off at the airport this morning. But at least I know he's coming back in a couple of months. I can't imagine what you're going through.
Frankie: Aww, thanks, Nancy.
Nancy: Well, our sons may leave us, but at least we'll always have each other. [they hug]

Quote from Axl

Lexie: Okay, I'm trying to be brave here, but I don't think I'm very good at being brave. But you know what I'm good at? Crying. I'm finding I'm surprisingly good at crying. I'm gonna try to make it out there in July, though, okay?
Axl: That's the seventh month, right?
Lexie: Right.
Axl: I love you.
Lexie: I love you, too. [they kiss]
Bill: Wooooooh! [clears throat] Oh, we're, uh, not all doing that?

Quote from Ashley

Ashley: Hello, Axl.
Axl: Weir... Ashley. [chuckles] What are you doing here? How'd you know I was leaving?
Ashley: I just knew.
Axl: Oh. Okay, well, thanks for coming over to say goodbye.
Ashley: Oh, it's not goodbye. [sprinkles dust in Axl's face] See you soon.
Axl: Oh.
