Mike: I gotta get up.
Frankie: Mike, you can't. The "fasten seat belt" sign is still on.
Mike: Frankie, you don't know what it's like to be jammed in that seat. Every seat is giant to you.
Frankie: Look, just close your eyes and go to sleep.
Mike: I can't sleep. What if something happens?
Frankie: So what if it does? You're not flying the plane. There's nothing you can do.
Mike: Oh, no. I have to be ready. What if there's an emergency? People look to tall people in emergencies. We're the lighthouses of society.

Mike: This is nuts. I don't have to be in control. If there's a control freak in this family, it's you.
Frankie: What? Me? [chuckles] You're gonna have to reach pretty far back to make that case.
[flashback to this morning:]
Frankie: We're all wearing orange, so nobody gets lost.
[flashback to the plane:]
Frankie: If you two could just scootch over one toward the window... Sir, then if you could take the aisle seat?
[present:]
Frankie: You think that's being a control freak? Do you? Do you, Mike? 'Cause it's not. You know what that's called? Being a mom. I packed everyone's suitcases, made the snacks, checked the tickets, made sure nobody gets lost, and what do you do? You take a shower, and you waltz out the door. But I have to dot, because if I didn't, this family would never get anywhere! I'm not in control because I like to be. I'm in control because I have to be.
Mike: Where are those snacks again?
Frankie: Okay, you know what? I'm done. No. That's it. You wanna be in control? You're in charge of the whole family. I'm just a passenger. Mm-hmm. A passenger who is going to enjoy having someone cater to her needs in first class.

Sue: Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God! I won! I won a contest! [screams and dances]
Frankie: [v.o.] Now you may wonder why we weren't more excited, but, see, over the years, Sue'd won a lot of contests.
[montage:]
Sue: I won a free mix-in at the yogurt store. [screams and dances]
Sue: Hundredth caller! K-102 morning zoo bumper sticker.
Sue: [gasps] Pickle lover's recipe book! 52 pickle recipes with colored pictures! [screams and dances]
[present:]
Sue: I won a trip to New York! Look, you guys. I won! I really won!
Frankie: You really won a trip to New York?
Sue: I was at the orthodontist, and in this travel magazine, there was this little card you had to fill out with "I love... [blank] York" and mail it in. I put "New," and I guess I was right. Whew. So lucky. I was this close to saying "Michael."
