Mike: What's going on?
Frankie: I don't know, but I am sick of it. He turned 13, and a switch flipped, and all of a sudden, he's a tiny Axl. I'm telling you, we got to nip this in the bud now. We are at a crucial juncture. You know, when Axl went south, we weren't paying attention, and look what happened. And Brick is smarter, so he's more dangerous.
[Mike sighs] Sue, come in here. We're having Axl's birthday ice cream.
Sue: Ugh, no. I can't eat any more. I'm full of fortune cookies.
Frankie: Well, too bad, 'cause we're punishing Brick. And us eating ice cream and him not is part of the punishment. Now lick.
Mike: [groans] How is this teaching him anything? He's not even here to see it.
Frankie: You're right. [walks to Brick's room] Hi. I just wanted you to see that we're all having ice cream and you're not because you're punished. I just wanted you to see this so you know what you're missing so you'll learn for the future. Mike? Sue? Get in here. Mmm. See? We're all having a great time. Mmm! This tastes so good. Show him how good it tastes, guys. Mmm!
Brick: Mmm.
Frankie: Taste the lesson. O-okay. Chop Suey's making a move. We're done punishing you. How smart is your smart mouth now? Not very. I love you. I'm sorry. You brought this on yourself.
