Quote from Mike in A Tough Pill to Swallow
Sue: Okay. So, what do we do now? What's our plan "B"? Mike: I don't know, Sue. Sue: Well, there must be something. [gasps] Oh, wait! You never mentioned Mom's friend, the hostess at Applebee's. Should we go back in? Mike: No. We're done. Sue: Well, can't we go over her head? Can't we just keep going over heads until we get to the head that says yes? Come on, Dad. What's our next step? Mike: [shouts] I don't have the next step! Don't you get it? You know, we wouldn't be in this mess if you paid just a little bit more attention. I thought a summer in Dollywood would help you grow up, but I guess I was wrong. Sue: Why are you yelling at me? You think I'm not upset? I'm the one who doesn't get to go to college. Mike: [sighs] Look, I'm sorry. I'm just... frustrated. I'm the dad. I'm supposed to know how to fix these things for you, and I just don't know how to fix this.
