Mike Quote #111
Mike: Happy birthday.
Sue: Huh? [yawns] Donut holes?
Mike: Had to drive 10 miles up the road to find them, but, yeah. I know they're your favorite.
Sue: Oh. Thanks, Dad.
Mike: I'm sorry if I was short with you last night. I know this hasn't been a great birthday, and I'm sorry for that too. How about when we get home, we throw you a nice big party?
Sue: Really? [nods] Wow.
Mike: We okay?
Sue: Mm-hm. We're okay. But, Dad?
Mike: Yeah, honey?
Sue: Donut holes are Brick's favorite. I like waffles.
Mike: [sighs] Really?
[Axl groans as he stretches and the fold-out cot unfolds]
Axl: I like donut holes.

Axl: I had the lowest of expectations, and I'm still disappointed.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Frankie: [v.o.] Americans have had a long love affair with their cars. Road trips, tailgating, family vacations... But these days, not so much.
Mr. Ehlert: America is treating its cars like an old wife it's sick of sleeping with because maybe she's gained a little weight or stopped taking care of herself. No offense, Frances.
Frankie: None taken?
Mr. Ehlert: America's bored with their cars, and we need a little PR to fix that. Everybody give a big hand to our new customer-relations supervisor, Frances Heck.
Frankie: Oh. [applause]
Mr. Ehlert: From now on, Frances, you're responsible for writing birthday cards to all the cars we've sold over the last 10 years.
Frankie: I'm writing birthday cards to cars?
Mr. Ehlert: You have until next week to do 5,000. Congratulations on your promotion.
Quote from Axl
Sue: I'm gonna get postcards from every fun thing we do for my birthday weekend, and Mom's gonna help me make a scrapbook.
Axl: Awesome. I'm gonna take pictures of every lame thing we do on this lame weekend, and then Mom can look to them for clues as to why I ran away.
