Mike: Frankie, where are you going?
Frankie: No, I can't do this. No. I can't do it. I am not gonna take my son a million miles away. I will not be a part of it. It's just... It's too much. You guys do what you want, but I'm not going. I tried, Axl. I tried to be cool so that you'd come back and visit and I wouldn't lose you forever, but you know what? I'm not cool. I am not okay with this. You know, Indiana Mobile has a family plan for a reason. Because families are tied together. No matter what. We can't all be off using our minutes willy-nilly by ourselves. The minutes are all connected! They are intertwined! 'Cause that's the way it's supposed to be. Indiana Mobile gets it.
Mike: Frankie...
Frankie: No. And you have to appreciate the minutes before they run out. Because this is it. It's really it. [sobs] It's over. The five of us are never gonna be together like this again. Axl's leaving, Sue's gonna take some hotel job, Brick'll be sealed up in his room reading, and Dad'll blow up and I'll find out from a grief counselor! It's the end of an era. And it's never gonna be the same again.
Mike: That's the way it's supposed to be. [they all hug Frankie]
Frankie: Just promise me that no matter what happens or... or where you guys end up, we'll always stay on the same family plan.
Axl: We will.
Sue: Promise.
Brick: Always.
[After the family gets back in the car and drives away, the camera pans down to show the blue bag on the road]

Frankie: [v.o.] So, the day was here... my oldest son was really leaving the nest. I was packing sandwiches and pops for the way there and frosting and tissues for the way back.
Axl: Ready to go?
Frankie: Oh, yes.
Axl: Hey, what happened to the blue bag? It's blue.
Frankie: I backed over the orange one, tuna salad rotted in the yellow one, so I got a new blue one. You get a fresh bag for the trip!
Axl: Mm. Mom, are you doing okay? You've been, like, amazingly chill about all this.
Frankie: Oh, you know, you said you didn't want us to make a big deal, so no big deal. No goodbye breakfast. No teary send-off. And when you come home to visit, this is what you can expect. More of this. Cool Mom all the time. Besides, there's one thing I will not miss around here. Your smelly socks. [sniffs Axl's socks]

Sue: Congratulations, Brick. You won fair and square. I'll turn in my uniform on Monday and erase my name from the schedule. That's why we write it in pencil.
Brick: Wait, Sue, don't do that. I'm the one who should quit.
Sue: What? Why?
Brick: [sighs] It means more to you than it does to me. Plus I keep licking the potatoes. They're gonna catch me eventually, so I might as well quit now. It started out 'cause they were salty, but then it became this thing where I convinced myself that if I didn't lick them, Mom and Dad would die.
Sue: Brick, you can't lick the potatoes.
Axl: Man, you are such a weirdo.
Brick: Call me weird, but I've got two living parents.

Mike: Oh, by the way, I called the credit-card company and had them take that $5 charge off. It turns out that RNJ is just the parent company of some coffee place called the Golden Bean. And I told them, "We don't drink fancy coffee, so that couldn't be us."
Frankie: Oh, yeah. That was me.
Mike: What? I thought we agreed we'd only have coffee at home, at school events, and the Jiffy Lube.
Frankie: Look, I was stressed from taking care of my mom and I passed a coffee place and I said, "I want a damn coffee." Yeah, that's how I said it in my head. I said "damn." That's how much I wanted it. It was a one-time thing, okay? Don't you ever want to treat yourself?
Mike: I don't see the point. You get used to nice things, and then you got to come back to this.

Mike: You sure we're in the right parking lot?
Frankie: Yeah, yeah, I told the kids to meet us outside the abandoned Penney's. Or did I say the abandoned Sears?
Mike: What about the abandoned Wet Seal?
Frankie: No, that's been gone a while. They turned it into a Claire's Boutique, and now it's a Marine recruiting center.
Mike: Well, they'll find us.
