Axl: Oh! This is all your fault!
Frankie: What are you talking about?
Axl: I'll show you what I'm talking about. Axl Heck, star student of the week. Boom. Exhibit A. "I will be a rock star during the week and an astronaut on the weekends." Now that I'm older, I realize I should have reversed that, but you helped me with this. All through elementary school and middle school was, "You can be anything you want to be, Axl. Don't be afraid to dream big, Axl." Then I hit high school and you pull the rug out from under me! I wanted to start a T-shirt line. I wanted to be a reality star. And now, thanks to you, I'm stuck in a dead-end job for the rest of my life.
Frankie: [sighs] Axl, you're just an intern. This is not what you're gonna be doing forever.
Axl: Um, it's a little late to apply to astronaut school, so I think it is. Look at this. "Who are your heroes? Mommy, Daddy, and Spongebob." Guess it's just Spongebob now.

Mike: Well, I'm just saying that you and Axl are pretty much the same person.
Frankie: What? You're out of your mind.
Mike: All I'm saying is he comes home whining, you come home whining...
Frankie: I do not come home whining.
Mike: "The tablets don't work. It's hard." "There's too many patients. It's hard." "There's no desk to sleep under.
It's hard."
Frankie: I'm sorry. Would you prefer I not share my day with you?
Mike: I didn't know that was an option.
Frankie: [sighs] Whatever, Mike. You know, you're not gonna make me feel bad. Everybody brings their work home with them.
Mike: I don't. Last week, an earthmover rolled over my foot. I didn't say a word. All my toes are completely black. You want to see?

Frankie: Axl and I are not alike in any way. I happen to be a very positive person.
Mike: I know. You're very positive that all your pie-in-the-sky ideas are gonna work out. And when they don't, you complain and give up.
Frankie: I do not have pie-in-the-sky ideas.
Mike: Really? How's that jewelry line coming? You ever get Oprah to try on your earrings?
Frankie: For your information, I have some feelers out to locate her exact address.
Mike: Okay, well, maybe when you do, you should send her one of Axl's Buttronaut t-shirts that were gonna make him famous.
Frankie: Maybe I will. I think they look great with the earrings.
Mike: Look, I'm just pointing out that you and Axl are kind of the drama queens of the house.
Frankie: You know what, Mike? I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. If you think Axl and I are alike, I am gonna take that as a compliment, because I love my son, and he has a lot of great qualities. You sit here in silence with your stoic, black-toed army, and I will be hanging with the dreamers.
