‘Dollar Days’
Season 4, Episode 20 - Aired April 10, 2013
After graduating from dental assistant school, Frankie starts searching for a job. Brick finally shows a commitment to something when he joins the Prairie Scouts. Meanwhile, Axl's band get their first paying gig at Orson Dollar Days, just as Darrin and Sue cause a "John and Yoko" split among the band.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Uh... what is that?
Sue: Oh, okay, okay. The thing is, I had already ordered the sticker before you said you didn't want to change the name. And then I was gonna tell you, but then I forgot, so then I thought I would just bring it here anyway and see how everybody felt once it was here.
Sean: Well, I like it.
Darrin: I think it looks awesome, Sue.
Axl: Do you, Darrin? Do you really think it looks awesome? 'Cause you know what I think? I think I've had it! I have been so cool. So cool! But I am so sick of this! You... are Yoko-ing the band! But not just the band, you're Yoko-ing my school, you're Yoko-ing my house. You two together are poison! You wanna be Daseanax? Fine. Go ahead. No, maybe you should be Daseansue, 'cause the Ax Man... is out!
Quote from Pat
Frankie: [v.o.] While Mike was searching for a rogue Scout, I was Aunt Edie's, talking to my mom.
Pat: Look, honey, any dental office would be lucky to have you.
Frankie: Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
Pat: No. It's true. People have always loved being around you. All the moms wanted you in their carpool. You were very lively.
Frankie: You know, I have noticed that when I sign up for something at church, one or two people sign up after me.
Pat: I did not give birth to average people. I am telling you, you are the whole package. You are a warm, special, beautiful, amazing person. And if they don't believe that, they can call me.
Frankie: Oh, thank you.
Frankie: [v.o.] Mom always seems to have the answers. Why did I ever move out?
Quote from Axl
Darrin: Hey, uh, look, about what happened before... I think we should talk.
Axl: Okay. I'm listening.
Darrin: We've been friends a long time. And I just want to say, I feel you're being disrespectful to Sue.
Axl: What? Are- Are you kidding me?
Darrin: I don't know if you realize this, but sometimes, you sort of make fun of her and put her down. She has a lot to offer, and I think you could be more supportive.
Axl: Wait. Don't tell me how to treat Sue. She is my sister. And if I wanna rank on my sister or fart on my sister's head, I will fart on my sister's head.
Darrin: Maybe you can't see it 'cause you're her brother, but she's a sensitive, beautiful woman.
Axl: Oh! Bleugh! Don't call my sister a woman! That is disgusting. And you know what? You could have dated, like, any other girl in the world, but you just had to pick my sister.
Darrin: I really like her. She's sweet and funny, and all these-
Axl: Oh, my God, I will not stand by while you say nice things about her.
Quote from Sue
Sue: Oh... okay, listen, Darrin, I've been thinking... that punch in the face was a real slap in the face. You know, when we got together, we didn't even think about how it would affect anyone else. And now we've just left a trail of destruction in our wake. I just feel like you and Axl have been friends for, like, ever. And I don't wanna be the one to come between you two.
Darrin: Yeah. Wait a minute. Are you breaking up with me?
Sue: Oh, gosh. I've never done this before, and I have no idea if I'm doing it right.
Darrin: No. You're doing it right.
Sue: I'm so sorry, Darrin. I really, really am. Breakups are tough. Matt broke my heart. And Brad and I split three years ago, and he still hasn't kissed a girl. But I just feel like it's getting too hard.
Darrin: Yeah. Axl and I always said we'd never let a woman come between us. That's a much easier pact to make when you're 6 and girls have cooties.
Sue: And when you think about it, you know, we only have two months of school left. And I have all my sophomore activities, and you have all your senior activities. And... what about all the girls at air conditioning school? You're not gonna want to be tied down. I just feel like we'd be better friends.
Darrin: I guess I can live with that. But I'm always gonna think of you when I see a mirror ball.
Sue: And I'll always think of you when I dance... or taste blood.
Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] We all earn badges in life. Some tell the world who you are, others tell the world of your achievements. Some will stay with you forever, and some you hope won't.
Axl: Sorry about your face.
Sue: I know. 'Cause it's so ugly. Ha ha.
Axl: Good one. But, no, I was actually asking how you're doing.
Sue: Oh. Darrin and I broke up.
Axl: Ooh. Really?
Sue: Yeah. Well, it seemed like it was for the best. I think we're better as friends.
Axl: Hey, uh... all that stuff I do to you... it's just, you know, what we do. It doesn't mean anything, right?
Sue: Right.
Axl: Of course, I'm still gonna knock the plate out of your hand, tickle you till you pee, and make you smell my armpit from time to time.
Sue: I understand.
Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] Graduation: the pomp, the circumstance, but at Orson Technical Institute, utility room C, there wasn't much of either.
Instructor: Congratulations to the class of first quarter 2013!
Axl: Class of first quarter 2013 rules!
Quote from Axl
Sue: Aha! Way to go, mom!
Frankie: Aw.
Mike: I'm really proud of you, Frankie.
Axl: Well, I think I can speak for all of us when I say you're a true inspiration. And if we can achieve...
Frankie: You're not getting a car.
Axl: God! But-- ugh. You're gonna get a job. I'm sorry. I'm so confused. What was all this for?
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: So what do you think of this?
Mike: I like it.
Frankie: Well, how 'bout this one?
Mike: Yeah. Like that one, too.
Frankie: Mike. You're just trying to get out of helping.
Mike: Did it work?
Frankie: Oh, I can't believe I actually have to go on interviews now. Maybe I should take a sip of wine before I go in. People always say I'm great at parties.
Mike: Don't know how many dentists are looking for a drunk Beyonce impersonator, but worth a shot.
Quote from Mike
Mike: I'd hold off on that check. You know he's just gonna quit.
Frankie: You know, you should be thrilled, Mike. Your odd son wants to do a boy thing.
Mike: Yeah. I've been burned before, Frankie. Remember basketball? All he did was count the dribbles.
Frankie: I don't know. He seems to be really into it this time. This could be his thing.
Mike: It's not his thing.
Frankie: Oh, yeah? You don't know that. He made our bed.
Quote from Brick
Mike: Packin' it in and hittin' the road?
Brick: My Scout troop's going camping this weekend.
Mike: Camping? You remember what that is, right? When we slept in a tent, outside with the bugs?
Frankie: I know. I'm gonna get my camping badge. But I can't go if I don't get that check. So...
Mike: Yeah. About that... Look, Brick, we can't afford to just fork over 40 bucks for something you're just gonna quit.
Brick: I get your concern. I understand I've been a quitter in the past. That's mom's influence.
Mike: Yeah, probably.
Brick: But not this time. I'm committed, Dad. I'm in it till the end.
Mike: Okay. Well, you realize the end is not tomorrow. We're gonna get our 40 bucks worth of fun out of this no matter how miserable you are.
Brick: It's all good, Dad. I've got this.
