Quote from Frankie in Hecking Order
Frankie: [v.o.] The thing is, in a family, people take charge at different times. Sometimes a sister helps out in a way a mom and dad can't. Sue: You know, Brick, you should really think about going to gym. If you climb to the top of the rope you get a coupon for a free frozen yogurt. Frankie: [v.o.] Sometimes a kid helps the parent. Mr. Wilkerson: [on video chat] Mr. Heck. Hey, uh, just following up on that paperwork I asked you to turn in yesterday. Mike: Hey, Brick? Your teacher's on my computer. I don't wanna talk to him. How do I get rid of this guy? Brick: Hit "escape." Also, he can hear you. Frankie: [v.o.] And sometimes, it was a brother who helped a sister make it to class on time, and she never even knew it. Axl: Hey! Losers! This is someone's locker. Do it under the bleachers like normal people, huh? Frankie: [v.o.] Alone, we would die, but together... Axl: Come on, kids. Time for bed. Mike: Hmm? Frankie: I can't. Brick: You've got work in the morning. Sue: You're gonna be miserable tomorrow if you don't. Let's go. Frankie: [v.o.] Together, we're barely functional.
