‘Homecoming’

After Axl makes the varsity football team, Frankie is excited to dress up and walk him out onto the field during homecoming. Unfortunately, Sue's first cross-country meet is the same day.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Hi. I'm Sue Heck's mom, and she hasn't come in yet.
Coach Emerson: Who?
Frankie: Never mind. I was just wondering if you know when this'll be wrapping up, because I need to get to homecoming. It's kind of a big deal, 'cause my son's on varsity.
Coach Emerson: Ah, football. Everyone loves the sports with balls. Look, everyone else is in, so I guess it'll be over when your daughter crosses over the finish line.
Frankie: Okay. [exhales] Where is she?
[elsewhere:]
Sue: Oh, my God. I don't see anyone in front of me. Oh! I think I'm first!
Quote from Sue
Frankie: Hey, listen, Sue. Why don't you hop in? I'll drive you to the finish line.
Sue: What?! I can't do that. That's cheating.
Frankie: It's not cheating. You'll still get last place. You'll just get it sooner.
Sue: It's time, Mom. They record your time.
Frankie: No, honey, but see, the... the timekeeper left. She went to homecoming. They all went to homecoming.
Sue: I'm sorry, but I want to cross that finish line, Sue Heck does not give up.
Quote from Frankie
Announcer: [o.s.] And number 32, escorted by Frances and Michael Heck.
Frankie: I'm here. I'm here.
Axl: Oh, thank God. Mom, I was afraid you weren't gonna make it.
Frankie: Here.
Frankie: [v.o.] Yeah, here's what really happened. [horn honks]
Announcer: [on car radio] And now each boy will pin his mother, with the traditional homecoming corsage. The corsages were donated by Al's Hardware, your discount snow shovel destination! Al's hardware... Where the sale never ends! Sale ends Friday.
