Frankie Quote #11
Frankie: Do you see Sue?
Mike: No. Where the hell is she? [sees Sue] She's on the crew.
Axl: What? Oh, that's great! The only thing lamer than show choir is being on the crew for show choir.
Aunt Edie: Where's Sue?
Frankie: She's in the- the middlish row behind the pregnant girl. Why didn't she tell us she was only on the crew?
Mike: I don't know. She does look real happy, though. [chuckles] That's my daughter. That's my daughter right there. Go, Sue!
[Frankie and Mike grab Sue's attention and wave to her. Frankie pulls out a digital camera and takes a photo. Mike gets Axl and Brick to stand up and wave to Sue while Frankie takes another picture. Sue is the lone member of the crew left on stage as she waves to her family.]
Frankie: [whispers] Sue, the box.
Mike: [whispers] The box.
[As one of the singers steps forward, she realizes there isn't a box in front of her. As she tries to avoid falling, the singer behind her steps forward and knocks her over. As the singers tumble into each other and the scenery crashes down, a singer is left dangling from a lighting rig as Sue holds her box near the front of the stage.]

Quote from Brick
Brick: You have a meeting with my teacher Monday.
Frankie: What?
Brick: It's imperative that you both be there, she says. [whispers] Imperative!
Mike: Who's he whispering to? Why does he do that? I thought I told you to knock that off.
Brick: I like it. It soothes me.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Oh, damn it. Come on! Can you hear me?
Frankie: [v.o.] Some people call this the middle of nowhere... You know, one of those places you fly over on your way from somewhere to somewhere else, but you wouldn't live here.
Airline Steward: Folks, right now we're flying over the great state of Indiana, if you'd like to take a look. [nobody looks]
Frankie: [v.o.] Well, look down next time, and you'll see us down here in the middle... Orson, Indiana, heart of the heartland, proud home of Little Betty Snack Cakes, the demolition derby for the homeless and the world's largest polyurethane cow. So how'd I end up in the middle of the road in this getup?
Frankie: Here? No. Bars! I got bars.
Frankie: [v.o.] Guess it all started a couple of weeks ago, and no, I'm not an actual superhero, not unless you count getting my kids out the door for school every morning.
Quote from Mike
Mrs. Rettig: Well, that may be because you haven't spent much time here in the classroom.
Mike: Are we supposed to? I mean, isn't that the point of school. That between 8:00 and 3:00, he's your problem? If he, you know, eats his napkin at dinner, we don't call you and ask you to come over to our house. [chuckles]
