Axl: Sweet! Now I can finally go swimming at the Fergusons.
Brick: Fergusons? Who are the Fergusons?
Frankie: Damn it, Axl! You had to blow it! He bought it! We were in the clear. It had heart. It had funny. Great attention to detail. I mean, come on! The sauerkraut by the sink? I pulled that out of my...
Mike: You had to make up a story where I look like an idiot? I won't pay 10 bucks for parking? I'm cheap and a wuss? This is a football scar. From football. Not passing out.
Sue: This is the unicorn all over again.
Mike: I don't pass out. The people at work know I've never passed out.
Axl: A courtesy text would've been nice! I'm not a mind reader.
Brick: You made all that up!? All right. No one gets out of this room until I get the real story. The true, non-made-up, actual, fact-based story. I'm waiting.

Quote from Brick
Frankie: [v.o.] Iis there anything better than a surprise party? The only hard part is keeping the secret. But when you pull it off, it's something no one ever forgets. Yep, everyone loves a surprise party.

Brick: Here's a list of everyone's food allergies and dietary restrictions. We all voted on a peanut butter cake, except for two kids who will die if they go anywhere near it. I'll let you hash that out.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Okay, Brick, here's the thing. You invited 25 kids to the party, but everything comes in packs of 24. We're not gonna buy a whole extra set just for one kid, so you're gonna have to uninvite someone.
Brick: I can't.
Frankie: Come on. There's always one kid nobody wants at the party.
Brick: That's me, Mom.
Quote from Brick
Brick: After careful consideration, I've come to realize something. I have the coolest birthday story ever. [Frankie sighs] Axl and Sue only get one day. I have a whole month.

Brick: Hey, everyone makes mistakes, even me. Remember that mysteriously broken lamp you grounded Axl for? I walked into it while reading.

Frankie: Ah.
Brick: Oh, and, um... Here's a list of additional birthday gifts I'd like. The pony doesn't have to be black. Just not white. The white ones are impossible to keep clean.
Frankie: There's over 50 things on here.
Brick: You don't have to get 'em all now. You can take a month... Give or take a day.
