Mike: Hop on.
Brick: Really?
Mike: We're going to the bookstore.
Brick: Shouldn't we take the car?
Mike: No. I know a shortcut.
Frankie: [v.o.] That's the thing about Brick. He's always gonna go down his own path. Instead of fighting it, Mike decided to meet Brick on his terms, and just veered right off the path there with him. I guess that counselor wasn't so wrong after all. When it comes to your kids, all you can really do is be concerned, but not overly concerned. Do what you can and hope for the best.
Brick: Dad, you're going through the Meenahan's yard.
Mike: It's okay. I'm gonna have to mow it anyway.
