Frankie: [v.o.] Some people dread birthdays, but I say you got to celebrate every one. It was Axl's 21st... a pretty momentous occasion. [Frankie blows out the candle on the cake alone] So, Axl was at the age when he didn't come home for birthdays anymore, but I was fine with it. I'd accepted it. I spent the whole day just leaving him alone.

Frankie: [sings on card] We are family... It's Mom. Call me!
Frankie: [sending a text] "Hi, Axl. Just wanted to make sure you got the gold-toe socks I sent for your birthday."
Frankie & Sue: [sing into phone] Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday, dear Axl
[At a party in their dorm room, Kenny hands Axl a cell phone:]
Axl: Hello?
Frankie: Oh, hey, Axl! I called Kenny 'cause I was having trouble reaching you. Not that I worry. You're 21 now, but still. You're always gonna be my baby. Anyhoo, you know how I like to tell you the story of your birth. Well, right about this time, I was pushing you out of my body. Yeah, I just thought I had to poop, but it was you.
Axl: Oh. Mom, I'm a little busy.
Frankie: Yeah, well, sure. Sure. Have fun. Oh, wait. Did you get the so... [Axl hangs up]
