Quote from Frankie in Back to Summer
Brick: But I can only remember the days I wasn't in the middle of a book. What did I do on September 8th?
Frankie: That was the first day of school, and after school, we... [groans] I don't know. You know, maybe it would be easier if we start with holidays. Thanksgiving. There was turkey, and... someone was over. Wait. Did we go to Janet's? No. Yes? Wow. I should be able to remember this.
Frankie: [v.o.] What was wrong with me? I mean, I used to have a great memory, but lately...
[flashback to Frankie walking into a room:]
Frankie: [sighs] I know I came in here for something.
[flashback to Frankie on the phone:]
Frankie: Hello? Wait. Sorry. Who did I just call? [sighs]
[flashback to Frankie going to see Mike in the kitchen:]
Frankie: Mike, this is really important-
Mike: Hang on a sec. Okay, what?
Frankie: [sighs] Thanks. Now I don't remember.
[present:]
Frankie: What were we talking about again?
Brick: How you don't remember anything.
Frankie: Right.

Quote from Axl
Axl: I hope you know you have sent me to the dumbest school in the world!
Mike: Seemed like a good fit.
Axl: So I didn't do my community service. You know, like, helping poor people or whatever. And if I don't get my 30 hours done by Friday, they're saying I'll flunk civics, and we'll have to pay for some stupid class I have to take in the summer!
Mike: And you're just telling us now? Why didn't you do the assignment?
Axl: Because... It shouldn't be an assignment! They're forcing me to help people against my will! I don't know. Doesn't that seem like communism or something? Did I use that right?
Mike: As much as I'd love to join in on your war on community service, you're doing it.
Axl: Ugh!
Quote from Sue
Sue: Not so fast. Summer's not officially on till my graduation on Friday, when you watch me accept my special award, presented by the principal in front of everyone. [screams]
Frankie: Oh, honey. Well, you certainly earned it.
Frankie: [v.o.] Boy, did she earn it. Sue'd set her sights on the perfect attendance award years ago, and nothing was gonna make her miss a day of school.
[flashback to a red-nosed Sue sitting at her desk with bottles of cold medicine:]
Frankie: Here.
[flashback to Sue rushing to her locker to vomit]
[flashback to Sue sneezing as she climbs rope in gym class, causing her to crash to the floor]
Sue: I did it. I put myself and countless others at risk, but it was worth it!
Mike: We're very proud.
