‘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 Mike

Mike: Maybe keeping him away from the movies wasn't the worst idea. [Frankie scoffs] Hey, you've been acting weird. What's with you?
Frankie: Why don't you guess?
Mike: Oh, no. I don't like this game.
Frankie: All right, then, I'll tell you. You embarrassed me in front of our friends. "Let the man finish his story."
Mike: Oh, Frankie, come on. I was trying to help you.
Frankie: What?
Mike: You kept interrupting Bill, and it was getting uncomfortable.

Quote from Mike

[Mike's recollection:]
Bill: So, I'm working at this resort, and they say there's this big group coming in, right? You've got your sections-
Frankie: Oh! When I was a waitress, I never got the section I wanted! I have no idea why!
Bill: Well, anyway-
Frankie: Oh, no. I know why! There was this one waiter, the owner's nephew. Brian! Ugh, I hated that guy!
Bill: So, I didn't know who it-
Frankie: Who it is.
Bill: But I knew it was somebody-
Frankie: Big. Yeah, for sure.
Bill: [talks quickly] Because they wanted five sliced lemons in their water because you never-
Frankie: Okay, what is it with people and lemons in the water? Why do people like that? You get the seeds in your throat. Am I right? Who's with me?
Bill: Yeah.
Mike: So, anyway, you were getting lemons...
Bill: So, I'm, uh, getting the lemons, and in comes...
Frankie: Was it Heather Locklear? I bet it was Heather Locklear 'cause I read that she visited Missouri one time. I like her. She's so real. I think we would be friends. I really do.
Mike: Honey, let the man finish his story, okay?

Quote from Frankie

[Frankie's recollection:]
Bill: So, I'm working at this resort, and they say there's this big group coming in, right? You got your sections.
Frankie: When I was a waitress, I never got the section I wanted.
Bill: Exactly!
Frankie: We had this one waiter, the owner's nephew. Brian! I hated that guy.
Bill: Oh, man, we had a Brian!
Frankie: No! [laughter]
Bill: So, I don't know who's coming in, okay, but I knew it was somebody special because they had to have exactly five sliced lemons in their water.
Frankie: What is it with the lemons in the water? I do not get why that's fancy. You get seeds in your throat. It's not quenching. [laughter]
Mike: So, you're bringing the guy lemons.
Bill: [clears throat] Yeah. Yeah, only- Only I didn't say it was a guy. [all "ooh"]
Mike: [sarcastically] Oh.
Bill: So I got the lemons, the door opens, and guess who it was. [silence]
Frankie: Was it Heather Locklear? 'Cause I think I read an article where she-
Mike: Pbht! Let the man finish his story!

Quote from Mike

Mike: I didn't go like this. I went like this.
Frankie: Oh, [scoffs] it doesn't matter. Either way, it was disrespectful to me. When we go out in the world, we present a picture of a loving, happy marriage.
Mike: We do?
Frankie: Yeah, and you took that picture and you just smashed it between your long, Crypt Keeper fingers.
Mike: Give me a break. Every couple gets annoyed with each other.
Frankie: In private. You did it in public. You let everyone in. There's now six people in our marriage.
Mike: Good, can I pick another one to hang out with?

Quote from Nancy Donahue

Nancy: Oh, I feel like I have to pee, but it's just excitement!

Quote from Axl

Sean: Check it out.
Axl: Hmm?
Sean: That kid's going in for a kiss.
Axl: Ooh, gutsy move right at the beginning. If she shoots him down, that's a long movie.
Sean: Yeah, but if she doesn't, that's two hours of kissing.
Axl: High risk, high reward. [gasps]
Sean: Yeah!
Axl: And he scores. Nice.

Quote from Axl

Sean: Man, I remember my first kiss.
Axl: Oh, yeah. Totally memorable. I mean, all of mine are memorable for the girl. But that first one Susie Baker's basement.
Sean: Me too.
Axl: Yeah? [both chuckle] Helped it was super dark.
Sean: Yeah.
Axl: Wouldn't have had the nerve otherwise.
Sean: Yeah, I did it in that closet behind Susie's furnace, where it's super dark.
Axl: Me too. [chuckles nervously]
Sean: And so, we kissed for a f-few seconds, and then Susie's dad came downstairs, and yelled, "Everybody out! I want to watch Deal Or No Deal!".
Axl: Yes.
Sean: So we ran like crazy, and she- she hit her head.
Axl: And I hit my head.

Quote from Sue

Sue: So then I found Brick, but when I got back to the library, you were gone.
Logan: Oh, when I couldn't find you, I thought maybe you were blowing me off.
Sue: No, no. No, no, no, no, no. I don't blow off. That's not my sty...uhl. Style. I tried to shorten "style" and it came out "sty."
Logan: Uh-huh.
Sue: You were there for that.
Logan: Uh-huh. [laughs] So, uh So I guess that means we actually want to spend time together.
Sue: I guess it does.
Logan: I'm sorry. Uh, you're missing the movie.
Sue: What's a movie? Oh! Oh, right. Oh, no. I don't care about that. I'm only here because my parents made me. Let me just get them this butter. Just stay... right here.
Logan: Yes, yes.
Sue: Actually, you know, maybe we should just exchange info this time, just to be safe.
Logan: Smart. [Sue's phone slips out of her hands] Butter.

Quote from Mike

Mike: Pretty boring, huh?
Ron: Who'd have thought a movie about unsafe drinking water in the Midwest wouldn't be a thrill ride?
Mike: [chuckles] Yeah. Hey, Ron, let me ask you something Do you think I was too hard on Frankie earlier?
Ron: What do you mean?
Mike: In the lobby. When she kept interrupting Bill, and I told her to let him finish.
Ron: Oh, I didn't notice anything.
Mike: Thank you. 'Cause she's saying it's a big deal, and now we're supposed to talk about it at home.
Ron: Uh-oh. If I were you, I'd just apologize and end it here. Never take a fight to a second location.
Mike: Huh.
Ron: All right, I'm heading back in. I don't want to miss the big lab scene where they test the dirt.
Mike: Yeah.
