Quote from Sue in Floating 50
Sue: [answers phone] Dad? Uh, is everything okay? Why are you calling me? You never call me.
Mike: What? I call you. Hey, listen, i was thinking you might want to come home this weekend.
Sue: Just tell me who died. I can handle it. No, I can't! Oh, my God, I loved them so much! Who was it?!
Mike: Everyone's fine. Look, here's the deal. I decided that we floated your mom's 50th birthday long enough, so we're throwing her a little surprise party tomorrow.
Sue: [gasps ] Oh! Oh! We are? Oh, that's so exciting! [gasps] Who's coming? Can we have a theme? She likes the ocean. Oh, wait, how are we gonna plan a whole party in one day?
Mike: Well, your brothers and I have been working on it for a while. We didn't tell you 'cause we were worried you might blow the surprise.
Sue: What?! Why would you think that?
[flashback:]
Mike: Damn pocket knife's broke. I need a new one. [Sue squeals]
Frankie: Happy Birthday.

Quote from Mike
Brick: We're having an "I Can't" ceremony at school.
Frankie: Oh, no. Is that something we have to go to?
Brick: No, it's an in-school ritual to help kids build a positive attitude. [Mike scoffs] We're each supposed to write "I can't" on a piece of paper along with something we can't do and then bury it in a hole.
Mike: I can't believe they're doing this crap. You know who's not burying words? The Chinese.
Quote from Brick
Mike: I'm gonna call and invite over a bunch of her friends.
Brick: Oh, no! I can't do small talk! Oh, I should have put that.
Axl: Yeah.
Mike: Come on, guys. I want to do this. We got some extra money from the diapers, so let's do something nice for her. You know, we really got our asses handed to us for Mother's Day. So if we can pull this off, she'd never see it coming.
Brick: Wait, so, all we have to do is be better than Mother's Day? Which one are we talking about? Yellow pants, expired gift card, or loose change in a baggie?
Mike: Somehow, we got to top all of those.
Quote from Brick
Brick: [to Ron Donahue] You know, I always thought I couldn't do small talk, but now I'm gonna try. My mother's 50th birthday brings up thoughts of the fleeting nature of time and my own ultimate demise. Oh, but look who I'm talking to. You're even older than my mom. This must be on your mind all the time.
