Quote from Frankie in A Birthday Story

Frankie: Brick, if we're gonna do this, you got to invite a lot less. See, this is why they need smaller class sizes.
Brick: Oh, the other thing I'd like this year is to finally hear the story of the day I was born.
Frankie: Um, actually, you know, this list does seem very doable. I'm gonna get on it right now. I'll go out and see if we still have those plastic chairs.
Mike: I'll go.
Frankie: Come on.
Brick: Hmm.

Quote from Brick

Frankie: [v.o.] Iis there anything better than a surprise party? The only hard part is keeping the secret. But when you pull it off, it's something no one ever forgets. Yep, everyone loves a surprise party.
Brick: I invited my whole class to my birthday on Saturday.
Frankie: [v.o.] Surprise.
Frankie: Saturday? You're just telling me about this now? Oh, Brick. I don't have time to throw a party for 20 kids in 3 days.

Quote from Frankie

Brick: I already told you what I want. I just want to hear about the day I was born. [Sue squeals]
Frankie: [v.o.] Brick was starting to realize that every time he asked to hear about the day he was born, he never really got the full story.
[flashbacks:]
Frankie: It was a rainy day, and I was at the grocery story, when... Uh-oh. Doorbell.
Mike: It was a snowy day, and your mom was helping me shovel... Was that the doorbell?
Axl: It was a really hot day, so I was getting Mom a popsicle, and, uh... Oh, dude, doorbell.
[present:]
Brick: Why is it every time I ask about the day I was born, no one ever answers me? I've heard a million times how Sue was born on a leap day, so technically she's still only 3 years old, and Axl came out with a pointy head, but no one ever talks about my story. It's almost like you don't want to tell me.
Frankie: Of course I want to tell you. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Mike, I'll need to see you in the dining room.
[Frankie and Mike frantically confer in the dining room before returning to Brick]
Mike: How would you like a brand-new bike?

Quote from Brick

Frankie: Okay, Brick, here's the thing. You invited 25 kids to the party, but everything comes in packs of 24. We're not gonna buy a whole extra set just for one kid, so you're gonna have to uninvite someone.
Brick: I can't.
Frankie: Come on. There's always one kid nobody wants at the party.
Brick: That's me, Mom.
