Brick Quote #1065
Brick: Dad's on board with getting the iPad, but he thinks middle school is a long way off.
Frankie: Really? He really said that?
Axl: Hey, Mom, can we go to Red Lobster for dinner tonight?
Frankie: No.
Brick: Yeah, that's what Dad said. He absolutely said that.
Axl: Why not? You're always saying we should do more as a family.
Frankie: We are gonna do something as a family. We are eating defrosted pot pies from the Frugal Hoosier and watching Dance Moms.
Axl: Yeah, I just don't think that's a very good idea for tonight.
Brick: So, since Dad thought middle school was so far away, I was just thinking you guys could give me the iPad for my graduation present.
Frankie: [sighs] Are you still talking about this?

Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] So while Mike and I had been harassing the loyal servants of the US Postal Service, turns out it wasn't the '80s anymore, and the news we were all waiting for was coming over a different kind of mail. [cell phone buzzes]
Axl: Yes! I'm in! Oh, my God! I just got an official e-mail from East Indiana State. It's official! I'm in! Oh, my God. That's it! I'm outta here! So long, suckers! East Indiana State freshmen rule! [high-pitched voice] Ha ha ha ha! Whoo! [exits and then returns] I still have to graduate, don't I? [teacher nods]
Quote from Mike
Brick: Dad, can you please get me an iPad?
Mike: I'm heating up my coffee with a hair dryer. What do you think?
Brick: I don't think you realize what getting me an iPad would mean. For example, when we go on trips, you wouldn't have to lug around all my books. Remember that time you threw out your back while picking up my book bag?
Mike: The answer's still no, but thanks for reminding me I'm old.
Quote from Frankie
Brick: So the iPad? Yes or no?
Frankie: Brick, the only way you're getting an iPad is if you're in Steve Jobs' will.
