Big Mike Quote #25
Quote from Big Mike in New Year's Revelations
Mike: Come on, this is nuts. Aside from being you, you've got it pretty good. You got a million reasons to live.
Big Mike: Like what?
Mike: [sighs] Well, all those malls are closing down. Those clothing racks have got to go somewhere.
Big Mike: That's tempting, but you should have said something months ago. I'm already in the dying mood.
Mike: Why, Dad? You're completely fine.
Big Mike: Well, I already had you drive me up here. We kind of put this whole thing in motion. I don't want to be a bother.
Mike: You don't want to be a bother? Well, actually, Dad, if you die, I got to buy a coffin, I got to arrange a funeral, call all the relatives, think of something to write on your tombstone. Not to mention that it's the middle of the winter. We're going to have to store you someplace 'til the spring when the ground thaws. That's all going to be a big pain in the butt.
Big Mike: Oh, I don't want to be a bother. What are you standing around for, boys? Help me up.
Axl: [to Brick] We don't have a chance in hell of being normal.

Quote from Frankie
Sue: Mom, I need to talk to you about the Sean thing.
Frankie: I didn't tell anyone. Okay, I did tell the receptionist at Curves, but she lives two towns over.
Sue: Wait, you went to Curves?
Frankie: Oh, no, I had to stop and get my I.D. made for this year. That way, I can park in their parking spot when I go to the donut shop across the street.
Quote from Big Mike
Big Mike: I've always been partial to this spot. This is where I asked your mom to marry me.
Mike: That's a great story, Dad, but what the hell's happening?
Axl: Yeah, Grandpa, are you sick?
Big Mike: Not yet, but it's just a matter of time. I'm sure the next few years are not going to be pretty, why belabor it? I'd rather just lie down, be covered by a blanket of snow, and just drift away.
Brick: But what if you're still alive in the morning?
Big Mike: Well, then, the next night'll get me for sure. Be a good boy and gather some leaves, make a death-pillow for Grandpa.
Quote from Sue
Frankie: Okay, start from the beginning. I want to hear everything.
Sue: Okay, well, I guess I've sort of always had a crush on him. That summer that he helped Axl paint the garage. Carly and I made them lemonade, like, every day. And I would always say, "Oh, do you want it tart or sweet". And Sean would say, "I want it sweet, just like you, Suzy Q".
Frankie: Aww!
Sue: But then I dated Darrin in high school.
Frankie: Ugh. I can say that now.
Sue: But over the past couple years, we've gotten to know each other more, and he is always so nice and he shows up when I need a date for things. And I never thought that he viewed me as more than a friend, but last night... we kissed. [ornament shatters] Oh, my gosh, are you okay?
Frankie: Yeah, just bleeding. Keep talking. I want to hear the details.
Sue: Okay.
Frankie: So how was the kiss? I've always imagined he's a good kisser... That sounds bad.
Sue: It was amazing! I don't even know how to describe it. Okay, remember when we were driving to Axl's baseball game and I saw a pack of baby deer running underneath that double rainbow? It was like that, expect Dad wasn't yelling, "We're not pulling over".
