Sue: [to the businessman next to her] And in meet 30, I really hit my stride.
Frankie: Sue, get up. Your shift's over.
Sue: But... but it seems like I just got here.
Businessman: You heard your mom. Get up.
Frankie: Sue, if you have a problem, take it up with your dad. He's in charge now. [to the man] I'm sorry. I hope my family hasn't been too disturbing. Oh, could you just take one picture of me with the menu? [he takes a photo] Thanks. I won't bother you again.
[later, Frankie is leaning on his elbow as she snores]

Frankie: Brick! Brick! See what happens when I give up control? You lose our son.
Mike: Well, he's not lost. He's got a luggage tag on his wrist. They'll return him to the house eventually.

Frankie: I am trying to build memories for our family, memories for our daughter, so she has something to write about besides lettuce!
Sue: You read my diary?!
Frankie: Oh, we all have.
Brick: It's no menopause.

Frankie: [v.o.] I guess luck will only get you to Pittsburgh. It takes perseverance and a little insanity to get you all the way to New York, but once we got there, even Mike was glad we went. We saw everything. The Empire State Building. The public library. The Statue of Liberty. It was great. I mean, "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses"? We're all those things. But when it all comes down to it, we are a very lucky family. Lucky we have no money to travel.

Frankie: [v.o.] Everybody loves winter... Till it goes on forever. Then you get a little something called the winter blahs.
Axl: I'm bored.
Frankie: We all are. Go over to the Donahues'.
Axl: Can't. They just got a new car, and they're all out riding around in it. How come we never get anything good? I wish I was a Donahue.
Mike: Me, too.
Frankie: Me, too. Look, we all agree, none of us want to be us, but we're stuck being us, so just climb on board.

Frankie: Oh, my God, Mike. Airfare and hotel. It's a trip for four to New York! [Sue and Frankie scream]
Sue: [sings] We won a trip for four, we won a trip for four
Mike: Give me that. Let me see.
Sue: [sings] We won a trip for four
Mike: Hey! Look at you!
Axl: Nice going.
Sue: [sings] We won a trip for four We won a trip for four
Brick: What's going on?
Axl: The four of us are going to New York.

Mike: I told you, we never should've had the extra kid. Odd numbers are always trouble.
Frankie: Well, what are we gonna do? Should we leave Brick here? He'll probably just have his nose stuck in a book the whole time anyway. And is he really old enough to appreciate it?
Brick: Good night, Mom. Good night, Dad. I love you guys.
Frankie: Oh, he's good.
Mike: And he has ears like a bat, apparently.

Frankie: Where's Brick?!
Brick: Right here.
Frankie: Okay, you know, I'm tired, and you wander, so put this on.

Sue: Axl. Get up. It's my turn. It's been more than 20 minutes.
Axl: On land maybe. You don't know how long it's been up here. A minute earth time is like an hour in the sky. Maybe you'll learn that if you ever get to High School. Oh, I mean dog school. [chuckles]
Sue: Mom! Axl won't switch with me, and it's my turn!
Axl: I don't know this person. Never seen her before in my life.
Sue: No! Get up! Get up! Get up, get up, get up right now!
Frankie: Axl, get up! It's your sister's turn!

Frankie: You know what? Neither of you deserve first class. Brick, come on up. Your brother is coming up.
Sue: What?
Frankie: You two are back in coach!
Axl: Fine.
[When Axl lifts the blanket, he is revealed to be in his underwear]
