‘Hecks at a Movie’

Season 7, Episode 15 -  Aired February 17, 2016

When the Hecks go to the movie theater to see a film partly short in Orson, Frankie and Mike fall out after he shushes her during a conversation. Brick is outraged when he learns there's a Planet Nowhere film on the way that isn't faithful to the source material. Meanwhile, Sue runs into Logan again, and Axl and Sean reminisce about their first kisses.

Quote from Sue

Sue: [muffled groan] Are you kidding me? Really?! You give me an Abercrombie model with washboard abs, and then you take him away from me? I will never forgive you for this! Dear God, please forgive me for saying I will never forgive you for this. I'm sorry. I'm-- I'm not myself. You know, I'm confused. It's like I want to fight for Logan, but that would mean competing with you. And I don't want to steal Logan from you. Not that I could steal Logan from you. And I would never steal. Except for the spraws and the butter. Is this punishment for that? This is so frustrating. It's like you are the only one who could help me, but you're also my nemesis. [gasps] Dear God, please forgive me for calling you my nemesis. [exhales] I'm gonna stop talking now. Please just tell me what to do.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: What is the matter with you?! There is a social contract between us! And that social contract says that you have to love, honor, and not do this in front of our friends! I want you to take this hand gesture out of your repertoire of hand gestures!
Mike: You know what? I talked to Ron about it in the men's room, and he didn't think it was a big deal.
Frankie: You talked to Ron? About our marriage? In the men's room?!
Mike: That's right. I talk to people. Not when they're in the middle of a story, but I talk to people.
Frankie: This is a fiasco! Now Ron's gonna tell Nancy and it's gonna be all over the place!
Mike: What are you doing? I got to casually e-mail Nancy about how great our marriage is, and then I'm gonna rip your guts out!
Frankie: Oh, my God! They're back!
Mike: What?
Frankie: The pictures! All our pictures that we lost at Christmas! They're all back! Oh, my God! Every picture from the last seven years! They're all here! Oh! [laughs] Oh!
Mike: Print them out.
Frankie: I will tomorrow.

Quote from Mike

Sue: I got potatoes for everybody.
Brick: Are potatoes a classic movie snack, too?
Frankie: He says we've never taken him to the movies.
Sue: Oh, well, Flatlands is a great first movie to see. It was partially filmed right here in Orson. A Hollywood movie partially filmed in Orson.
Frankie: They used Tally's Diner as what they call an establishing shot. I read that in the Orson Patch.
Mike: It's not actually the inside of the diner. The third unit just came and shot the exterior. What? I drove by.

Quote from Brick

Brick: So, what goes on at the theater? Are there chairs? Is there a conveyor belt that brings you in? As I mentioned, I've never been to the movies.
Mike: Have you been to Earth?
Brick: Not if I have to rely on you to take me there. Snap! Slap it high!
Mike: Shove those down your pants.
Brick: Roger that.

Quote from Frankie

Brick: Hey, Mom! They have popcorn here! We didn't have to bring our own!
Frankie: [chuckles] You'd think he'd never been to the movies. He has. [laughter]

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: Hey, Judi! Exciting, huh?
Mike: Who's that?
Frankie: None of your business. [to Sue] Want some pop, honey?
Mike: I'll take a pop.
Frankie: It's right down there by your gigantic feet. Hey, Fredelle!

Quote from Nancy Donahue

Sue: Oh, here, Sean. I got you a potato, too.
Sean: Thanks. There's no meat on here, right?
Nancy: It's just a phase.

Quote from Brick

Axl: Uh, where are the forks?
Sue: Oh, well, I forgot them, and they didn't have any at the concession stand, so I just took these. Hold them down low. I didn't buy anything when I took them, so they're essentially stolen.
Mike: You can take straws. They figure that in.
Brick: In what?
Mike: In their thing.
Brick: What thing?
Axl: I cannot eat a potato with a straw!
Sue: It's got a tiny spoon at the end of it. It's a spoon-straw. It's a spraw.
Brick: [sucking loudly] Well, so far, movie food is not impressing me.

Quote from Nancy Donahue

Axl: Oh, my God. Can this family never just buy something from a concession stand?!
Sean: It's all good, man. We're all just trying our best to make our way through this life.
Nancy: Nobody wants to hear your liberal jibber-jabber.

Quote from Sue

Frankie: Okay, you know what? These are just dry, that's all. Sue, go back to the concession stand and get some butter.
Sue: No, I already stole once today.
Mike: They figure that in.
Sue: I don't know what that means!
Frankie: Sue, just go.
Sue: I don't want to miss Tally's Diner.
Frankie: You'll be fine. We still have to sit through all the previews.
