Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] Once the bunny was in the bathroom, he stayed there. Kind of like Mike on a Sunday.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: I'm his mom. I think I know what Brick wants.
Mike: How do you know what Brick wants? Have you ever asked him?
Frankie: No. No, I have not. Wow. We never talk to Brick about... anything. Maybe we should talk to him.
Mike: Maybe we should.
Frankie: I mean, what's the worst that could happen? He gets another tic?
Mike: It's not like we'd notice it, anyway.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: So, Brick, as parents, your dad and I often talk about what's best for you. But we realize we don't always include you in these talks.
Brick: I appreciate your candor. I think I'm mature enough to be involved. Whoop.
Frankie: So I'm just gonna lay it out for you. Here goes. I don't think it's a secret that you are unique, and we want you to stay unique.
Mike: But not so unique that you get labeled as... too unique.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] It was a great moment for Axl and an even greater moment for Sue. The only difference was, everybody knew who Axl was and what he had done, but they didn't know who Sue was. She was like a superhero. When she was in plainclothes, she was just Sue. But when she was in the mascot suit, she could do anything.
Quote from Axl
Sean: Well? [Axl shrugs] Man, you still don't know?
Darrin: You better hurry. We're about to leave for the dance.
Axl: That's it. I'm just going for it and picking one. I got a 60/40 chance, so, uh... Courtney! [kisses Courtney]
Courtney: Axl! [slaps Axl]
Axl: Ow. Uh... Debbie! [Debbie slaps Axl] What?
Debbie: That was totally inappropriate.
Courtney: Totally.
Axl: Hold on. Why are you mad? 'Cause you're my girlfriend's best friend, or because you're my girlfriend, and I kissed you inappropriately in front of your best friend? Wait! Don't go! One of you is really important to me!
Quote from Axl
Axl: Why are you talking to them? They don't know I'm your sister.
Sue: And I'm working very hard to keep it that way.
Axl: They're cheerleaders, and you're... whatever this is. Now leave. You're Sue-ing up the place.
Sue: No. This is my house, too, Axl, and I can go wherever I want.
Quote from Sue
Sue: Oh, hey, Mom, I wanted to talk to you about what I'm gonna try out for this fall.
Frankie: Uh-huh?
Sue: I was thinking I shouldn't try out for anything. Maybe I should just save myself for Wrestlerettes.
Frankie: Oh, thank God... that you're gonna be spending more time with us. Yay!
Sue: But don't worry. I am not just going to squander my time. I am going to use it to try to learn a cartwheel.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: So no yellow group, then?
Mrs. Tompkins: Oh, God, no. See, with the new tic, Brick's issues have moved out of my area of expertise, so I'm wondering how you'd feel if I looped in my colleague, the school therapist.
Frankie: A therapist? Oh, I don't know about-
Mrs. Tompkins: Fortunately, Dr. Fulton just happened to be free this period.
Dr. Fulton: [wheels in] Hi. Chuck Fulton.
Frankie: Oh, wow. She said your name, and here you are, almost as if you'd been waiting. [chuckles]
Quote from Axl
Axl: Every time I try to get Courtney alone, Debbie is always there.
Sean: Wait. I thought you were dating Debbie.
Axl: What? No, I'm dating Courtney.
Darrin: Uh, I don't think so.
Axl: Why would you say that?
Sean: 'Cause everybody at school thinks you're dating Debbie.
Axl: Well, then, everybody at school is wrong.
Darrin: Are you sure?
Axl: Yeah, Darrin. I think I know who I'm dating. It's Courtney.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Man, it doesn't get much better than this. Chillin' out, watching The Avengers, dating the hottest girl in school.
Debbie: Oh, that's sweet. Isn't that sweet, Court?
Courtney: So sweet. Isn't he the best?
Debbie: He is. I don't think there's ever been a better boyfriend.
Courtney: Never a better boyfriend.
[cut to Axl raking leafs with Sean and Darrin:]
Axl: I have no idea who I'm dating.
